General Discussion

One of the main things I do is using the White Balance Setter in my Sony Cameras that gives me the "best white balance" taking a sample of the whitiest color in the scene. But with films simulations that can be challenging considering the Color Phase and all the specific settings each profile has. B

Hi everyone! It’s been a depressing few weeks weather wise where I live. It’s always cloudy and there’s pretty much no shadows or colors, and it hasn’t even rained so I can’t have fun with that either. I shot a bunch of stuff in B&W but it has become kind of dull, so I wanted to ask what are some si

Has anyone experienced a bug in the Sony ZV-1 (may be others) where when switching between MR settings with different colour filter settings, they don't actually apply until you go in and change the setting, then you suddenly see the change. Real shame in an otherwise excellent workflow for using th

I'm primarily trying out Kodachromes and Kodak Portra 400. I'm comparing it to my Fuji XT-5's Portra 400 and the color values seem very off on the Sony in regards to A7-M1. If I go to A7-G1 it matches correctly, but if I stick to A7-M1 is way too Magenta which makes sense where it's skewing on the c

I went out on weekend and tried several film simulation in Guangzhou. Finding that the proposed Sony classic negative is quit suitble for the old community, which adds some orange to the buildings, and makes the green looks warmer. The SOOC jpgs look retro, I like it a lot. The camera is Sony A6400

Sharing this and hoping to get some feedback on setting up PPs. I love the idea setting up different film simulations on my Sony as I've envied my Fujifilm friends for years! And when I subscribed to these PP recipes I thought I'd be shooting a different film simulation every day. Here's my issue

I love the look of Portra 400. It's my go to for film and I use a Portra 400 recipe with my Fuji as well as edit RAW with RNI and JC Porta 400. All of those look simular but the Portra for the Sony is nowhere near what I get with Portra. It's a bit too warm and saturated. thoughts?

Hello ! I've been getting trouble with Banding and weird noise in my shadows with different plattaforms. (Especially Instagram) If I export, mostly seems fine in my computer. But I don't know how to avoid the banding on this platafform. In other videos I always look the shadows clean. Here some pi

Hi there, thanks for your skill & lesson in getting the best out of Sony cams, the dream neg profile has a **** load of noise, is that normal & also I do notice there being a little noise in others. Is this the desired look? If so it feels kind of a messy grain on not filmic so much, is there somet

Taking the updated Kodak UltraMax 400 for a spin. So far i've been loving this one and look forward to experiment with Porta 160/400/800 and possbily Classic Chrome! Veres is very helpful in helping me correct my camera settings after sending him a couple of sample photos!

Remember you can send over your images or use #sonyfilmsimulation to be featured on the Instagram Page. Preferably no edit shots to showcase the image you can get straight out of camera without any editing. Exposure adjustments are allowed. Always psyched to see your shots :D https://www.instagram.

So first off, important context - I'm using these awesome film sims exactly as I do on Fuji, for no-edit JPEG shooting. This is mostly irrelevant for video shooting that's still going to be graded afterward. With that in mind... I have a question on the logic behind the knee settings. I've noticed

I started creating short form tutorials for Sony film simulations to explain the basic workflow of these film simulations and make it easier to understand the basics of Sony's picture profiles. Check out the playlist, leave a comment if you have more questions, I'll keep on updating it with new vid

Hi there everyone! I am currently using the 8 free film simulations to figure out if i would like to then further purchase the PDF version, however I am trying to figure out how to use these film simulations. The webpage states that "for photos, the effects are baked into JPEGs, while RAW files req

Hi, all. Thanks Alex for this exciting initiative. I am vary happy for this additional dimension the film simulations add to my photography hobby. One of my frustrations was the inability to save more then one WB setting per Memory Recall setting. After some thought I found a way to use the 3 slot

Hello everyone, Is someone who makes animal portraits here, especially dog ​​shoots? If so, what recipes do you use? I am currently very overwhelmed by the many options and are looking for an approach ..... What do you use for animal shootings or what would you recommend? At this point a very big th

First of all, thank you so much for your commendable work in putting together these custom picture profiles. I can not imagine what extent of meticulous work you put together to develop these recipes. I just started trying a few of them. I am speechless. I have one small request, although you have s

Hey all! Just wanted to see whats everyones favourite simulation to use as a point and shoot! Sometimes I just don't want to fiddle with the temperature and color filter settings and let the camera decide for me. Like when I'm with clients (I work recording music), family or friends. My two favouri

Hello, What is your opinion on the Film Simulations Color Filter? As the PP settings does not save Color Filter settings and has to be adjusted manually with each change. On a street photography basis where capturing photos are fast paced, changing the color filter does not seem practically easy o

I'd like some feedback from the community. There is a New version of Kodak Portra 400 Film Simulation, and I'd like to know which one you prefer. If there are any experienced Portra 400 users, I'd greatly appreciate your input and even images from you archive. Thanks!

I'm brand new to the Sony film simulations and am currently quite overwhelmed by the amount of recipes and different film simulations that have been created. If you could only choose 3 to use, which are the top 3 that I should start out with first to familiarise myself with? I would venture out afte

I recommend checking out this in depth comparison bettween Sony vs Fuji film simulations, for a better understanding of how accurate are these sony picture profiles and to understand why the color settings are crucial in replicating any kind of look. https://www.veresdenialex.com/post/fujifilm-v

Maybe we could create a Flickr Group to showcase photos using @Veres Deni Alex - Color Grading's Sony Film Simulation profiles? I'm sure there are so many of these simulations but hard to choose without more photo examples. (I primarily use these simulations for stills and not video). We can upload

Here are a couple JPEGs from my last mountain trip, all shot on Oktarr Sony Film Simulation Picture Profile This one was shot purposefully at higher kelvin for the Dramatique Effect Morning Shot Looks pretty cool out of camera What do you think about this new Sony Film
