If you love film I highly recommend this product. I’ve had the Mastin Labs presets for over a year and wouldn’t say I use them every day, but they are really beautiful and can be extremely helpful. Disclaimer: Like all presets you will absolutely have to tweak your white balance, exposure, contrast, etc… to get the photo just right.

I would say it doesn’t look exactly like real film, but it’s close so I’m a happy camper. Now, unless you’re shooting with actual film this look can be pretty difficult to achieve OR you can use Mastin Labs for Lightroom and ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) and it’s a breeze! Below I have a comparison of a RAW underexposed (not very pretty) image next to an image I’ve edited almost entirely in ACR with the Mastin Labs Portra 400 preset. One particular style I love is a very simple, clean, almost film-like look. Editing a photograph is simply a matter of personal preference and, despite what your art teacher told you in 9th grade, there’s no wrong way to go about it.

Yes, I’m sure that response isn’t helpful, and frankly pretty irritating, but it’s the best answer I can give without writing you a novel. I aim to reflect a consistent editing style throughout my work but, depending on what I want/need a particular batch of photos to look like, my editing process switches up here and there. The answer is: It’s different every time. Hi friends! I get a lot of questions asking how I edit my photos.
