This particular pack of Lightroom presets is definitely my favorite because its geared more toward landscape photographers, featuring emulations of many classic films that landscape photographers have used in years past (and some still do). Back when I used film, I used Velvia 50 & 100 a few times and with those rolls I made some of my favorite film photos. Velvia 50 is legendary among landscape and nature photographers because of its contrast, low grain, and how incredibly deep the colors were. I mean when I saw that Fuji’s Velvia 50 was a preset, I was almost sold right there. Film 04 is specifically aimed at emulating slide film, so think high contrast and deep, rich colors. Minor gripe though, because it’s a slider in Lightroom and it’s easy to scroll down and remove any grain. I purchased their Film 01 in early 2012 and I can say that most of the presets are very usable and produce satisfactory results, about the only detraction I have is that if you’re going to emulate film then you’re going to have grain and I don’t want grain in my photos. If you are looking for a review of the presets, I would suggest giving my previous review a read because not much has changed.įirst a little history, VSCO are the makers of excellent Lightroom, Photoshop, and ACR presets to emulate film styles of yesteryear. I don't feel it would be necessary to rehash that blog since this is going to be a review, but rather how I use these presets and how they have helped my photo editing. How I use VSCO Film 04 and how presets from VSCO (Visual Supply Company) can be a useful in your photo editing toolkit, but is convenience worth the price?Īs I explained in my previous VSCO blog, My Review of VSCO Film 01, these Lightroom presets can be very useful to help your photo editing workflow but definitely come at a cost.
