Infrared pictures always have something special, I think, but using real IR film to create them can be quite cumbersome. That's why there's this PictureFX digital Film Simulation - and as always, it's FREE ! Like with many Film Simulations, it looks great on one picture but not so much on another. So, it's all...

These photos eventually led me to Flickr and then to... 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...

Oh boy, yes, again a great set of Luts in Cube format, my computers disks are exploding of the many luts !Getting the "largest Collection Luts/Presets and Recipes" together, runs like clockwork.And I'm very happy for that.My advice is : create an extra folder for newly downloaded Luts, and keep the ones you really like...

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...

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...
