Professional and amateur photographers alike will appreciate the clean, easy to use interface. It’s clear that the goal of Filmborn isn’t to just create a way for digital to simply “look like film” but rather seamlessly blend the world of film and digital together and encourage more people to shoot real film in the process.

The detailed section explaining how to shoot film delves into teaching how to meter for each film stock and even where to buy and develop film. The info sheets provide useful information on the strengths and weaknesses of each film stock, best shooting conditions, and sample photographs.

The detailed specs on each film stock helps users learn more about real film and how to shoot it effectively a goal of Mastin’s. Kirstin McKee / P160Īlmost all of the film stocks are represented in the first panel – the FILM PANEL – (Fuji 160NS, Fuji 400H, Fuji 800Z, Ilford Pan-F, Ilford HP5, Ilford Delta 3200, Kodak Portra 160, Kodak Portra 400, Kodak Portra 800) with plans for future stocks to be added most likely as in-app purchases.Īn added bonus to each of the film stock presets is the information sheet which can be accessed by pressing and holding any film stock in the ‘dark room’ film panel.

If it seems like a lot to take in, it is robust, and there is a pretty detailed user manual that comes with the app it walks you through the different functions of the app and is worth the few minutes it takes to read through. You can also save a “kit” (which is an in-app purchase) to have your perfect film emulation on the go. You can even copy and paste your filmborn edits to multiple photos in your library to quickly batch edit photos.įurthermore, you can preview your film stocks, crops, preview blown highlights, use the level, manually adjust focus, and with a simple swipe adjust white balance and exposure to get the perfect “zero click” edit. The app connects to your camera’s library, so there is no need to import photos into the app. Chad Syme / PanFįilmborn allows you to either use the native camera and simply edit photos, or to use the app to its full potential, you can use the in-app camera with live film preview which increases your functionality. With Filmborn, Mastin has created an interface similar to his LR presets with many of the same functionalities. Mastin has taken this concept and applied it to the iPhone world. Unlike many other film emulation presets, the results are very accurate and most hybrid photographers are huge fans.

Mastin Presets focus on the main film stocks still readily available and often used in client work, and allows the user to “match” their digital images to their film through a series of simple steps.

I did, however, refine the way I approached light to get the best results out of them, but doing that is necessary to improve you results with anything, not just Mastin.The creators of Filmborn, Kirk Mastin and his team, are the brains behind Mastin Labs, the LR presets designed to make a hybrid photographer’s life easier. I went from using VSCO -> Mastin and didn't change the way I shoot (I shoot in Manual and Auto White Balance). Any preset is going to have it's own nuance, but the talk of having to "shoot differently" to make use of Mastin is B.S. No preset is going to give you exactly the look you want - that requires learning how to use light, choosing locations that physically have the colors you're looking for and THEN learning how to tweak the presets once they're applied after you've already taken care of the first two steps. Before buying/using presets I think you should ask yourself a few questions: 1) does it help to get me closer to the look i'm going for 2) will it speed up my workflow 3) will it improve consistency within my brand (I honestly wouldn't be concerned with trying to be different than other people or conversely, having the same look as other people). I use Mastin exclusively in my work alongside film - I would say they are definitely worth it, but what's worth it for me may not be for other people.
