I am new to DXO software products, but I was impressed with trial versions I used after buying a DXO One camera, so I purchased the following last week
PhotoLab 2 Elite
Nik Collection
FilmPack Elite
ViewPoint Elite
I thought I’d splash out and get everything, but Im still new to the software.
My question is, in standalone FilmPack I get nearly 100 presets, including presets for specific film stock etc.
However, when I try and use FilmPack within Photolab, I only get about 25 presets, and non of them are related to film stock
Why am I missing most of my FilmPack presets when I use it inside Photolab ?
Are you seeing the FilmPack 5 Elite license when you open PhotoLab?
Once you have Film Pack 5 running what you need is the Color Rendering palette.
Here’s what my core corrections look like. I usually choose Color Rendering second, right after fixing white balance, as every other change is affected by color rendering.
I understand his confusion. In FilmPack there are 121 presets, including those for the various film types, where you can get a preview of what your image will look like before selecting it. He was expecting to see those same presets in the PhotoLab plug-in. However, of course, with the plugin you only get the non-film type FilmPack presets. and have to select the film types from a list in Color Rendering, at you pointed out. Unfortunately,it is not very intuitive. And, of course, as a result the plug-in does not provide film type previews like the stand alone version does. For those not familiar with the effects all those different films types will have on their image, it may be a bit disappointing and more of a struggle deciding which film type to select. If someone wanted to, they could create a preset for each film type, but it would be a big effort.
That’s quite true, of course, but all he wanted to know is where the presets from the standalone version are when FilmPack is used as a plug-in for PhotoLab.
Since I’m retired and have time, I’m considering building presets for the all the film types as seen in the stand-alone version. If I do, I will make them available to Photolab users, who also have FilmPack, at no cost.
Tous les presets de FilmPack sont disponibles avec le plugin intégré à PhotoLab dans le rendu des couleurs (options FilmPack). Sauf les rendus Designer qui sont appelés par le bouton “Appliquer un autoréglage” dans la barre commande en haut de l’écran.
All of the FilmPack presets are available with PhotoLab’s built-in plugin for color rendering (FilmPack options). Except the Designer renderings that are called by the “Apply preset” button in the command bar at the top of the screen.
Don’t thank me just yet. I did one and it only took a minute or two. I just need a block of time. I’m also not sure where to put them so others can access them. I’ll have to figure that part out. I didn’t check to see how big it is but I’m pretty sure each preset is fairly small in size. If I’m going to distribute them, even for free, I’m probably going to have to see if I can put the registered trademark symbol in the name, and whether that will create a naming problem for Macs and PCs.
I was thinking about creating presets and share them.
For this I would:
start with an empty partial preset to make sure local corrections are not reset
look at the actual file and figure out if I can automatically generate the rest (I hate repetitive work)
publish the result on Github with a Creative Commons license that allows commercial usage and encourage other people to contribute updates, fix errors or come up with an even cooler idea
Yes, thanks. I saw your post. It was more a general idea on how to create and share own presets, e. g. with variations in strength, without having to do everything manually…
I hold down an scrolled to the end, then i realized you just select one filter ánd apply that and with a arrow so scroll up or down to change the filter which is automatic aplied.
Still a need trick
Good thinking, sins we have a new category you can put the link there when you ready.
About partial presets, did any one some on contrast? like:
Not the common one’s as low mid and high on one slider as contrast is but more fine tuned one’s
which includes micro and fine settings?
most of the time i just fiddle a bit until i am satisfied (i am to impatient to look through al the possibilities behind all tools ) but a partial preset list to apply only for contrast for portrets, landscape, buildings, sundowns, That could be usefull.
(like the NIK’s black and white filters can do)
