Getting The Best Results Using Dehancer Photo

[@jorghahn2903]

Thank you, Marcus, for this introduction to Dehancer! At the end of the video you say that with Dehancer you can achieve the film look but what exactly is the film look? I’m old enough and have shot film in the past when there was no digital yet but I find it really hard to remember what was so special about film or what was typical for film when compared to digital... Maybe you can briefly elaborate on this or even make a video about it? Thank you! Btw, I’m asking because I would not know what look to go for when using a software like Dehancer. You seem to have a clear vision of what the film look is.

There is a distinct look between digital photos compares to film photos. Digital is often sharper, grainless, and with more contrast. The perfection of the digital devices that creates the photos is its greatest flaw (from excellent metering, flawless autofocusing, low light capabilities, etc.) The limitation of the film is its character. Its unpredictable outcome is its strength. We do everything we can to mimic that limitation of film photos and videos (video is just a series of motion jpegs). Grain produced in most software and digital cameras is monochromatic; dehancer creates both monochromatic and color grain. Dehancer allows you to control your grain in the shadows, highlights, and mid-tones. Dehancer also allows you to sharpen your photo by using high-resolution grain instead of digital pixels. And achieving the best film look from a digital camera requires, in a sense, turning off all sharpening, contrast, noise reduction, and dynamic range from your digital camera. I have a newer video on Dehancer (with a new update), which gives better details on how to use it to get great results. And since my last Dehancer video, they have released a major update with newer GUI and features, so I will be doing another video within the next two weeks. Thanks for your comment and for watching.
