Description:

A film that is hard to find tech data on, let alone physical samples.  This film was
discontinued back around 1980.  Had no tech data, only 6 negatives, 10 prints, and Nik
Color Efex Pro Emulation to work with this from.  I did find plenty of samples on Flickr,
and I used those for comparison purposes while developing this preset.

I can't say exactly how close this really is, but I am getting similar appearance in my
test shot to the samples I have and have found online.  

I notice that Panatomic X has a very strong following with traditional b&w photographers,
and I hope that this emulation is close enought to give modern photographers a feeling of
how this film looked.  

Saving the look of film is the heart and soul of what I do, and this has been one of my more
difficult emulations.  I hope it is enjoyed.

Kodak Panatomic X.lrtemplate:

  This preset is the base for the set.  The preset will set you basic tone values to 
  preset levels.  

Kodak Panatomic X Auto.lrtemplate:

  This preset utilizes all of the base preset, with the exception that it allows LR to
  apply is autotone feature to the photograph.

Kodak Panatomic X Curve.lrtemplate:

  This preset will utilize the exposure setting of you photo at time of application.  
  This preset primarily efects the grayscale mixer, tone curve and clarity, sharpening
  and noise reductions.


Hints for use:

  *  Adjust Red and Magenta channels in mixer to get different looks.  Keep both to the
     right to maintain Infrared emulation.  

  *  Utilize white balance dropped to adjust photo to best appearance.  

  *  Work with contrast and brightness to get proper gray density you desire.
  
  *  Utilize fill and recovery to bring out details.

  *  Increase clairty if softly textured, increase black levels to bring out more texture.


I hope you enjoy this preset, please provide me with feed back on the preset at my
blog, flickrmail, or twitter.
