Film Stocks is a unique node that simulates 294 different color and black and white still photographic film stocks, motion picture films stocks and historical photographic processes.

Film Lab.

To select a preset, choose one from the Presets tab. If you would like to view presets from a different category, use the pop-up menu at the top left of the Presets tab.

Sets the amount of the selected preset.

Red, Green and Blue controls allow you to determine the contribution of each color channel in the black and white conversion.

Enables the Black and White conversion.

Sets the amount of the red channel that contributes to the black and white conversion.

Sets the amount of the green channel that contributes to the black and white conversion.

Sets the amount of the blue channel that contributes to the black and white conversion.

To mimic the characteristics of a particular film stock, a combination of settings for the RGB channels have been set.

Controls the RGB film response curve. If you are using a black and white preset, the grayscale film response curve will be adjusted.

Controls the Red film response curve.

Controls the Green film response curve.

Controls the Blue film response curve.

Color Correct manipulates the Temperature, Cyan/Magenta, Brightness, Contrast, Shadow, Midtone, Highlight, and Saturation values of the image. Go to the Color Correct node to see how it works.

Adds a color filter to the image.

Select one of the filters from the pop-up list.

Sets the color through the use of a standard color picker.

Sets the opacity of the color filter.

Preserves the white areas of the image.

Determines how much contrast is added at the edges.

Controls the size of the edges you wish to sharpen.

The threshold setting is used to sharpen more pronounced edges, while leaving more subtle edges untouched. Low values sharpen more image areas while higher threshold values sharpen less.

Determines the blend mode to be used to create the diffusion/glow effect.

The diffusion/glow is added to your image.

The diffusion is mixed with the original image. In this mode, Amount only shows changes up to a value of 100.

The diffusion/glow is combined with the image using a Screen blend mode. This looks kind of like the Add blend mode, but highlights are retained.

Sets the amount of diffusion.

Sets the softness of the image.

The Color parameter sets the color of the diffusion/glow through the use of a standard color picker or eyedropper. The default color is white.

When using the Add and Screen blend modes, Position selects the values used to create the glow effect. A higher Position value uses the brightest image values to create the glow. A lower Position value uses the darkest image values to create the glow.

When using the Add and Screen blend modes, Range controls the range of values to be used for the glow. Once you’ve selected the “Position”, you can then add or subtract the “Range” of values to be used in the glow source. A higher Range value includes more values in the glow source while a lower Range value includes less values.

A vignette is a popular photographic effect where the photo gradually fades into a color. Go to the Vignette node to see how it works.

Grain simulates film grain with control of the size, softness and intensity. In addition, a Film Response parameter controls where you will see grain in the image. Go to the Grain node to see how it works.
