Advertisement Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Hi PeterHatt, Take a look here Simulating film using my Q3 43. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
250swb Posted February 1 Share #2 Posted February 1 (edited) I think it doesn't really have the punch or colour contrast to look like film, this is how it may look if shot with a fairly neutral film such as Kodak Portra 160 Welcome, dear visitor!

I just responded to your quest to achieve a filmic result. I am genuinely curious as to why digital shooters try to emulate film instead of shooting it.

It is so rewarding, as an extension to the pleasure of shooting. it is not rocket science. Just simple routines. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many reasons why some people choose to shoot digitally, even if they like the look of film, and I thought this was already thoroughly discussed here on the forum. Personally, I can't afford to buy and develop film, and I prefer the convenience of a digital workflow. But if I could afford it, I'd definitely buy an analog camera and give it a try. BTW, here's a thread for digital shooters who like to experiment with film looks: 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My original post was done ‘by hand’ not any profiles or presets but by using photoshop a mixture of curves blurring highlights (creating diffusion) and the like.

Jeff S Posted February 2 Share #20 Posted February 2 Well, if you print rather than view on a digital display, then you can use different ink/paper characteristics to perhaps better achieve your rendering objectives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
