I find the now-included Bokeh module quite useful as an alternative to vignetting, so basically a way of drawing attention to a part of your image. This makes for a more realistic film grain where it’s more pronounced in the mid-tones. Other film emulations just seem to indiscriminately pepper it across your image, whilst here you actually see it adapt to changes in the global settings here.

Although their border collection is large, I’m still missing some basics like a simple white or black square, although you can now import your own.Īnother improvement I really like is that it now renders grain accurately across the full dynamic range of your image, a feature I have not seen anywhere else. I’m not as fond of their Black & White emulations, but that might be a personal preference as I like a more modern approach to B&W conversion. I also love the fact that Dust and Scratches can be applied while still looking realistic, and it’s my go-to app when I want to make an image realistically look old and deteriorated. The external editor approach does offer advanced functionality and tweak-ability which you won’t find in the Lightroom preset variety.Įxposure 6 has some of the best colour film simulations out there, and I’m thinking especially of the Polaroid and Vintage film presets. You might find that’s it’s easier to use VSCO and RNI film packs, as they come as presets in Lightroom, while you’ll have to export your images to use the Exposure emulations. I’ve tried most film emulation software, and they all seem to offer something different.

You can now tweak basic settings here, something that you had to do in Lightroom first before exporting in previous versions. The basic tab is a new feature, allowing for more independent use of the software. The right-hand tab gives you total control over all the modules used in the presets, and you’ll be able to add unused modules too. These are significant improvements over Exposure 5, and helps with a faster workflow. Once you open up any of the preset folders, previews will start generating. You can also find Tabs per category, which makes for a less cluttered preset browsing experience. There is now a redesigned search function that works very well, always handy if you know the type of film you’re after. Preset TabĮxposure 6 has some of the best presets, and most users use them as a starting point. In Exposure 6, you can quickly drag and resize all tabs to get the experience that suits you. The image you’re working on is displayed in the centre, presets on the left and other control tabs on the right. LayoutĪll software editing and effects suites look quite similar.
