Which software do you use? RNI has a film emulation package for Lightroom and Capture One that contains both Kodak Ektar and Ilford HP5 profiles, and many more. When installed, you can apply these looks with just one click.

The downside is that it's very expensive, and I don't think I'd recommend it if you don't have some experience with this kind of thing.

Pay for and download the DxO 'Nik Suite' as a plugin to your Photoshop or Lightroom. It has specific modules for B&W or Colour post processing and each gives you colour or B&W presets to use or modify as you wish.

Thanks for your replies.

I don't have software for the moment.

I'm thinking trying Light room, the free version before rent.

Actually the emulations are expensive for the moment so i will try without and see.

There is is no free lunch and especially in trying to use a digital camera of any type without a backup software package, it's a bullet that needs to be bit. Just choose one that most other people use so you can get straight answers. Look at it this way, if you were using film you either have to send it away for processing or invest in doing it yourself, so processing and backup costs are in many ways kind of equivalent.

I agree with you, but I will proced step by step instead rush.

I started the thread below with lots of inspiration about film simulation. 

Lately, however, I've grown a little tired of this. Instead, I've learned how to better utilize the controls in Lightroom, which allows me to achieve almost anything I want with the standard Adobe profiles and my camera's embedded profile.
