Can't you achieve it with a bit of split toning?

Magenta shift, low contrast

I don't think modern optometry can correct for tonal perception.

Anyway I loaded the same image up in color managed nuke, don't have PS for linux and gently caress gimp. Against a black background its much more noticeable and even more if viewed horizontally with the image at maximum fill. I could probably coax even more out by turning up the backlight on the HP which is deliberately set very low but I'm not actually going to do that.

Do you really have to derail every thread each time someone disagrees with you slightly? Jesus.

How am I derailing? The guy asked if there was banding and thats all I've been talking about.

Yes he asked if someone else could see the banding and you've spent several posts proving how your equipment lets you see no banding but maybe some if you look hard enough and

I'd love to see a side-by-side comparison of the actual films vs. VSCO'd shots.

Does anybody here strive for a consistent "look" across all their pictures? Right now I just kinda dick around in Lightroom until I get something that looks cool, but it can vary a fair bit from one picture to another. Is it sort of a conscious decision, or does it just happen as you work on more and more pictures? Or is it something that I shouldn't even waste time thinking about if I only ever plan to shoot for fun?

A consistent look is not only in your processing but in your composition as well.

I'm about to get a print of this. Can anyone with a better monitor tell me if these colors look good?

We can't tell you if it looks the way you want it to - that's something you, the person with the "vision", needs to do.

What exactly are these VSCO LR presets? Am I just buying LR/ACR slider values? Or are they more than that? I see they have camera profiles but I'm not sure how these are made and how accurate that method might be.

Are these guys actually shooting(and properly scanning) charts with real filmstock and creating profiles/lookup tables? And then applying that data to calibration data for all these different digital cameras?

It doesn't matter what method they use to emulate the film stock, it won't be the same. They're just black points/curves/whatever set to capture the 'feel' of whatever film they're attempting to emulate.

Scanning test charts shot on real film and attempting to emulate it just won't work as film and digital sensors have different response curves.

If the DR of a digital sensor is greater than or equal to a film stock, couldn't you emulate the film stock with a lookup table made from a chart(s)?

DR isn't the same as response.

Shaocaholica posted:

No but unless I'm mistaken they are related. 2 different response curves that exist in the same range, it should be possible to create a transform inverse curve(lookup table) to mimic one from the other provided the source has greater than or equal DR than the target.

Edit: you wouldn't even need camera specific curves if you have camera specific normal calibration to a standard linear response(digital).

Specific camera > standard linear > film response

Like evil_bunnY said you could do that per-camera but that's assuming the DR exceeds the DR of the film you're attempting to emulate which probably isn't the case. There's also the issue of compression in areas with a different curve; highlight response in print film is much more linear than a digital sensor and likely contains more information.

You've got some wicked (in a bad way) banding in your final image.

I assume you're referring to the gif (with all 256 colors of glory) because I don't see any in the photo itself.

My monitors are all calibrated & there's wildly obvious banding in your jpeg on the upper right on every screen I view it on

Checked on my laptop and it seemed fine. I'm thinking you're mistaking banding for the smoke texture - so here's a quick version without it:

You're mistaking banding for "texture".

Most of the time we get these nice little things called "incremental updates" and they often add small new features, but I can understand if you aren't hip to how that whole computer machine thing works.

Or did I miss the small print on LR6 where it said it was feature frozen until LR7?

I didn't realize Adobe was bound by the Computer Machine Rules. Release cycles aren't a law.

You'll never notice your color is hosed up until you print
