Of course, only real film actually looks like film. If you can use film, you should—there’s nothing else like it.
If you want to shoot digital, these film profiles are designed to give digital images a more appealing color, the one aspect of film that can be reasonably simulated.
Measurements were used to match real films scanned by a Nikon Coolscan 9000, a film scanner renowned for its color.
It’s not film, it’s the next best thing.
Any camera or phone camera supported by Adobe Camera Raw will work with our profiles, provided the images were shot in raw format.
There are several methods for using our profiles: Standard, Advanced, and Pro.
Standard / The image is adjusted and then a profile (3D LUT) is applied

NOT FILM film profiles transform your digital camera’s color by using 3D LUTs (Three-Dimensional Look-Up Tables), which are superior to presets (recipes for sliders).
Real film color has abrupt color transitions and complex color relationships that only 3D LUTs can emulate.
I’m a photographer that grew tired of labs ruining my film, so I switched to digital.
I was disappointed with digital color and found that none of the available film profiles looked like properly scanned film, so I built my own profiles.
There is an archive of discontinued film in my fridge that I plan to profile.
