How To Make a DIGITAL Image Look Like FILM

In this video, I demonstrate how easy it is to make a digital image look as though it were shot on film, in a film camera. I demonstrate this technique in Lightroom but it can be done in almost any photo processing application.

Thank you man....I have learned so much about Lightroom editing from you.

Simple, add grain, blur it out and take the photo with a sony and don't adjust the color leave it as bad as shot. Presto!

Hi Anthony, great video! My Pentax K50 has a custom picture setting for reversal film. It gives the image more contrast and seems to saturate the colours more also, like slide film.

I will try this on my next post process session. Thanks

[LEYGSL]

Great tip. So why is it the contrast needs to be left untouched?

The best way of all: LEARN TO SHOOT FILM!

I've been shooting film as of late and scan my negatives to make film look digital.
