This week I finally finished a big updater for my FIlmist presets and Capture One style.
Filmist 1.9 just got a bit update with big improvements to Portra 160 Push, Pro 400H, Velvia, darkroom-inspired mod presets, and more. I’ll show you everything in the video. If you already own Filmist, login here for the free update of Filmist Complete.

Are you still over-editing?
Intense edits that are clearly digital in nature can be amazing. But what I have learned over the years is that most of us over-edit, A LOT! Understanding the balance that film brings makes you edit everything better.
Even my more digital-focused editing kits like Natural HDR are shaped by the idea of being Natural. That’s because I was there when HDR arrived in the world, I saw digital become the dominant force, and I watched the transition happen. This is something we talked about on the recent Pro Photography Podcast.
What if I don’t like Film?
Making film presets that work is very time confusing and detailed. Most people think they don’t like film looks because they have never really used them. Once you see that film was actually the well round bade baseline of everything we do in digital. It gives you perspective.
Even if I’m editing with Street’ist or something bold like Gold-Chrome, the film looks to create a trustworthy reference point. I think it really helps people have confidence in Lightroom and Capture One editing and make their work more emotionally focused instead id… Look how much I edited this.
Let me know what you think in the comments and enjoy Filmist 1,9.
