Hi there, it’s good to found out that Sony cameras are equipped with such a powerful tool helping photographers shoot JPEG SOOC, and so excited to bought recipes from Alex, who is so professional in color. Yeah I’ve downloaded the PDF from the payment email and tried several recipes on my Sony A6400

Hi! Im trying the latest Kodak gold 200 film simulation, but Im not getting the expected results. Here's a test of a JPEG straight out of the camera with the recipe applied: Vs the same picture with a preste applied in Lightroom, which shows the result I expected: Is there any other config I s

Hi All! I'm new to photography and wanting to test out these amazing film simulations and am playing around and getting comfortable with them. I have an upcoming trip to Japan -- both within major cities and more rural areas and really want to find the best simulations to load into my camera! (Rea

Hey guys! First of all, congratulations to everyone who contributes to this forum and especially to the founder who came up with this brilliant initiative. I recently found an influencer on Instagram who uses a Fuji camera as well as her recipes to achieve the result below. Would anyone know a rec

Was just trying to buy the sony film lightroom presets but they're out of stock. Thought I'd let you know in case something's wrong... figure a digital product can't be out of stock right? Thank you so much for creating these, I love the in-camera ones so far!

First, let me say this is the happiest find on the internet I've had in a while. Your dedication to creating something new is amazing, and after a friend lent me his film camera, I've been craving to emulate that look with my FX30. What I find is the Picture Profile setting is just for the viewfi

Hi Alex, Thanks for the latest update! Your work really reignited my love for digital photography! I would like to use your color checker references to control the output of my camera (RX100VI). In the welcome guide manual pdf you write „take a picture with the color checker underneath it“ Are you r

请问一下您提供的方案是可以拍视频的吗？（因为我看到好像大家都在分享照片） 所以您的胶片方案，并不是类似那种在slog模式下拍摄完成后，再用类似“cineprint16”这种胶片模拟，在达芬奇完成调色。 而是直接调整摄影机拍摄参数，直接呈现最终结果？ 感谢您的回复

Hi Alex. I love your work. Most other solutions online are presets that need to be applied in post but you just make everything works SOOC. It is truely wonderful. I really like the EktaChrome and KodaChrome (v2 in particular) b.t.w. They give some unique look that cannot be found elsewhere. N

Since different Sony cameras have different color casts, I'm wondering which camera you used for the Recipes IV PDF. I'm using an a6400, and I've read that it has essentially the same sensor (smaller) as the a7iii. If I'm not mistaken I believe you were using a7iii before--but now it looks like you

I recently bought the recipes and am loving them. But I have an issue. I am using the A7C. I program the different simulations in PP1, PP2, PP3 etc. But each simulation has its own values for white balance and white priority. But these values can’t be locked to different PP.. So when I change from o

Hey! I've been playing around with the film simulations a bit, and sent my wife the PDF ahead of a vacation we're planning so she can choose the film simulation we use. She liked Fuji Eterna the most, which uses a Gamma setting of HLG and a Color Mode of BT.2020 Neither of these are available on

I'm in the market for an external monitor, preferably one that records externally. I've been looking at the Atomos Ninja V but from what I can tell it only records in s-log. Would that be an issue for the film profiles that don't use s-log? I'm using an A7III.

Hello! First post and only a few days using both the PDF presets in camera and the LR presets. I have just read that the LR Profiles are meant to be used with the camera profile ALSO configured, which is a bit of a downer. If I want the look on camera, I set the camera and shoot JPG. If I want to

Hi veresdenialex and the community, I've started my photography journey with a Sony R100 VII, using your pictures profiles (CineChrome, Classic Chrome, Evpro, etc.). I recently transitioned to the new Sony a6700 based on your recommendation and am currently getting familiar with the camera. While I'

Hey! First off, I want to commend the creator of these film sims. They've really opened up a realm of possibilities with the Sony. We all know Sony cams have a lot of potential, but the time to get up to a working image is the price to pay. I'm testing the digital sims out and a review is in the wo

Currently there is a trend of young youtubers like gawx which utilize a style like wes anderson or Jean-Pierre Jeunet with a vintage look. I know that this look can't be recreated with the sony film simulation due to grain and halation. I tried playing around with your Portra 800 settings but

Hi ya, I am struggling to get the following skin tones in my portraits. Preferrably, I would like to create them as Sony Picture Profiles or even Creative Styles. I want to create a Film-like workflow, where I shoot and then export uncompressed JPEGS straight from my A7R V. Any ideas on how to achie

Hi! Big fan of your Film Simulation recipes, and a total beginner at it. I'm looking for data on how to emulate this film stock for a video project similar to this: (other than the frame/dirt/etc effects): ITALY IN 16MM (KODAK VISION3 50D) I started from the Cinestill 50D recipe, and applied th

Hi Alex. I just purchased the pdf film simulation pack. Are these optimized for the a6700? And is A7 G3 done this way?

Hello dear what preset(in camrea)do you recommend for this result?

I recently purchased the film sim pack and I really liked it, however while reviewing my photos and comparing the jpgs to the raw files I noticed that my raws still carry the color filter and/or wb, how can I correct this? I'm on an a6400 editing in Lightroom (I know wb can be switched easily but th

I've been reading and watching YouTube lately about dual gain sensors. For example the grain on a7IV (a7cII) sensor rises until ISO 400 where it resets to almost ISO 100 level. It starts rising again after the that. A1 sensor resets at 500 ISO and a7III (a7c) sensor resets at 640 ISO. Then there a

Hi, How do you properly expose EvPro+ in still and video? Do you follow 109+ ETTR?

I’m new to using the film simulations and I’m trying to setup Classic Chrome. I’m confused about what white balance I should be using. In the pdf it says 4400k whereas a blog post from last year set it to 3800k. I think 3800k seemed closer to Classic Chrome from Fuji. Can you help me understand wha

I shoot a lot of music photography in various settings, small clubs through to large venues. I get results that I’m happy with in raw but wondering if there are any picture profiles that would work for a different effect. The quality of stage lighting varies but usually workable. Any input would be

I am trying to apply the Sony picture profiles but I am stuck on a few points: • Can I rename the Picture Profiles or do I have to remember that say PP1 = Kodachrome? • What is the best way of adjusting the white balance and colour temp? I could only see how it's possible to change C.Temp/Filter.

ive been playing around with some of the film sims and they look great. A bonus is that I'm also learning a lot about light and colour as I'm a total newb when it comes to photography. My one question is how are people managing in camera sims if you do both photo and video? I have used memory r

Where can I find it again? I already paid for it. I dont think I had another user.

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a Sony RX100 VII and am considering an upgrade to a more high quality camera like the Sony A6700 or the A7C II. My primary focus is on travel and street photography, encompassing both stills and video, with an aim to create short films interspersed with photos. C
