Your photographs,
on film.
The same physically simulated film as the Resolve plugin, for still photographs. Open a RAW file, choose a stock and a format, and it is exposed, developed and printed, crystal by crystal. No presets, no LUTs.
The original, then on film
Every image here is rendered by Emulsion Photo's own engine: metered for the shadows, exposed onto the stock, developed and printed.
35 mm to 4×5
Choose the camera's format and the film is that size: a 6×7 negative is enlarged far less than 35 mm for the same print, so its grain is finer. The same face, the same stock, enlarged 2×.
From RAW to print
- RAW in, as lightRAW files from almost every camera are read as the light that reached the sensor, with nothing baked in. TIFF, JPEG and HEIC work too.
- Metered like filmExposed for the shadows, the way negative film is shot, with your shutter speed driving long-exposure behaviour.
- Your film, your format50 colour, slide, black-and-white and cinema stocks from the manufacturers' data, on 35 mm, medium format or sheet film.
- DevelopedPush, pull, bleach bypass, halation, the lens you choose, and every control the Resolve plugin has.
- PrintedCinema prints from contrasty to soft, a wide-latitude print for your own edit, slides as projected, or the negative itself.
