Custom Vintage Film Recipes & Analog Effects
Build bespoke analog aesthetics from authentic film stock foundations. Control color channels, optical halation, split-toning, and grain density — then share via QR recipe cards.
How a Film Recipe is Crafted
Every custom recipe starts from a foundational film stock profile and allows meticulous shaping across five dedicated parameter decks.
Light & Tone
Micro-tune dynamic range curves without destroying highlight detail:
- Exposure & Contrast: Overall scene luminance and midtone separation.
- Highlights & Shadows: Tame harsh sun roll-off or lift shadow detail.
- Whites & Blacks: Set the exact analog black floor and paper white ceiling.
Color & Atmosphere
Replicate ambient laboratory chemical balances:
- Temperature & Tint: Warm amber glow or cool twilight balancing.
- Vibrance & Saturation: Selective chromatic richness preserving skin tones.
- Split-Toning: Independent hue and saturation for highlights and shadows.
8-Channel HSL Mixer
Targeted color transformations per spectral channel:
- 8 Isolated Channels: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple, Magenta.
- Independent Controls: Shift Hue, Saturation, and Luminance individually.
- Skin Tone Engine: Protects natural peachy complexion while stylizing backgrounds.
Optical Textures & Halation
Recreate the physical physics of 35mm celluloid:
- Film Grain: Procedural non-linear grain scaled to ISO density.
- Halation (Crimson / Amber / Silver): Red-orange glow around bright light sources.
- Bloom & Fade: Optical softness and vintage lifted matte black fogging.
- Vignette & Light Leaks: Lens fall-off shading and realistic edge flares.
