Film Stock

#

Film emulsion presets: tone curve, colour response, split toning, halation and grain set together.

Film Stock

Good to know

  • Each stock sets the tone curve, colour response, split toning, halation and grain of a well-known emulsion (inspired by its published curves); exposure, white balance and everything else stay as they are. Monochrome stocks switch Black & White on.

Vignette

#

Darken or brighten towards the edges like a lens, in scene-linear light.

Vignette
Vignette

Parameters

ParameterWhat it does
AmountExposure change at the edges in stops; negative darkens.
MidpointWhere the falloff starts, from the centre (0) to the edges (1).
FeatherHow gradual the falloff is.
Roundness0 follows the shape of the frame, 1 is a circle.

Halation

#

The red-orange glow film shows around bright highlights.

Halation
Halation

Parameters

ParameterWhat it does
AmountStrength of the glow around highlights.
ThresholdHow bright (stops above middle grey) a highlight must be to glow.
RadiusSpread of the glow, as a percentage of the image's short side.
HueColour of the glow; film halation is red-orange.

Glow & Diffusion

#

Diffusion-filter bloom around highlights and an optional veil (haze).

Parameters

ParameterWhat it does
AmountStrength of the bloom around highlights.
ThresholdHow bright (stops above middle grey) light must be to bloom.
RadiusSpread of the bloom, as a percentage of the short side.
HazeA veil of scattered light over the whole image: lifts shadows, lowers contrast.
WarmthCool (−) or warm (+) colour of the bloom.

Softness

#

Gentle lens softness: an energy-preserving blur mixed in.

Softness
Softness

Parameters

ParameterWhat it does
AmountHow much of the softened image is mixed in.
RadiusBlur size, as a percentage of the short side.

Grain

#

Organic film grain sized in microns on a chosen film format, so it stays realistic at any resolution.

Grain
Grain

Parameters

ParameterWhat it does
AmountVisibility of the grain.
SizeGrain clump size in microns on the chosen film format (ISO 100 ≈ 4–6 µm, ISO 3200 ≈ 15 µm).
Color0 = monochrome grain, 1 = independent grain in each dye layer.
ClumpsHow much coarse clumping the grain has (0 = fine, even grain).
