#MASTIN LABS FULL DOWNLOAD SKIN#

The exact skin tones, contrast, and shadow color shift red! You get the contrast and deep shadow look, but with skin tones that maintain a natural tone, instead of looking like underexposed film. These presets are advertised as a click process, which was found to be the case. Once you have a feeling for which preset will work best on a certain image, the only real tweaks are exposure, white balance, and tint. These presets are based on Adobe standard. If your brand is not supported, they recommend using the Canon presets.

Most of the toning is in the basic panel, RGB curve, slight use of individual color curves for shadow toning, HSL, and camera calibration panel. These presets are based on the idea of absolute accuracy when matching digital to film, it would be nice to see them build custom camera profiles in the future to cut down on color differences between models. The grain settings also feel like they are on the light end of the spectrum, both in comparison to film and personal preference for making digital images look less digital. The presets performed well on the Canon, Nikon, and Fuji files that were used in the test. Warming up the images, typically into the range, and adjusting tint. Slight adjustments to exposure, but nothing out of the ordinary. These presets emulate Portra that has been pushed incredibly well.Check it out my review of the pack after the jump. Push processing film is the practice of 'overdeveloping' less sensitive film to increase the exposure. This typically results in a more contrasty image with more, and sometimes some funky, oversaturating of colors among other things. It's a technique that film shooters have been using for decades, and it's a look that a lot of popular film presets are using as a starting point before going way over the deep end. I love Mastin Labs presets because they're originally designed for hybrid shooters who work with both film and digital, to get as close a match between their film shots and their digital files as possible. What that means is they tend to be extremely close to the film stocks they're emulating, and they don't go overboard with crazy fade effects or wild levels of saturation and contrast. The new Portra Pushed presets continue that legacy of subtlety and accuracy, doing an excellent job of giving you that slightly over-processed effect, without ending up look like you set all of your Lightroom sliders to Glad you brought that up! Check out some comparisons below between actual film scans and digital files edited with the Mastin presets and guess which is which. But the point is the images are damn close. Editing is not a process with individual parts everything you do is connected to some degree, so finding a way to balance all of those tools to get you to a single unified look without compromising in some areas is quite an achievement. I feel a little silly gushing over presets, but the fact is that Kirk has put crazy amounts of time that I don't even want to think about, into making these as realistic and accurate as possible, and it shows.įrom the subtle adjustments to contrast and saturation to the included 35mm and medium format grain tweaks, each one of these film stocks shines in digital form. I'm selling one of my cameras and just tossed it on the table in the conference room at my office to snap some shots since the light was decent. I went into Lightroom to do some quick touch-ups and decided to give the new presets a try. Color me surprised when I actually really liked the photos as photos, and not just as images for Craigslist. It's subtle I seem to be using that word a lot, probably because it's accurate but the colors pop out a bit more, the contrast in the shadows is lovely, the highlights feel edgy and a little sharp the images are just better.
