The December edition of OSP Magazine consists of 8 pages this time (this included) and many links to external pages, hopefully there's something for you! In the last two months and so after switching to magazines I have learned two things: OSP Photography apparently shows up very well in search results for Recipes, Luts and... Continue Reading →

Surprise !Not one but two new PictureFX Updates in One Day!Yes, you may have noticed while visiting the Fresh Lut's website that there were also PictureFX Luts.Well, for the past few weeks I've been busy converting existing PictureFX PNG film simulations to a different format HaldClut, which made it possible to create much smaller Lut...

The new PictureFX Classic Chrome Gold LUT was created by combining an existing HaldClut (PNG) - namely my PFX Classic Chrome - and Color Mapping of very specific color oriented photos - in this case a photo by Lisa from Conwy UK (instagram - Lis welshie.wonders) Golden Textile @ https://www.pexels.com/ - Thank you Lisa !...

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...

Some may have noticed that the pages "PictureFX Original" - "PictureFX v3.0" and "PictureFX 3DLut Cube" have been removed.In its place has come one page "PictureFX" which will contain all information and downloads on one page.Temporarily the page "PictureFX Professional 4.0 - "The Analog Film Look" is still online, but it will also be fully...

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...

PictureFX Pro Provia, Velvia, Classic Chrome, Superia 200, Acros 100II - CUBE A while ago I started converting Lut's to Cube format, because there was a demand for it.For this I installed conversion software on my computer, and according to the creator of that software the resulting .cube files are suitable for Adobe CS6 and...

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...

The previously released Acros 100 I & II and the not really existing Acros 400 IR, now also in Adobe Cube format. I don't have a list of all compatible software at the moment, but I think that with either one (Haldclut or Cube) you can use almost any image editing software.The biggest problem is...

The legendary Fujifilm Film Simulations - Astia, Provia, Velvia and Classic Chrome - Who doesn't know them ?

After that the Classic Chrome in Haldclut version here... Continue Reading →
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 →
Apparently there is an interest in PictureFX Luts but for use in programs other than Rawtherapee/Artherapee and Darktable.It is my good friend Mark G Adams who brought this to my attention.Unfortunately, I don't have one of those image editing programs, but I do have a converter to convert Haldclut's to .cube format.Mark has been so...

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 →
