DNF01 official site / FILM LOOK
What is a film look?
A film look brings film-inspired color, highlight glow and grain to a digital photograph. Explore those choices through photographs finished with DNF01.
Light that lingers.
Bright signs, deep shadows, and the light between them.
Color in the shadows.
A warm sign and green-toned shadows. Colors in conversation.
Texture in the everyday.
Hard sunlight and faded red. A film look in daylight, too.
A film look, explored digitally.
Every photograph on this page was finished with DNF01. Compare the color around highlights in daylight with the glow and shadow color in the night scenes. DNF01 treats a film look as a set of choices made for each photograph, rather than one fixed color setting.
Start with a RAW photograph
DNF01 develops RAW files on its own and edits JPEGs. Choose a Film Look, switch between Daylight and Night, or blend up to four looks. Shape halation, bloom and grain before exporting. Lightroom users can keep their existing library and work alongside it: DNF01 can list Lightroom catalogs, with read-only catalog access.
Looking for film presets?
DNF01 is film emulation and RAW development software in progress, not a preset pack. Presets are not yet sold or distributed. A before-and-after comparison is on the home page.
About film brands
Interested in the color of CineStill 800T or Kodak VISION3 500T? These DNF01 photographs are here as a study of light and color. DNF01 keeps its own LOOK names. The results do not demonstrate a match to a particular film or imply approval or affiliation with those brands.
