You convert with a few clicks within LR Classic and voila. I’m no wedding photographer but I’m a massive fan of the Mastin packs.
I'm also looking at some of the others from Kodak, like Ektar 100 and some of the Portra line. I don't really need ones like the "cinematic" look, although I do like some of the vintage photo looks for portraits, and obviously some good black and whites (I grew up mostly with digital although am going back and experimenting with film shooting). I see that Mastin Labs seems to be geared towards wedding photographers so I might rule that one out, but what about DXO FilmPack and RNI? I mainly will be doing portraits and landscape and travel. Preferably a powerful one, too, with plenty of storage-because you're going to be throwing 16-bit TIFFs back and forth. You'll have to convert every single file you run into Filmpack, then bring it back.
no ACR/Lightroom speed or convenience tools-no edit sync, no copy-paste, no import presets. no ACR/Lightroom presets that incorporate it. necessarily having to save a massive 16-bit edit TIFF alongside your RAW files. "baking in" ACR/Lightroom edits and creating a destructive edit breakpoint. You have to TIFF out of ACR/Lightroom to engage Filmpack as a plugin, which means. But usability and flexibility is where Filmpack falls far behind RNI. (Incidentally, even Mastin is now embracing the Adobe RAW-profile approach-though I think you'd ultimately prefer the wider variety of RNI profiles.)ĭon't read me wrong: I like DxO Filmpack emulations, too-though I wouldn't say they're aesthetically "better" than RNI. Want an easy way to blast through all your travel photograph edits on the plane ride home? RNI is it. I think lots of people would be surprised by how much fun travel photography is when you can share a beautifully-edited result almost immediately after shooting it.) And in all of these places-even on a phone, for god's sake-you can batch process photos en-masse at lightning speed leveraging all of ACR/Lightroom's convenience tools-edit sync, edit copy-paste, default import presets, etc. But I'd recommend giving it an open-minded try, first. (Lots of people here say they'd never actually do that-apply a film profile to a photo WiFi'd from camera to phone. You can use RNI profiles anywhere you can use ACR/Lightroom tech-on your computer or on a tablet, or even in the field, on a phone. You can integrate RNI's profiles into custom ACR/Lightroom presets of your own. You can then use every single ACR slider to tweak results right-there-and-then, on the RAW file, non-destructively. You can control film-look strength (opacity) with one slider within the converter. The ease, power, flexibility, and speed of this approach can't be overstated. Even the inexpensive "lite" version offers an enormous variety.īut most importantly-and this is where RNI leaps way over DxO, IMHO-they integrate directly into ACR (or Lightroom) in the easiest, fastest, most convenient possible way, as RAW profiles. They include hundreds of stocks, contemporary and vintage, BW, C41, slide. I also have DXO Photolab 5 as part of my workflow (not my main workflow, but for some things) so if I did decide to use FilmPack, I think it would integrate with PhotoLab, but I'm not going to use that as a determining factor necessarily. I am using Adobe ACR (not so much LR anymore) so they would need to be compatible with ACR or Photoshop. 
So I was thinking of getting into some of the film simulations, since I liked ones such as Fuji's Velvia for landscape and travel/urbex, among other.
