![]() ![]() To do this, I will adjust some of the individual colors found in the photo. The edits that we already completed did most of the work, so you CAN END YOUR EDIT HERE, but I like to do some additional color editing to make my images really stand out. I also like to increase the vibrance and saturation just a tad to add a bit of color pop. Color theory tip: to reduce a particular color found in an image, consult a color wheel to find the opposite color and increase that "opposite" color in Lightroom. ![]() To avoid the image being too orange, I want to add some purple tint. ![]() I like my photos to be on the warm side, so I always increase my temperature a little. Even though I'm striving for a film look, being a digital photographer, I still love to play with the colors to make certain objects in a photo stand out. Here are the Lightroom settings I generally use for grain: How much grain you add is entirely up to you, but keep in mind the larger the size of the grain, the less detail of the photo will remain. Yet, this imperfection is IMPORTANT because it allows the viewer to FOCUS ON THE BEAUTY OF THE MOMENT and the STORY BEHIND THE IMAGE rather than the photo itself. Film photography is often the opposite, as the grain typically found in film photos reduces sharpness and adds an element of imperfection. With modern digital photography, most people strive for crisp, tack sharp photos as a goal. I also decreased the blacks, so the photo retains some dimension. For my image, I increased the exposure, contrast, highlights, whites, and shadows a tiny bit. To make these adjustments, go to the light section of Lightroom Mobile. The first step is to adjust the lighting of the photo to make it appear more film-like.įilm photos typically appear more exposed than regular photos, giving them a fairy tale, mysterious look. However, these general Lightroom Mobile settings can act as a baseline which can be copied and pasted into a preset (for future use), and then you can do further editing from there. Remember, every photo is different, so how much the exposure and contrast are changed ultimately depends on each individual image. I thought the composition looked very serene and magical. A man was cooling off in the water, with a beautiful view of mountains in the background. Let’s start with this photo I took while in Yosemite National Park. Having a limited number of photos forces us to focus more on the moment, story, and composition and less on color science and sharpness. There are generally 24 to 36 exposures when using a film camera, meaning there are a limited number of shots available before needing a new roll of film (or disposing of a non-reusable film camera). Since I don't currently have a film camera, I needed to learn how to edit my digital photos to look like film photos. I love being a digital photographer, but I have always thought that some of my digital photos would look great if captured in a film-photo style. This is when it makes sense to rely on Lightroom to replicate the look of film photos. For a digital photographer, it may not feel worth it to invest in new camera gear just to produce a different style of photos. Unfortunately, film cameras can be expensive, and disposable cameras create unnecessary waste. Recreating the LOOK OF FILM in digital photography is quite the trend at the moment, with an increasing number of people taking and posting Film-type photos to their Instagram and other social media pages! The main reason for its popularity stems from a sense of history and nostalgia most of us feel when seeing an actual film photo that has aged over time.
