THE SECRET TO THE FILM LOOK

[@kbstabs5982]

Very clever, Goughie. Actually brilliant. Never usually buy presets and I certainly could enjoy making this set myself but this one is support-Goughie-worthy.

[@Goughie]

Thank you for the kind words! 💪🏻

[@StudioSolsen]

Absolutely killer my man!

[@kolouker]

Thanks Goughie! That was something I was missing from the default grain implementation in lightroom. Brilliant!

[@oc2phish07]

A very useful video. Some great ideas for experimentation. Thanks.

[@jeoffreystassen]

Great video, always a joy to watch your channel. Thanks for the video’s and all the hard work you put into it.

[@Goughie]

Thank you for watching!

[@AB-wf8ek]

Nice walk through. It would be nice to have some full res examples to see online.

[@Goughie]

That’s reminded me! I’ve been meaning to get some examples up on the website!

[@HVRIS]

Well done man!

[@KenichiKasamatsu92]

Is there a point in adding global grain if there are two masks created specifically to reverse that effect?

[@Goughie]

@@KenichiKasamatsu92 the reason I have done it, is if you make a really strong grain mask you don’t want the extremes to go to zero completely. Also the 97-100 mask I used to “bloom” the highlights

[@TungstenOvergaard]

I find the grain option in Fujifilm cameras is great, very film like, authentic. But for JPEG.

[@Goughie]

I agree! The fujifilm grain settings do look good! I have a feeling they are doing something similar to this in their JPEG processing!

I think for the extreme HiGH -20 and SHADOW -20 you dont need 2 masks from 0-5 and from 95-100. You can create one mask from 5 to 95 and then invert, or? And when creating the preset, under effects > clarity must also be ticket i think...

[@Goughie]

There’s a lot of different approaches for sure! That’s half the fun I’ve set up the extremes as it gives you more flexibility later setting up other variants. If you do a strong grain version you don’t really want zero grain at the extremes. Also having the 95-100 gives you the bloom effect option too. You don’t need to save the clarity under effects at the end, as we changed the clarity in the masks, that one under effects is the global once which we didnt change

[@dimesdede]

@@Goughie Thanks for your explanation, great! :)

[@qawazauri3422]

Nice video👍. I have been doing this since Lightroom recently allows grain adjustment in masks. Problems with actual color film grain have RGB info that Lightroom grains don't. It is perfect for b/w images though. Alternatively if you use Capture one or Camerabag apps, the grain effects are modelled properly, unlike adobe.

[@Goughie]

@qawazauri3422 I did think for a while that Adobe had given up with Lightroom! But they have added a lot in the last 12 months! Hopefully grain is on their list somewhere!

[@just_eirik]

Its so frustrating that Adobe don't add these features (like all the editing options you can add to masks) to the iPad version of LR. You're not even on Classic right? I thought they would at least keep the same features on Lightroom (non classic) on PC and on iPad. I guess I have to install it on PC and make a mask there and do that whole transfer thing by importing the DNG on my iPad. This is very cool btw!

[@Goughie]

@@just_eirik it’s so odd ! I’ve just seen the grain option is missing! But luminance range isn’t What’s odd is when you apply the preset on mobile the grain etc still works! You just can’t edit it! 🤷‍♂️ Thankfully you can import presets on mobile now! You don’t have to do the DNG thing

[@madefromfilm]

Interesting video, great idea… Is this 35mm or 120 film? (120 is more fine than 35mm..) Great job! Thanks…

[@Goughie]

@@madefromfilm my reference images were 35mm for the pack!

[@Mamo878]

The absolute definitive way to get the film look is to... shoot with film. Works every time.

[@Goughie]

@@Mamo878 very true! It’s just become too expensive for me generally!

[@Erick_Pentax]

Les seuls qui reproduisent les films correctement c’est DXO!

[@Goughie]

@@Erick_Pentax dehancer and Davinci or two good choices too! I quite like staying within Lightroom

[@MaxR.]

The best thing on digital is actually not to have any grain at all.😃

[@Goughie]

@@MaxR. haha! Just noise instead!

[@nickmortttt]

why not shave it off? embrace the baldness

[@Goughie]

@@nickmortttt I’m only a few preset sales away from a trip to Turkey

[@AB-wf8ek]

That wasn't even something I noticed when watching the video. Totally irrelevant comment.
