I remember when digital cameras first hit the market (yes, I am that old) and all the film users got very hot under the collar and claimed that there was NO way that digital would ever really replace film… It would be a passing fad. I probably agreed with them at the time, as the early digital cameras really weren’t great. As time has passed though, technology has caught up (how could we ever have doubted it?) and now you’d be hard pressed to tell the difference between a high quality digital image (edited correctly) and a high quality film image. I have always loved the subtle tones of film, though, and therefore was hugely excited last week when the Visual Supply Company released their VSCO film emulation presets for Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw. Not only should it really speed up my editing but I LOVE the way the images look, especially the black and white photographs.
Here’s a selection of personal, as well as client images, that I had to play with. I did adjust the contrast on some of the images using the Contrast + or ++ presets, but NOTHING has been done to these images in Photoshop itself, except for resizing.
I should also stress that I have no affiliation to the company and I paid for the presets 🙂
Can you see why I am so excited? 😉
Happy Monday, all.
(PS: I’ll be even older tomorrow, woooo.)
