Benefits of DxO FilmPack

• DxO FilmPack lets you apply the colorimetric characteristics and grain of a traditional silver-based film to any digital image, wherever it originates from.
  
• In this way, DxO FilmPack offers you the chance to match digital images into a collection of earlier, traditional film images for better visual coherency.
  
• And it lets you experiment by combining the color rendering of one film with the grain of another!

In addition, DxO FilmPack brings its own advantages too:

• Just like the image correction performed in DxO Optics Pro v4.1 on the basis of individual defect calibration for each body/lens combination, the color rendering profiles for each film have been obtained by calibration of each type of material. This analysis has made it possible to model the colorimetric response of each film.
  
• Even using JPEG images, the fidelity of these “looks” is very good, but it’s even better working from Raw images: knowing the body used (information available in the EXIF header file), DxO FilmPack can calibrate the original image precisely.
  
• A similar process was used to deal with grain: each type of grain is defined by deriving a “grain matrix” directly from the reference film, which is the applied to the digital images. So it’s a lot more than just simple, empirical modeling of the grain.

The grain can be modulated in terms of intensity (the visibility of the grain with respect to the image) and size, with settings for 35 mm, medium-, and large-format, to allow grain sizes that correspond to the standard formats in conventional photography. There’s also a manual setting available
