002 Film emulation with Color Response Curves [Lightroom Camera Profiles]

$15
0 ratings

I have a few more packs that include a vast collection of camera profiles based on color response curves of famous curves. But if you don't know what I'm talking about here's a refresher: You can emulate the color response of film stocks of any film stock with a gradient, a LUT, Davinci Resolve, and a lot of patience.

Yes, there are a lot of film emulation presets out there, but they can feel like they're locking you in and not letting you tweak things the way you want. My profiles are very 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 easily. They will help you emulate the colors of certain film stocks without getting in the way of your creativity.

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.


Pack Two

Ektar 25, Ektar100, and ProImage 100 are 3 famous film stocks that have a very natural look while Ektrachrome is the odd-ball here having a more pronounced color cast.


002 Kodak Ektar 25

Ektar 25 is loved for its natural, true-to-life colors and ultra-fine detail, making it perfect for controlled lighting and highly detailed photos.


002 Kodak Ektar 100

Ektar 100 stands out with its bright, vibrant colors and forgiving nature, making it versatile and ideal for a wide range of lighting conditions and photography styles.


002 Kodak ProImage 100

Kodak ProImage 100 is appreciated for its warm tones, soft contrast, and versatility, making it perfect for portraits and everyday photography. With it, you can lean into a more creative image by limiting the dynamic range and significantly lifting the black point so you get those nice soft shadows for a more creative look.


002 Ektachrome

Ektachrome film is cherished for its rich, vibrant colors and excellent contrast, making it ideal for stunning slides and detailed prints in various lighting conditions.











INSTALLATION:

Copy the .xmp files to the specific folder:

Windows: C:Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\Settings

macOS: User Library>Application Support>Adobe>CameraRaw> Settings

It will also work if you create a subfolder in the settings folder so you won't mix them with the other presets


You will get two folders. One contains the camera profiles and the other one contains presets that are just a fast way to apply said camera profiles. If you like browsing through the camera profiles inside Lightroom menus no need to install both folders. Just the camera profiles are enough. But I like to be able to preview them fast, so I also made presets that apply them for easy access.

Please take note that these are custom response curves saved as camera profiles and not a 1 click preset. They are great building blocks that will help you get nostalgic film emulations with amazing colors but you will still have to do your basic adjustments to bring the best out of your photos.

They are not a 1 click preset
