Lightroom
~ V4 Profiles must be installed before Presets!
Film Preset Collection
● Step 1. Import profiles folder/zip file into Lightroom. If you do not import the profiles
first you will not see the infrared presets on the left side presets tab.
● To load presets into Lightroom, make sure you are in the preset panel. Then click the
three dots in the top right and import the zipped file.
Profiles V4
As these are profiles and not presets, you must
import the profiles into the
Profile Browser tab.
If you do not import the profiles

into Lightroom FIRST you will not
see the Infrared presets!
Aerochrome/Rollei profiles
automatically apply when selecting
the corresponding preset.
They are not automatic with any of

the presets. They are just there to
offer another look you can apply to
each preset as real film has a slight
color shift depending on the
scanner used.
If you are still having trouble here’s a video install guide.

● If you use Bridge / Camera Raw to edit your photos, you only see a portion of the
presets when you import these presets. Right-click the preset group and select Show
Partially Compatible Presets.
Profiles V4
● As these are profiles and not presets, when you load the zip file they will end up in the
profiles section of Lightroom and not the presets. This is correct!
Lightroom Mobile
To get the presets and profiles onto Lightroom mobile, there are two ways to go about it.
Lightroom Desktop App (FASTEST & BEST WAY)

● Use the desktop app (not Lightroom CC) to import the presets and profiles. If your
Lightroom account syncs properly, your presets and profiles should also appear on your
Lightroom mobile app.
● NOTE: this is the only way I have found to get the profiles onto Lightroom mobile

With V3 I have introduced Save Sky Light/Medium/Strong in the Tools preset folder. This
is very helpful with retaining the highlights similarly to real film. Film can capture a wider
dynamic range (13 stops to be exact) than most digital cameras. You cannot get the same
results on a digital camera without bracketing. But this will help mimic an accurate
“film look”
If As Shot isn’t looking good try using Auto for the white balance after applying a preset.
Auto is not always perfect but will usually provide a decent starting point.
Film presets may benefit from adjusting

Color Grading.
Most of the time no further editing is required after
selecting a preset!
Sometimes I adjust the midtones down 10-50 for bright

sunny shots. Try playing around with all 3 options if you are
not initially satisfied with a preset. Search up reference
images of each real film stock. Try and match the tones you
want as real film varies quite a bit depending on how it’s
developed and scanned.
*NOTE
Sometimes, applying the preset is all that is needed to instantly match a film stock look with just
one click. However, it's crucial to recognize that achieving perfect white balance and tint every
time is a nuanced task beyond the capabilities of presets. Occasionally, a gentle warmth
adjustment or a slight tint tweak is all it takes to achieve the desired tones in your photo. Presets
serve as a starting point, empowering you to delve into creative exploration and make further
adjustments. Warm regards and thank you for choosing to purchase the presets!

V3 Update!
Recently Lightroom has added the ability to detect luminance values with individual
masks for accurate film grain! The reason we want this is because real film grain isn’t
consistent across the entire image like most presets/fuji sims show. It’s always been the
largest issue with film emulation in the past. Working with negative lab pro in Lightroom
I’ve zoomed in 200% on hundreds of real film scans. This has taken me a few months to
work out perfectly as I wanted it to be seamless for the user. I believe my presets are the
first to do this on the market. Simply apply whichever film stock to an image as normal
and the masks will automatically fill the image. This helps mimic real film grain like never
before seen in digital images. Each preset will take an additional second or two loading
now as much more is happening behind the scenes.
V4 Update!
With Version 4, I've introduced two new presets: Fujifilm Provia and Kodak Portra 800.
Provia offers low grain and exceptional color fidelity, resembling a softer, milder Velvia.
On the other hand, Portra 800 boasts higher saturation compared to its 160/400
counterparts, accompanied by a distinctive grain texture. Additionally, this update
includes 30 light leaks that range from subtle enhancements to dramatic effects. These
presets provide a convenient one-click solution within Lightroom, eliminating the need
for complex adjustments in Photoshop, making them more accessible for many
photographers.
