4 TIPS to Edit Digital Photos Like FILM

[@MangoStreet]

we hope you enjoyed these tips! all photos in the video were taken by our pal nick spruck - instagram.com/nickspruck

[@shizukulover]

BIG tip: get a cinebloom or some other diffusion filter. this almost is always on my camera, it gives that cool bloom/haze around lights that takes a lot of the digital edginess off the photo

[@frostialien9191]

Thanks!!!

[@Govvind333]

I have been using the Cinebloom 20% for a while, great results! Definitely feels a little overdo, but helps to turn the shot into a banger. 5% would have been better option for daylight shots.

[@shizukulover]

@@Govvind333 i have 10, it’s usually good, in between 5 and 20

[@gaarax0x]

Using a vintage lens helps too to get somewhat close to the film look

[@3500ton]

@@gaarax0x Agreed!

[@JacobMcAllister]

I recommend using Lightrooms grain as opposed to a grain overlay regardless if it's taken from "real" scans or not. It doesn't behave in the same way as real grain because it doesn't interact with midtones or shadows differently. Lightrooms grain actually does interact with your image and adds individual new pixels. In print, it looks far better than any overlay.

I edit photos in premiere pro so i don’t care

ngl the sponsor ad of squarespace was creative and couldnt even thought of skipping it. Amazing work

[@dna8269]

Brilliant video! Sidenote: I like the simplicity of the talking head setup taking place in the kitchen with a laptop. That simplicity from a 1m sub channel is refreshing in a era that has so many fancy KZbin studios -- not that those aren't great, it just makes it feel more approachable for those of us that don't have a perfect IKEA-esque space to film in, but would like to build a channel up. Inspiration all around

[@belisariustirto]

This times 100, i realised recently that I’m tired of the duo tone light youtube look

[@ployny]

This is the best squarespace plug ever 🤣🤣

[@chamomile08]

Thanks for the tips! 1:10 more hue - less saturation 1:37 hue - blue Lower luminicense 2:30 Blur 3:54 grain

[@MKNYC_]

Watching your photoshop tutorials remind me how little I actually know about photoshop, cool tip with the halations.

[@TheGroovyGuitarDude]

Great tips, and definitely some things I didn’t previously know! Love the style and simplicity of the setup in this video too, thanks man!

[@veronikakhabarova9745]

Thank you for bringing back this genius of advertising. I literally show it to my family and friends

[@MangoStreet]

haha thank you 🙏🏻

[@daniel.h2488]

finally someone actually analyzing what film does to color! btw love your sponsor section, very creative and great humor!

[@Kintec86]

Mother of god, best ad for Squarespace ever :D well done!

[@AsgarAli-yj6pf]

Thank you for another year of banger videos! Looking forward to learning more from you guys next year!

[@MangoStreet]

thank you 🙏🏻

[@RanDeligero]

Probably another good tip is to use references of those shots from film cameras to determine the best approach to edit digital photos like film. Awesome tips! Love the glowing technique in the photoshop :)

[@6storypyramid361]

Awesome video! Loved the Larry David touch towards the end!

[@EbukaMordi]

I honestly thought it was just the grains. I’m glad I watched this video. Can’t wait to start shooting and editing like film!

[@BenjaminHari]

Thank you so much for another video! I absolutely LOVE the film look and is one of the biggest reason I purchased my first real camera as editing RAW from those cameras is 100x times better than on phones. Also love how you touched on points that other tutorials never do and it's exactly those small things that make the "film look edit" even more realistic. Hope you two had great holidays so far!

[@chinmayasinghrawat4622]

Wow! I liked that you covered older versions of Lightroom as well. Additionally, what you did in Photoshop blew my mind!

[@dna8269]

Would it be possible to see a part 2 where you do this for portraits/lifestyle photos or anything with human subjects? Maybe even a couple different camera brands raws (Sony, Canon, Fuji etc)? Getting skin tones and the overall look on par with film can be tricky sometimes. I shoot Sony, and Canon/Fuji seems a little easier to get there, but any brand would be really cool to see.

[@voodstock]

best squarespace ad ever.

[@series25a]

To be fair that's how they got married.

[@jermainelewis4789]

that squarespace spot has me sold

[@MrTabz2357]

I've never been as happy to see a mid-video Squarespace promotion. Hope they give you double the normal commission!

[@MangoStreet]

haha we wish!

[@danihaupt]

this is my favorite squarespace ad so far

[@nerwin]

[@joshaaitken]

The Ending was nice 😂

[@gingerbreadzak]

00:30 🎨 Adjust greens in digital photos towards blues using the HSL panel in Lightroom for a more film-like look. 01:41 🎨 Enhance shadows in digital photos by adjusting hue and saturation, mimicking the coloration of film stocks, particularly in older versions of Lightroom or using split toning. 02:37 📷 Create a red halation effect resembling film using Photoshop by duplicating, applying effects, and blending layers, especially for effects like halation not easily achievable in Lightroom. 03:49 🎞 Add film grain to digital photos in Photoshop for a more authentic film look, using overlays or extracted grain from actual film, rather than relying solely on Lightroom's grain effect.

Love your videos bro! Out of curiosity, what aspect of LR grain do you not like?

[@MangoStreet]

it has a distinct “lightroom grain” look to us. we still use it, but always good to have alternatives.
