LIDF Fuji & Ilford B&W Collection

Pierre — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 06:46:55 +0000

Here is another collection of Michaels film emulation presets. This collection consists of his black and white film emulations based off of Fuji and Ilford film stocks.

Also included is his newest preset “Fuji Neopan 100 Acros 100 -Exp 2005″ based off a roll of expired Acros he shot a while back. This preset is exclusively offered through Presets Heaven.

Each emulation consists of three presets, as always. There is a base preset, an Auto-toning Preset, and a Curve-only preset for each. Also included with each emulation is a set of Adobe Camera Raw XMP presets, allowing you to utilize the same presets in both Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw.

These emulations are designed from analysis of the actual film, shot and developed by me and I try to make them as accurate as possible. They should work well for most RAW images, but if the skin tones are not appealing, I recommend adjusting the Orange channel in the Grayscale mixer to fine tune skin tones. A little adjustment will go a long way.

12 Black & White film emulation presets for Kodak B&W films!

Pierre — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 11:47:48 +0000

It’s not the first time I publish presets from MikeyG. He just sent me his latest bundle of presets. His previous film emulation presets has been very popular out there and this time you won’t be disappointed either. All 12 presets are for Kodak B&W films, and each film emulsion has 3 presets; a standard develop preset that sets the basic development of the image, an Auto develop preset that allows Lightroom to automatically develop them image, and a curve preset that leaves the basic development alone, only changing tone curve and the color mixer.9 of these presets are completely new, having only been released as individual presets at his blog http://lifeindigitalfilm.blogspot.com, and 3 presets were previously released in his B&W preset pack that I released back in October. Those 3 have been tuned a bit and a curve only preset has been added. If each preset is counted the release is 36 presets for 12 different film stocks.

Quote from Michael:
My presets are completely free, under a creative commons license, and are designed to provide a free alternative to the Photoshop film emulation plug-ins. I put about 5-10 hours into each preset emulation to try to get it as authentic as possible. I use my presets daily, as my photography business specializes in film and film simulation, it is my “look”. I want to release them to get as many people able to utilize them as possible, it makes me feel better about my effort poured into them.

I have been releasing these on my blog, however I have gotten nowhere near the reaction to them that I got from the 2 releases so far on PresetsHeaven. I appreciated the posting of those sets, and in the future I will only release sets, other than on my blog, through PresetsHeaven or after you choose not to utilize them.

Michael has done it again (thank you!). This time he has made 18 (9×2) presets that simulates color print film emulations! Well actually they are a collection of two sets. The first one has “auto-tone” applied and the second one is neutral/without. In my review I have chosen to only show you the set without auto tone.
