Get the Film Look
We will highlight the necessities of how and why to prepare your images in the best way, in order to make colors stick beautifully to your images.

Get the most out of your colors with proper file preparation
By editing a landscape and a portrait example, I will show you how to achieve more control about contrast, how to create contrast just with colors themselves and how to get film type dynamic range out of your files.

Learn to work along the lines of the actual workflow and effects of the film process
Furthermore I will talk insights from my experience in the darkroom and how we can relate that to a digital workflow, as well as what we can learn from professional photographers who successfully shoot both digitally and analog.

The files used in this course are available for download, so you can work on them as well, or just have a look into the settings.
