Film Lab.

The Looks filters are made up of Color Correct, Diffusion, Color Gradient, Gels, Lab, Grain and Post Color Correct groups. Together, they simulate a variety of photographic and film looks. By selecting from the available presets, parameters in the various groups are automatically set to achieve a variety of different effects.

To select a preset, pick one from the Presets window. If you would like to view presets from a different category, use the pop-up menu at the top left of the Presets window.

Color Correct manipulates the Black and White, Hue, Saturation, Brightness, Contrast, Gamma, Red, Green and Blue values of the image. Go to the Color Correct filter to see how it works.

Diffusion creates atmosphere by reducing contrast while creating a glow around highlights or shadows. It simulates diffusion and fog filters as well as glows. Go to the Diffusion section of the Film Stocks filter to see how it works.

Color Gradient colors and or darkens only a portion of the image giving you the ability to simulate any Color Gradient filter. Presets for your favorite color gradient filters are provided as well as the ability to create custom colors. There is a graduated transition for a smooth color blend between the colored/darkened portion and the original image. Color Gradient is especially useful for changing and enhancing the color of the sky. Go to the Color Gradient filter to see how it works.

Photographers, cinematographers and lighting designers use colored filters or gels in front of lights. Whatever mood you wish to create, we have the colors needed to achieve the effect. Go to the Gels filter to see how it works.

The Lab group simulates a variety of different optical lab processes including Bleach Bypass, Cross Processing, Flashing and Overexposure. Go to the Bleach Bypass filter, Cross Processing filter, Flashing and the Overexpose filter to see how they work.

Grain simulates film grain with individual control of red, green, and blue grain size, softness and intensity. In addition, a Film Response parameter controls where you will see grain in the image. Go to the Grain filter to see how it works.

Post Color Correct gives you further color correction after all other operations have been processed. This is often helpful as some of the operations affect the brightness, contrast and color of the image. In addition, Temperature controls allow you to make the scene warmer or cooler, and cyan or magenta. Go to the Color Correct filter to see how it works.
