You will (rather obviously) need your own copy of Adobe Lightroom. However, before you start using any presets, there’s a few things you need to know. And if you’re not an expert editor, chances are they’ll help you do a much better job than you’ll do on your own. Lightroom presets can save you a ton of time when it comes to processing photos. They’re possibly the best film emulation presets for Lightroom.īuy from Unavailable Mastin Labs Review: What You Need to Know About Lightroom Presets And it’s impossible to find a high-quality lab that will produce hi-res scans onto a memory stick in every city I visit. I don’t have space for extra cameras and film in my bag. Film had to take a back seat for two reasons. A texture, a dynamic range, a color, which I found impossible to reproduce with digital.īut then in January 2015 I started long-term traveling.
Why? Because there’s a magic to shooting on film. I’d burn through dozens of rolls of film, and spend hundreds of dollars on development. But Mastin Labs help to serve a very niche audience of photographers, myself included. The majority of presets packs, while powerful, tend to be very broad and distracting for new photographers. But this is my second Mastin Labs review ( read the first one here).
I’m not talking about colours, but the overall look.You won’t find a ton of reviews for Lightroom presets or Photoshop actions on this blog. You can see that the character is very different. The shot below is a recent scan of a film photo. When you shoot a roll and scan it, it has a nice nostalgic feel, but grain and inherent softness are a lot more than people probably would expect, unless you regularly shoot film (cue hate mail from film photographers).
We have a fairly nostalgic view of film but in reality, digital has surpassed it in terms of resolution and “quality”. The main reason is that most people would probably be turned off if it was 100% accurate. I think this captures the essence of film, but not necessarily a completely realistic simulation. While I haven’t shot a lot of these particular colour socks, I have shot a good bit on film. I’m not really sure it’s 100% accurate to shooting the same film stocks - especially on 35mm. Is it an accurate representation of film? The Fujicolour 800Z style is more contrasty and a bit warmer. The looks have a distinctly cooler tone than the Kodak ones, and there is a desaturation of greens.
