Hey, A "normal unboxing" is a video in which someone receives a package and unpacks it. The unpacker provides a video and the steps he takes with comments and thus gives his very first impression.Well, I don't have a package here, but I do have some new software that I found on the internet -...

Frank Glencairn's article and the Luts were a success, many readers have visited his page and downloaded the Luts.It is not every day that an award winning filmmaker gives away free coloring Luts.And judging by the photo of Frank, he seems to be a very nice guy to.As I wrote, the Lut in Cube format...

National Geographic, a new PictureFX Film Simulation in the Cinematic series.The previous Cinematic Simulation called "Crime Scene" was published in November 2020, so it's high time for a new one !This one (and another one) actually stayed in the drawer for a long time, on one hand because I was also working on other simulations,...

As with the PictureFX versions of the "in camera" Fujifilm Simulations and the "real film" based Superia 200, I had spend a lot of time researching, in this case how to Cross Process digitally.I am not going to explain what Cross Processing is, because you probably know that, but we will go over the techniques...

It was probably already clear that a new page was coming, and here it is: "The Largest Collection for Nikon, Sony, Pentax, Canon, Olympus …"And in the meantime, and by the help of good friends, also updated with new links for Nikon, but also Canon and Olympus.Like all other pages, I only post links to...

Although Fujifilm Superia is not one of the standard film simulations on a Fujifilm camera, Fuji still has a "similar to" (as they say themselves) in their options, namely the Classic Negative.For some strange reason, Fujifilm Superia was not considered a film for "Professional" use.But after reading countless reviews, visiting chat rooms and forums, photo...

Hi Guys! Whasup ! Feeling Lomo and a bit Flower Power! No, I haven't been smoking something :-)This is just a new PictureFX creation.The next Film Simulation is still days if not weeks away, To put it briefly, for a sunset filter you need a sunset, for a "real film" simulation I need specific subjects...

Very popular with many photographers were and still are the well-known effects from Nik Collection (now Dxo) with names of precious metals like platinum efex and palladium efex, first applied to Black and White and later also in Color photography. These effects were the reason that I started creating Haldcluts myself to have my own... Continue Reading →
Probably the most important part in RAW development : the "Tone Curve". Technically, this new PictureFX Tone Curve is not a Film Simulation, however, it has been developed for en is part of the PictureFX Pro Fujifilm Color series.This specific Curve has been further fine-tuned since then, and is now intended as a starting point...

Featured picture is the skyline of Antwerp during the Tall Ships Race in 2016, old photos are also worth reviving, dreaming of those beautiful memories of when it was still "different". Now it seemed worthwhile to "color" them or should I say decolorize them.I have used the Agfa 200X in Cube format in Darktable here.... Continue Reading →
Also the cover picture for the month of February, developing RAW with Rawtherapee / Artherapee, with Agfa Black and White Film Simulation.We have four scripts in one download this time. Agfa 200X and Agfapan 25,100 and 400. Download belowThey are what I call "mini scripts" because they are clean and contain only what is needed.On... Continue Reading →
Today I'm going to take a closer look at how to work with curves.Because I can imagine that many wonder how you actually make such a curve, and especially how you adjust it.Actually this is not difficult at all, Rawtherapee even has a tool to help you with that. First of all : the purpose... Continue Reading →
This fourth and final part of the workshop is certainly not for everyone, because even though the title is "improving the analog film look", this is actually not entirely true.In the first part of this series I already wrote about "the perfectionism" that some people are looking for, but that can go two ways.On one...

This new series of Luts is actually part of the workshops, but it is precisely because of the workshops that they have become a bit forgotten. That is why I want to give some attention to the new Luts before the next workshop is ready and released.Two different downloads, the first is the PictureFX Pro... Continue Reading →
Over time I learned that the best and fastest way to make film simulations without getting frustrated is to start simple.A method that works very well is the comparative method - two instances of Rawtherapee open on top of each other.It is also very important to know some adjustment and setting methods in Rawtherapee, it...

In this part I write about how I started making the new PictureFX Pro - Fujifilm Acros 100 II and the ultimate target : an Acros 100 II + R. It gives you an idea on how to start something like this, also a first insight into Presets and Curves, As promised also a download... Continue Reading →
In this first part of my PictureFX (Fuji) film Simulation Workshop I want to define what that “The Analog Film Style” actually is. Probably everyone knows this, but still there appear to be misunderstandings on forums and the like, what such an analog look should look like, and the perfection the image should have after...
