Film Simulation Presets — On Any Photo

Want a slide, negative or cinema film look but don't shoot film? Apply original film-emulation presets to photos from any camera, right in your browser.

The looks

Reversal Vivid (punchy slide) · Reversal Natural (balanced slide) · Portrait Slide (soft skin) · Muted Chrome (desaturated documentary) · Color Negative & Pro Negative (warm, skin-friendly) · Nostalgic Amber · Cine Flat (cinematic, low contrast) · Bleach (high-contrast desaturated) · Cross Process · Vintage Chrome · Mono Film(black & white).

These are original recipes built from tone curves, per-channel R/G/B curves, HSL, color grading and grain — not copied color profiles — so they are clean to ship and you can push or dial back any part.

How to apply a film look

  1. Open OpticRaw and drop in any photo — JPEG, HEIC or RAW.
  2. Open the Presets panel and hover the Film Stock group for a live preview.
  3. Click to apply the look.
  4. Fine-tune with tone curve, HSL or grading — then export.

Frequently asked questions

Do these film looks work on photos from any camera?

Yes. The presets are built from tone curves, HSL, color grading and grain, so they apply to JPEG, HEIC and RAW files from Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm or any other camera.

Which film looks are included?

Twelve original stocks: Reversal Vivid, Reversal Natural, Portrait Slide, Muted Chrome, Color Negative, Pro Negative, Nostalgic Amber, Cine Flat, Bleach, Cross Process, Vintage Chrome and Mono Film.

Are these copied from any brand’s profiles?

No. Every look is an original recipe made from the editor’s own controls — no third-party LUTs or color-profile data. That keeps them clean to ship and free to tweak.

Can I still edit after applying a film look?

Yes. A preset just sets the develop controls — tone curve, HSL and color grading — so you can adjust anything on top afterwards.

Can I import my own LUTs?

Yes — .cube LUT files can be imported as presets, alongside Lightroom .xmp presets.
