Presets or Profiles?
After installing RNI All Films 5 you
may find it in your Lightroom’s
Presets panel as well as in the
Profile Browser.

Which way should you use it?

Presets or profiles?

Use either way. It’s really up to

you. However the Presets panel is
the way we would recommend.

Because this way gives you access

to the grainy versions of some film
stocks as well as to the RNI Tookit,
which allows for more editing
flexibility.
Which Grain is Right?
In the Adobe world the grain is currently calculated
in relation to a single image pixel not the overall
image size. For that reason it is not currently
possible to create an accurate “one size fits all” 35
mm grain simulation working equally well across
various sensor sizes and cropping situations.

What works well for Canon EOS R users will be too

much for Leica M9 and too little for Fuji GFX 100 or
Hasselblad X1DII.

For that reason our grain comes as a separate tool

(within RNI Toolkit) in three different sizes for each
ISO value in addition to the generic “grainy“ versions
of each film stock developed for 22–36 MP sensors.

Also some additional tweaks of grain parameters

may be required to suit the one’s vision or cropping
situation.
White Balance
Just try to get it right in camera.
Using a neutral grey card or colour
passport can be quite helpful.
Post Processing
In order to achieve the most
genuine film look, we would
recommend to treat the output
of All Film 5 as if it was the output
of your film scanner. And apply all
the correction steps you would
normally apply to a film scan.
Fuji Pro 160NS faded (raw look)

To start with, try exporting your

image, processed with RNI All
Films 5, to Photoshop and apply
Auto Levels
Auto Levels (Cmd + L) or Auto
Color (Cmd + Shift + B).

This will give you an initial idea of

the correction stage most of film
photos undergo in print or after
being digitised.

Auto Color
Enjoy!
