VSCO FILM 01 MANUAL FOR: LIGHTROOM 4 & ADOBE CAMERA RAW 7
VSCO FILM MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
VSCO Film Pro is a brand new way to emulate film and speed up your workflow in Adobe Lightroom 4 and Camera Raw 7. Leveraging the full power and speed of presets while using custom camera profiles to tune your specific camera’s RAW files to the included films, VSCO Film Pro provides the most accurate and instant film emulation available today.
THE FILMS
Each of the 6 color and 3 black and white films have 4 versions: a baseline, +, ++ and -. The baseline version emulates what is typical for the selected film. However, throughout our testing process we found that unlike digital, film is a bit of a moving target. Some shots on the exact same roll of film came out with more contrast, more fading, more grain, more toning, etc. The + Version of each film emulates this look, and the ++ takes it even farther. On the flip side, sometimes both the baseline and the + versions are too extreme and a cleaner look is desired. This is what the - version of each film achieves. Additionally, Kodak Portra 800 has a HC version, which stands for High Contrast. This version employs a special technique that can look great on photos that need high contrast, but the effect cannot be made into a toolkit item.
STANDARD FILM PACK
These are similar to the pro packs, except they don’t employ custom camera profiles so that they can work on all cameras and file types. While they’re not as accurate to the original films, they still look great and can be very useful. For JPEG shooters, the JPEG Contrast Fixer is included to help the contrast built into JPEG and Movie Files not combine so extremely with the contrast in the Standard Pack.
VSCO TOOLKIT
VSCO Film includes the VSCO Film T oolkit, a collection of stackable presets to help you fine tune and customize your images quickly. Elements like contrast, grain, fading, toning and vignetting can all be quickly adjusted from the toolkit.
THE WORKFLOW
Since the film emulation is happening at the RAW level, altering the way Lightroom and ACR interpret your camera’s raw files from the start, VSCO Film is fast and efficient. No more exporting into separate plug-ins or programs, simply click a film and start developing it with all the same tools you’re already using.
You can even apply the films to batches of photos in Lightroom’s quick develop panel and see the results instantly. It’s the power of custom camera profiles with the speed and simplicity of presets.
No more waiting, no more guessing, just VSCO Film.
RESET
Resets the photo to default settings. This preset is the same as the one in the toolkit, but it’s here for convenience as well since it’s something that may be used often.
RESET VSCO FILM
Resets only the elements that the VSCO Film presets effect.
BASE VERSIONS (NO + OR -)
These versions emulate the look of each film as it normally should look.
+ VERSIONS
In our testing, we found that some shots exhibited more extreme characteristics than other shots on the same roll of film, depending on the exposure and subject matter. These versions emulate those characteristics for each film. Usually, they employ more fading, more toning, more grain, etc.
++ VERSIONS
Same as the + versions, but either taken farther or exhibiting a different look we also saw each film doing at more extreme settings.
- VERSIONS
When a film look is desired but the base version and the + versions are too extreme, these versions will probably be suited. Usually these employ less contrast, less grain, less or no fading and less or no toning. For some films that have a reputation for being good at being soft, like Fuji 400H, the - version will be closer to that look.
VSCO FILM TOOLKIT PRO:
RESET ALL
Resets all settings back to default.
RESET VSCO FILM
Resets only the portions of the develop tools that VSCO Film changes.
AUTO TONE
Sets the Exposure, Highlights, Shadows, Whites and Blacks automatically.
BLACK LEVEL 0 (DARKER)
Sets black level back to 0, which in Lightroom 4 and ACR 7 is darker than the default setting of 25.
BLACK LEVEL 25 (DEFAULT)
Sets black level to 25, which is the default setting for all VSCO Film presets.
BW: DARKER SKIES, +
Darkens skies in black and white photos.
COLOR DARKER SKIES: +, ++
Darkens skies in color photos.
COLOR ORANGE SKIN FIX: +, ++
Desaturates oranges, fixing overly-orange skin.
COLOR GREENER GREENS: +, ++
Changes the hue of greens, pushing them farther in the direction film tends to push them.
COLOR SATURATION: -, - -
Desaturates all colors equally. On some films, Color - Saturation - will have no effect since it sets the saturation to the same level the film sets it to. In these cases, use Color Saturation - -.
CONTRAST: -, - -, +, ++
Decreases or increases contrast.
DR: HIGHLIGHTS SAVE, +, ++
Brings back lost detail to extreme highlights. Useful for when the look of the photo is good but some highlight detail is lost.
DR: SHADOW SAVE, +, ++
Brings back lost detail to shadows. Useful for when the look of the photo is good but some shadow detail is lost.
DR: LOWS BOOST, +
Boosts the the darker tones in an image in a more broad way than Shadows save. Useful for when the dark tones in an image overall seem too dark.
DR: HIGHS SQUASH, +
Brings down brighter tones in an image in a more broad way than Highlights save. Useful for when the brighter tones in an image overall seem too extreme.
FADED: +, ++
Increases the amount of fading.
FADED HIGHLIGHTS
Fades just the highlights. If you already have shadow fading or anything from Faded/T oning employed, it may change that as well.
FADED SHADOWS: +
Fades just the Shadows. If you already have shadow fading or anything from Faded/T oning employed, it may change that as well.
GRAIN: -, NONE, +, ++, +++
Increases the amount of grain already present from a film preset. Doesn’t change the look of the grain, only increases the amount. On films that are already very grainy, such as T-MAX 3200 +, Grain + and even Grain
++ might actually decrease grain.
GRAIN BIGGER FOR WEB: +
Increases the size of the grain already present from a film preset. Addresses the problem of High-Resolution photos, such as those from a 5DIII, having no apparent grain when reduced to web-size because the grain
is so small. Allows lower resolution exports of these photos to look more like how scans of the actual 35mm film would look at the same size.
LENS: CA & FRINGING
Corrects chromatic aberration and purple fringing.
SHARPENING +, ++, +++
Increases the amount of sharpening.
SHARPENING: HIGH ISO
Increases the amount of sharpening but tailored to High ISO images so that the inherent image noise isn’t boosted as well.
TINT: GREEN SHADOWS, +, MAGENTA SHADOWS, +
Adjusts the tone of the shadows.
TINT: (NONE)
Removes all T one effects.
TONE: FUJI, FUJI 2, KODAK, KODAK 2, KODAK 3
Fading and toning based on various looks noticed in actual films when less than ideal lighting or exposure was used. Works on all films.
TONE: NONE
Removes all T one effects.
VIGNETTE: +, ++, +++, NONE
Increases the amount of Vignetting, or the darkening of the edges of a photo, in a similar way to how a real lens does.
BRUSH PRESETS:
BURN, +, ++
Darkens the selected area.
BURN HIGHLIGHTS
Primarily darkens the highlights, especially useful for recovering a blown out sky.
DODGE +, ++
Brightens the selected area.
DODGE SHADOWS
Primarily lightens the shadows, especially useful for recovering large dark areas.
COOLER, +, ++
Turns down the color temperature of the selected area.
WARMER, +, ++
Turns up the color temperature of the selected area.
HIGHLIGHTS SAVE, +
Only darkens bright highlights, useful for recovering lost highlight detail without having to be precise with brushing.
SHADOWS SAVE, +, ++
Only darkens dark shadows, useful for recovering lost shadow detail without having to be precise with brushing.
SKIN SMOOTH, +, ++
Has the effect of smoothing out skin.
SUGGESTED METHODS:
While there is no “right” way to use VSCO Film, there are a few ways that make sense and save time when it comes to developing your photos. Here are the two ways we suggest:
1. Adjust White Balance and Exposure first, getting all your photos looking close to how you want, then apply VSCO Film. This method can be the fastest as changes will render quickly without VSCO Film
applied. Note that any settings you do with highlights, shadows, whites and blacks will be over-ridden by VSCO Film, only White Balance and Exposure will not change. The quickest way to do
this in Lightroom is to use the Quick Develop Panel in the Library mode. You can select a group of
photos and quickly adjust them this way, then apply VSCO Film to batches of photos from the preset menu. For ACR, hold down the shift key to select multiple photos simultaneously and apply a preset to them all.
2. Apply VSCO Film first to your whole batch of photos, then go through and adjust white balance and exposure. This method can be useful as slight exposure and WB changes are often needed after VSCO Film is applied.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
Exposure and white balance play a huge role in the accuracy of these film emulations. Make sure you have a properly calibrated monitor and experiment with both the white balance temperature and tint settings.
Often tint needs to go a little more towards green for skin tones. If you’re unsure of where to set white balance, try extreme settings in either direction and slowly narrow down what looks best. Exposure settings are also important. Overly-bright exposure can look overly-digital, but overly-dark exposure can be problematic too. Again, try extreme settings and narrow it down to what looks good.
