I love a good film simulation as much as the next guy. And I used those a lot when I took pictures with Fuji cameras. But when it comes to Leica I can't  help but thinking that those simulation somehow suck the "Leica look" out of the pictures more often then not.

Lately I have learned more about how to utilize the possibilities in Lightroom, and I often manage with the regular Adobe profiles. Especially when using older Leica lenses, I often get the look I'm after anyway.

After about a year playing around with all kind of presets, which should always be a base for further adjustment, I settled down on one set only.

I want to have consistent colors over all my work, too much different presets doesn’t bring this. I don’t want to mimic film. I am just looking for a nice palette. 

Cobalt was nice, but useless when one switches camera or software (i went from c1 to lr). RNI looks great, works with profiles, but man, so many choices: 192 films…

So, in the end I settled down with a preset from Visual Flow. Not cheap, but a palette to my taste, for outdoor and indoor. No film simulation, so may be the wrong thread. 

Below a portrait with the palette as I prefer it…

I agree, I don't always want to simulate film, but I just want profiles that I like for whatever reason. In the opening post I wrote that all kinds of profiles and presets are welcome, so you are not in the wrong thread. Regarding the many choices from RNI: I have marked 32 of them as favorite, so I usually only look through these and not all the others.

@Blues Bird: I bought 3 sets to try things out: the b/w set, the pastel one and the retouch set.

The b/w set I shouldn’t have bought: since owning a mm, I don’t convert color to b/w, and for the mm I have my own way of processing.

The pastel fits my taste, and though I later on considered other packs, again it will be too much, so I try to stick with pastel. Next to portraits I should landscape and horse riding and all fit in this color scheme.

The retouch set is basically a set of brushes, very useful, and though I sometimes adept things, they are a good base to start.

I thought it might be nice to show the difference between sooc and processing. Or in other words before and after.

Image is solely processed in LRC. Preset from VF, healing brush to clean her face, and then all local adjustments, including for the background to make the image more harmonious.

And another one. Due to my mistake, his ear looked totally off. I tuned it down in post, which together with the colour adjustment in the background are the main edits. The rest was subtle d/b, all based on a VF pastel preset. Again, only LR.

film vs digital - can you see the difference?

ive recently started shooting film. i love the process, but due to costs i cant justify burning 4 rolls of colour film at each shoot. i mainly shoot with a canon 1v. i recently got the canon 1ds mk2 (16mp) seeing if i can supplement the film images with some digital imposters 😬

one image was shot with Kodak Vision3 500T with a 85 warming filter and the other with the 1ds mk2 (with lots of colour adjustments in post)

the 1st image is shot with the 50mm f1.8 stm

Thanks, but are you sure you uploaded the correct version of your image? The right image below shows how it looks in my LR with the RNI Kodak E200 profile assigned:

Hmm. Yup, I'm sure, but it does look different for some reason 🤔

That was very strange. I had to check what it looked like in my LR. I only tested it on a jpg file though, but I don't think it should make that much difference.
