Cinematic Film Effects
FILM GRAIN
Adds organic film grain texture to digital footage, mimicking analog film stock. It brings subtle depth, movement, and a cinematic character.
HALATION
Simulates the glowing red/orange halo around bright highlights in film. Adds warmth and vintage authenticity.
GATEWEAVE
Replicates the slight frame instability of projected film reels. It introduces subtle motion and imperfection for a filmic feel.
BLEACH BYPASS
Simulates the bleach bypass process with a dedicated Silver control, adding gritty contrast and desaturated tones while retaining cinematic depth.
FILM SATURATION
Controls film-like color richness and depth. Boosts or softens saturation while preserving natural skin tones.
FILM DENSITY
Adjusts the density and richness of the film negative. It balances tonal weight, from thin washed images to deep dense film looks.
SKIN CONTROL
Advanced skin refinement tools isolate tones with precision, allowing hue, saturation, and density adjustments without affecting surrounding colors.
TEMP & TINT
Balances color temperature and tint with precision, shifting warm–cool and green–magenta tones without crushing shadows or black levels.
HUE SPLIT & CYAN
Enhances color separation and contrast through a hue split system, creating stronger cinematic depth and refined tonal balance.
SPLIT TONE
Two modes: CONTEMPORARY (warm highlights + cool shadows for a modern look) and RETRO (cool highlights + warm shadows for vintage feel).
PRINTSTOCK
Includes Kodak 2383 (D55, D60, D65) and Fuji 3513 (D55, D60, D65) emulations, accurately reproducing classic print film contrast and color balance.
NEGATIVE STOCK
Simulates various film negative responses, shaping contrast and color behavior at the foundational capture stage.
PRINT LOOK
Original creative grades inspired by modern cinematography, designed to capture mood and tone rather than replicate a single stock.
