The Classic Presets

The Classic Film Preset Collection for Lightroom provides the chance to transform the look and feel of old film into our today´s technological possibilities. 30 different Presets help us to create the most popular colour negativ-, positive as well as black and white films of bygone times. Weather Kodak Portra 400 or Fuji 400h, Ilford Delta 400 or Kodak Tri-X 400 – one click and you get your desired look without having to deal with destructive corrections. Whoever uses Lightroom tries to get the best picture quality out of their Raw files - for those photographers the Classic Preset Collection was developed.

The Classic Film Styles for Capture One are the counterpart of the Film Styles for Lightroom and provide you with 35 film styles that simulate the most important negative and positive films in your favorite raw converter. They are designed to provide the highest possible level of customization and smooth image manipulation. Here you don't shoot at every controller to make it look complicated and expensive. The film styles are easy to understand and fit into the typical Capture One workflow.

The Classic Presets are inextricably linked to my love for Magnum P.I., because after countless episodes and with tired eyes, but an alert mind, the work on the Classic Presets began without knowing where all this would lead. Back then, I wanted to bring Kodachrome to life and became a crazy scientist, hoping for a flash in the middle of the night, that would bring his monster to life. I didn't know then, that I had really created a monster. An unquenchable thirst for knowledge has dominated my actions ever since, and I have plunged much deeper into the matter.

Fuji is trying to do the balancing act between the old and the new world, and it works brilliantly. We all love cameras like the X100 or the X-Pro series, but not just because of the feel and rangefinder design. Film simulations such as Classic Chrome, or Acros have also played a big part in the popularity. The Classic Neg is brand new and we Leica, Canon, Nikon and Olympus photographers are a bit envious of it. There is no reason to be jealous anymore.
