The Fuji set is my favorite, as it offers the best starting point for that style of editing. But if they are the style you're looking for, they are a great choice for the consistency and bright tones.
They are also expensive, at $99 per film type. Mastin Lab's presets are intricately crafted to recreate film stocks accurately. I don't recommend this preset, as it was my least favorite of the Portra's in every test. I find the images flat with a very basic color toning that reminds me of in-camera profiles. Portra 160 is my least favorite preset from this set of comparisons.

The colors are vibrant and exposures are often flat, needing a bump in contrast and a drop in saturation.įuji 160 is my favorite preset from Mastin, but I don't like the blues and red tint to skin tones. I often add a lot of contrast and tweak the HSL of these presets to get them closer to what I want, but the Fuji 160 is a great starting point for bright scenes and exposures. I've always found they look a little too clean for the film look I'm after. These presets offer a very distinct look that some people consider the most accurate to their film counterparts. We're proud of the work that went into creating them and hope that you like what you see. This purpose of this test is two-fold to compare various options for consumers and give an unbiased look at the results, and to see how our own presets compare to the best in the business. These are the basic presets applied, though each system offers a variety of adjustments or alternate versions of each film stock. The RAW files were set to auto white balance and each preset was applied as a one click edit, no tweaking or adjusting. The photos were taken with a variety of cameras, including Canon 5d I, 5d II, 5d III, NIkon d3200, d700, and d750.

We tested 3 of the most popular film stocks from 3 systems so you can see for yourself how each one performs in a large variety of shooting scenarios. I think this is mainly due to people wanting to capture a timeless style similar to the classic film stocks, leading to the development of many preset systems that try to do just that. *header image provided by Kyle Wilson of Hinterland Stills The best of film presets from VSCO, Mastin Labs, and Lightroom Zen Why Use Film Presets?įilm presets are hugely popular these days, as the photography community as a whole has largely moved away from the crazy vibrant HDR editing that was all the rage when DSLRs first came out.
