Your iconic platinum has arrived.
The deep 3-dimensional richness of Platinum and other early era toning is not easy to replicate. So Emulsion 4 uses the power of Photoshop and now with a gradient mask toning. It makes tones rich, intelligent and adaptable for every tone in your photo, in real-time. You simply run the action and it gives you all the control you want with no secrets.
They came from the darkroom.
Every look in the version 4 system has more authentic darkroom tones sampled from real chemical prints. Thanks to the master tone layer, inspired by the Gradient Mask system of BlackRoom. In fact, Emulsion 4 works great alongside BlackRoom. It even includes the Live tone map from Lumist 2 give you real feedback on what's happening with your light. Use Emulsion 4 by itself, or use it beside our other action packs with smooth integration.

Then you can just it as needed and add mods like tone and variants with another click. Even paper textures and water stains are easy. Emulsion 4 adds the included seamless textures.
