Film Emulation presets for Lightroom
If I had to choose a word to describe what I wanted with these presets, it would be “versatile”.
Most of the time, I was experimenting them with as varied type of images as I could get my hands on, and making it possible to get as many looks out of them as possible. All I did with the images on this page was to apply the preset and adjust exposure and white balance.
The files are .DNGs, so you can easily install it on mobile or desktop.
Fuji Superia 400
My little darling, which took months to finish, has an elevated black point, just enough for those characteristic Fuji greens to show up. Works best with slightly warm images.
Comes in three different flavors: normal (my favorite), -1 (faded version, that look you get when underexposing film) and +1 (punchier version, with true black and white points).
Based on my own photography, but also on Heloísa Vecchio‘s work, who usually pushes her Superia to 1600, a great tip
Kodak Vision3 250D
Probably the most versatile of the presets, as it’s apparent on the examples. It looks great on a variety of lights, colors and exposures.
Based on Kodak 5207, from Lab:Lab Analógico.
Lomography 800
One of the darlings of the analogue renaissance. High contrast, but controlled saturation. Personally, I prefer it with softer lights, which compensate the high contrast.
Punch
Just some fun I had in the meantime. It pops the skin tones while muting the greens and blues. It makes nature look fantastic, and cities look minimalistic.
Have a play with the white balance, it completely changes the image.
