Thanks for mentioning my work this week! It certainly is all about the process, and having that process in mind from when I first click the shutter to when I hang up the final print. I’m also a firm believer in the fact that all photo printing (from the wet darkroom to high-end inkjet to the cheapest of laser printers) works on the same principals and the skills learned perfecting one method are easily transferred to any other method with practice. Print on what you have and learn it’s strengths!

Still searching for that elusive Kodachrome preset, but then it would need to incorporate different color casts for the highlights and shadows...such a difficult film to scan well

I was one of the only people I knew (at the time) who's favorite film was PKL (Kodachrome 200 professional) ESPECIALLY in 35mm, it had a beautiful grain and in my opinion more beautiful than scotch chrome 1000

I remember that film. I think I first used it in 1988. Very grainy. My favorite was Kodachrome 25. Perfect for bright summer vacations although you had to have a steady hand as shutter speeds needed to be slow. 64 was great too.

DxO FilmPack is my preferred software for achieving a classic, vintage look in my photos. I love recreating nostalgic film effects, from grainy black and white to vibrant Kodachrome colors. This software offers a variety of presets and customization options that allow me to easily transform my images into timeless art pieces. DxO FilmPack enhances my creative vision and adds unique charm to my portfolio. It's an excellent choice for anyone who appreciates film photography aesthetics and wants to infuse their digital photos with nostalgia. Try it out to bring the magic of past film effects to your images!

I own it, not great at matching results of color film shot side by side. Not bad grain simulation though.

I appreciate your comments very much and I have learned much from them. However, I am a landscape guy, and an amateur. Your comments on paper choice resonate the most with me. It is not your fault, but I tend to gloss over your portrait comments.

Still, keep it up! I continue to subscribe.
