Do you know how sometimes film emulation Lightroom Presets can feel like they're locking you in, and not letting you tweak things just the way you want? Well, these Lightroom Camera Profiles are different. They're more like a friendly nudge in the right direction, a first step to help you build the look you are going for with ease and accuracy, helping you emulate the colors of certain film stocks without getting in the way of your creativity.

VIDEO EXPLANATION OF THIS TECHNIQUE

And you can read even more detailed article about color response curves: https://vmoldo.com/film-colors/

Color response curves map out how the different color layers of film react to light, giving each film stock its unique look. I painstakingly recreated these curves from complex film emulations inside Davinci Resolved and baked them into easy-to-use Lightroom Camera profiles so you can use them, to give your photos the film vibes without taking over your Lightroom sliders, so you can fine-tune your images the way you like them.

It's basically like picking a film stock after you have already taken the photo and you also have the power to influence the rest of the film properties afterwards.

They're not magic, but man, they sure make film emulation feel like a breeze.

READ ME

For optimal results, I recommend applying the camera profiles as early as possible in your editing process, right after you set a proper white balance for your images you can do whatever you want with them.

They are not a 1 click preset!

Please note that these are custom response curves saved as camera profiles, not a one-click preset. They are great building blocks that will help you create nostalgic film emulations with amazing colors, but you will still have to make basic adjustments to your RAW files to bring the best out of your photos.

Purchase of these Lightroom presets and Camera profiles grants the buyer a personal, non-transferable, and non-exclusive license to use the presets.
