Lightroom is a powerful, full featured photography tool for professionals. Ive tried to use that to my advantage in creating these filters. I think this makes these filters much more usable in a professional photography workflow than you could ever achieve inside a mobile app. AlHFd8G0rEc/hqdefault.jpg' alt='Vsco Film Pack 01 06 2017' title='Vsco Film Pack 01 06 2017' />While these filters will work on both RAW and JPEG images, I strongly encourage photographers to always shoot RAW preferably 1. By shooting RAW and using these filters within Lightroom, youll be able to take full advantage of these presets and the editing capabilities of Lightroom. A lot of photographers have told me that they want to use these filters to help learn how to better use Lightroom which is awesome, but they tell they have trouble seeing which settings are changing in Lightroom. So heres a tip. To see where most of the magic is happening, go to the Tone Curve panel, and click the Channel RGB selector. Then click one of the color channels. Using channel specific color curves gives me the ability to make very nuanced changes that would be impossible in any other module. The module itself is not very easy to manipulate, so Ive built my own tools for manipulating curves that would otherwise be impossible to create in Lightroom. You can learn exactly how I design these presets and learn to make your own through my Lightroom Masterclasses on the Store Page. Vsco Film Pack 01 06 2017' title='Vsco Film Pack 01 06 2017' />VSCO Cam VSCO Film. VSCO separately offers a line of professional film emulators for Lightroom, called VSCO Film, which I use and have written about extensively and which I highly recommend. A lot of people have asked me a variation on the question Which VSCO Film preset looks like my favorite VSCO Cam presetThe answer according to VSCO is that you cant really compare the two, and that there arent really equivalents. They encourage users to play around until you find something that you like. My experience has been that this is in fact the case there is no direct equivalent between VSCO Cam and VSCO Film. FAQQ. How do I install theseA. Watch the installation video Q. Does this work in Mac Windows A. Yes, this will work on both Mac Windows platforms, as long as you have a somewhat recent copy of Photoshop or Lightroom. If you have a MAC, the installation process will be easier, as Ive included an installer that does all the work for you. Q. Does this work in Lightroom for Mobile A. Technically there is a way to get these to work on Lightroom Mobile, but it takes a lot of manual work for you to set up. Q. Whats the difference between this NATE Cam FREE starter pack, and the PRO versionThe Starter Pack Pro version adds a number of highly requested features such as custom RAW calibration profiles, intensity control, and easier to adjust curves that help you improve results and give you greater control over your style. Pimps Hos here. You can learn more here. Q. I tried opening the preset files and it didnt work. A. You cant directly open the preset files, you have load them in from Lightroom, or move them to the proper directory. Please carefully read the instructions. Q. When I tried loading the files into Lightroom, Lightroom said it couldnt read this type of file. Help A. You probably accidentally tried loading in the files from the Adobe Camera Raw ACR folder. These are a different file type and wont load properly into Lightroom. Try again, and make sure you are loading from the correct directory. Q. Will these filters work with my specific camera brand A. If Lightroom supports your camera, then these filters will work. The free starter pack, however, does not make full use of the RAW capabilities of Lightroom, so you may see significant variance between camera models. You can upgrade to the PRO version of the Starter Pack to take full advantage of RAW using my custom camera profiles as well as unlocking some other useful benefits. Tell Me What You Think. Id love to hear what you think of these presets Just leave me a comment below or hit me up on Instagram. How Insecure Properly Lights Black Actors. For decades, photo and video equipment was designed and tested with only white subjects in mind. Lighting darker skin tones takes a different approach than lighting pale ones. Ava Berkofsky, director of photography on HBOs Insecure, tells Mic how her team beautifully lights the shows black actors, and Mic reporter Xavier Harding demonstrates some of the techniques below. Good lighting benefits from teamwork involving multiple departments. According to Berkofsky, the makeup department should use a reflective moisturizer on dark faces. The lighting crew should maximize the surface area of light, and the camera crew should shape that light with a polarizing lens. Harding explains some of the racist history of photographic technology, and the marginalizing effect of treating white models as the default use case. Cameras didnt have to be built to capture white skin more easily than dark skin those deficiencies were built into the system by carefully optimizing the technology for white skin alone. As Buzz. Feeds Syreeta Mc. Fadden writes, Kodak only introduced black friendly film stocks after complaints from chocolate and furniture advertisers. On Priceonomics, Rosie Cima talks about how the TV industry accepted and perpetuated this bias, and how filmmakers struggled to overcome it. At Jezebel, Dodai Stewart has explored some contemporary implications of this history, like poor lighting of minorities on high budget shows and films, and apparently white washed magazine photos. Because of conscious choices by the film technology industry, photographers still have to learn special techniques for properly shooting a vast portion of the population. Even in film school, Berkovsky tells Mic, she wasnt taught how to film nonwhite people. Digital photography has provided a lot of solutions, but as Buzz. Feeds Mc. Fadden explains and MIT Media Labs Joy Buolamwini further explores, it inherited a lot of white skin biases. So Insecures Berkovsky has a suggestion for dark skinned people grabbing a selfie Stand by some soft light and turn three quarters toward it. Because looking great on camera isnt just for TV stars and white people.
