Workflow Question LR/ACR/PS
The workflow took a bit of getting used to. It’s very different from most workflows that I’ve worked with. One thing that really threw me is that the settings on the right-hand side affect every film profile the same, and when opening Dehancer, those settings remain as they were the last time Dehancer was used.
For example, I do the required export settings for ACR (exposure -1, contrast -40, blacks +60) and export to Dehancer.
I start by choosing a film profile, but they all look pretty much as flat as the original.
Then I go to the presets and choose Cinestill 50, and it looks amazing.
When I go back to film profiles, the preset for Cinestill 50 remains unchanged, regardless of what film profile I choose. This was counterintuitive to me as the FilmSim programs I worked with previously, the settings changed with whatever film profile I chose.
I’m curious how others work, do you start with a film profile and modify it then look apply other profiles to see how different film stock changes the look? Or do you find a preset that gets you close and modify it?
