LUMA FILM SIMULATION REPORT

Design intent

Soft portrait negative with warm skin response, gentle highlight rolloff, and subdued greens. Designed to feel open and polished rather than punchy.

Key tuning notes

• Print layer softened contrast and added a mild warm paper bias.
• Chroma softness keeps colour edges from reading digitally crisp.
• Grain stays restrained so the preset remains clean in midtones and skin.

Design intent

Warm consumer-negative look with lighter contrast, softer colour separation, and a relaxed, slightly faded print feel.

Key tuning notes

• Print strength is higher than Muse to emphasize consumer-lab softness.
• Warm palette response pushes yellows and oranges without making reds neon.
• Grain and fade are both visible so it does not overlap too closely with Honey.

Design intent

Poppier Kodak consumer colour with amber warmth, firmer contrast, and brighter yellow-red highlights than Daytrip.

Key tuning notes

• Print warmth is stronger than the rest of the Kodak negative family.
• Warm hue and saturation response are pushed harder to get the Gold-style amber bias.
• Contrast and highlight shaping are intentionally firmer so the preset has more snap than Muse.

Design intent

Clean, saturated negative with strong reds and deep blues. The goal is a polished, low-grain colour stock rather than a nostalgic print.

Key tuning notes

• Acutance is higher and chroma softness is lower than the softer negative stocks.
• Print layer is lighter so the stock keeps its cleaner, more contrasty character.
• Warm and blue sectors both get positive saturation to support Ektar-like colour pop.

Design intent

Daylight cinema-negative look with controlled warmth, moderate halation, and a cleaner cine palette than the Kodak consumer presets.

Key tuning notes

• Halation is present but restrained so highlights bloom without swallowing edges.
• Print layer stays modest and neutral-warm to keep the preset readable in daylight scenes.
• Grain is more active than Kodak still negative stocks, but less aggressive than Neon.

Design intent

Tungsten-balanced cine look with cooler shadows, warm practical highlights, stronger red halation, and visibly rougher grain.

Key tuning notes

• Halation amount, radius, and warmth are all elevated to separate it from Solar.
• Blue sector response is pushed cooler and more saturated for the signature tungsten bias.
• Print contrast is positive so the scene keeps energy even with strong halation and grain.

Design intent

Pastel Fuji negative with cooler greens, open mids, and softer contrast than Kodak portrait stocks.

Key tuning notes

• Print layer slightly cools and fades the frame to preserve the airy Pro 400H feel.
• Green luminance is lifted so foliage stays bright without becoming dense or muddy.
• Texture remains soft; this preset should feel smooth before it feels sharp.

Design intent

Cooler Fuji consumer colour with punchier greens and stronger colour contrast than Sage, while staying less amber than Kodak Gold.

Key tuning notes

• Green and blue palette sectors are more assertive than the rest of the Fuji group.
• Print layer adds only a small fade so the preset stays lively and retail-film-like.
• Grain and acutance are both stronger than Sage to keep the look more casual and energetic.

Design intent

Balanced slide-film treatment with clean contrast and moderate saturation. Intended as the neutral chrome counterpart to Lush.

Key tuning notes

• Print layer is intentionally light so the chrome character remains intact.
• Acutance is elevated to keep edges and fine detail crisp.
• Color response is tuned to stay believable in blues and cyans without crossing into Velvia intensity.

Design intent

High-impact slide look with deep blues, dense greens, and harder contrast. This is the most vivid colour preset in the set.

Key tuning notes

• Print layer is barely present so the stock keeps its chrome punch.
• Acutance is the highest in the film pack to support a sharper transparency feel.
• Green and blue sector saturation are both deliberately strong to create the Velvia signature.

Design intent

Open, fine-grain monochrome preset with gentler contrast and more highlight room than the other black-and-white stocks.

Key tuning notes

• Monochrome channel mix favors green slightly to keep foliage and skin open.
• Print contrast is negative and print fade is positive to avoid an overly hard scan look.
• Grain is deliberately small and calm so the preset stays clean at normal viewing sizes.

Design intent

Classic medium-speed Ilford black-and-white look with fuller blacks and more grit than Silver, but less bite than Grit.

Key tuning notes

• Monochrome mix adds red and subtracts blue to create a slightly stronger tonal translation than Silver.
• Print layer adds a touch of contrast without making highlights brittle.
• Grain roughness increases enough to separate it from FP4 while remaining manageable.

Design intent

Harder-edged Kodak black-and-white preset with deeper blacks, stronger print contrast, and a tougher tonal curve.

Key tuning notes

• Monochrome mix leans red and pulls blue down harder than the Ilford presets.
• Print contrast is the strongest among the monochrome group, with very little fade.
• Grain is rougher and more visible so the preset does not read as a clean studio black-and-white conversion.

Design intent

High-speed monochrome preset with lifted lower mids, strong grain, and a softer shoulder than Grit so it can still breathe in highlights.

Key tuning notes

• Grain amount, size, and roughness are the highest in the monochrome group.
• Print fade is slightly higher than Noir or Grit to keep the preset from looking simply crushed.
• The monochrome mix stays assertive but not as hard as Tri-X, which helps preserve the rough high-speed character.
