Todd. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort in putting together this video. Tremendously informative, especially as there is so little out there on RNI and Capture One. Also grateful that you included the original raw file comparison. Thanks again 👍🏻
You can get profiles for free. You can also get styles for negative film buried inside the installation folders in capture 1. There are some film emulations as well. I use the portra sometimes.
Hey Todd, let me just say that this is the first time I’ve stumbled upon your channel and I really, really enjoyed listening to what you had to say on this (and I’m intrigued to check out your other videos). So thank so, and please don’t be so modest or doubt yourself - this video did not go on for too long; more fool anyone with too short an attention span these days! However, when you said (something like) ‘at the end I’d the day there just isn’t any substitute for real film, right?’ and then, like so many people, romanticised about the days of film - let me say that, I’m guessing we’re a similar age, but I shot film and slide from about the age of 8-9 and I’m now in my late 40’s. Whilst I truly LOVE the look of analog film, and even used to like spending long hours in a darkroom up to my elbows in chemicals, I wouldn’t give up digital photography if you paid me every penny you had. As a kid, it meant I had zero idea of if or when I’d made a mistake when shooting, and I was always at the mercy of whichever moron was processing my tiny little prints at the local store (cause that’s all I could afford!). Some good images came out awful, and some ordinary images (occasionally) came out amazing, and you were left scratching your head wondering why, or how to repeat it. Slide film was an improvement (but expensive and very unforgiving of exposure mistakes). Goodness knows what breathing in nasty chemical fumes did to my lungs, but I could spend 8 hours in cramped, dark conditions, and be lucky if I came out with 2 or 3 prints I was happy with! (Sure I was very picky). Being able to sit comfortably in front of a computer, or just stop to answer the phone was like ‘magic’ compared to a darkroom work when digital came along, and my learning curve accelerated more in the first 5 years of digital than in the previous 20 of analog, simply because of the seemingly magic "instant feedback" that tiny little LCD screen on my camera gave me! Now we have 100meg sensors on relatively affordable cameras that are WAY, WAY better than the resolution you could get from film (without going to 8x10" large format field cameras). As humans we’re all prone to nostalgia, me included, and I too will make some of my digital images have the gorgeous look of analog (especially Kodak Porta 160 or 800) but you’ll never find me complaining that they don’t look as good as "the real thing" or going back to shooting film stock (if you can find what you want any more). That’s just for cool kids who feel they need to be ‘different’! Sorry for the long rant, but hope you kinda enjoyed the trip down memory lane about the reality of the "good old days" of film 😉
Portra is more popular than ever..that's kinda what happens when it is one of the only film stocks left on the shelf. It seems everytime someone says film is not dead..the following week another one is discontinued.
After i start watching you m50 videos. I though this guy is a master. So any time pops the notification I go straight to it . I want to say that I really appreciate you hard work.
wow - kick ass stuff here! super thorough. i've recently switched from lightroom to capture one and while it's helped me develop my own personal style and editing workflow tremendously, I was missing my old VSCO film packs and building styles from them. This is awesome. thanks for the vid :)
Thanks Todd, great video. Could you do a follow-up on what film emulations go better with different photo genre. For example, portraits, street photography, landscape etc. Thank you
8:32 The worst habit, I do it all the time too. Cameras should all have a customizable screen/EVF-only zoom that makes you think you are standing a little closer than you are to make you back off, while leaving the recorded data un-zoomed.
I’d say so. I’ve been a film shooter all my life until recently and the film emulations do a great job. The straight out the camera colours are too “digital” for me to like the image.
Hi Todd, I really appreciate this video! I demo'd the RNI profiles for LR and those were great. Unfortunately, the RNI demo for C1 includes fewer profiles, and I was hesitant on purchasing since the profiles in the C1 demo didn't seem as 'nice' as the LR version.
They're similar in my tests, but yes, the Profiles in Lightroom are more elegant because Adobe built out a more sophisticated back-end for developers to tap into. Hoping Capture One can follow suit in the future.
I watched your videos on the RNI styles and presets . I ordered the demos and followed the instructions. Every time I try to use any of the RNI styles or presets the Captures One immediately shuts down. Not user friendly for Capture One users!
I can see an afternoon disappearing after loading those.... and night.

Hi Todd, thanks for the demo. I bought these styles but it has not worked for me. In the folder that I downloaded comes the .costyle and .icc files when I import the styles it tells me that the .icc files are lost, could you help me how did you install it on your computer? I have written to RNI and Capture One by email and have not received a response. Thanks
I got this when it first came out for capture one. Its great but I find when the highlights are blown out it gives them this weird effect..Making it 10x more noticable. Usually you can just bring the highlights down further but sometimes it is hard to completely save them. I have an example image if anyone else has a similar issue. Maybe theres a fix to it? Great video though man.
They especially state this for the Cap1 version. You just have to work on the highlights before you apply the preset, I guess. How you like it for Cap1? I just got it for lightroom so i am now editing with cap1 and apply RNI to tiffs...
@@JLeoH Ohh ok thanks for the info man. And I actually really like it. Im just more careful when shooting making sure my highlights are ok. They have some great profiles. I have the lite version. I had the demo for lightroom but I just prefer capture one.
You should always strive to get your exposure correct in camera without clipping the blacks or whites. Additionally, it's good practice before applying a preset (or style in C1) to make any necessary exposure / white balance adjustments first to "correct" the image beforehand. This will create a better baseline.
This was perfect timing. I’ve used The Archetype Profiles in Lightroom and they are very good. He is building a Capture 1 set, due in March. My question is have you tried those in LR and if so what are your comparisons between TAP and these? Also how do you feel they work on skin tones? I did download the trial version but just looking for other opinions, especially given you have the whole set! TIA
Apologies if you've answered this somewhere before, but what are your thoughts on RNI vs Mastin Labs? I know you mentioned Mastin Labs in one of your other videos and I'm curious to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
Hey Todd! Thanks for sharing. Really good looking stuff with the presets. Tried the demo and followed instructions but still the profiles aren't doing anything else than raising shadows. Something I'm doing wrong?
Do you have to use the presets in editing software? Will they work with smartphone photo gallery editing when they photos imported form a DSLR or Mirrorless cameras?
Not at all! You can absolutely edit images yourself, and should actually learn how if you're interested in processing your own images. Presets and Styles like these are helpful when you just want a particular look quickly. Otherwise, as they say, the world's your oyster!
Do you mean import presets made with something other than Capture One? If so I don’t believe that’s possible. You’d need to create the preset using Capture One.
A lot of the chemicals needed to produce film is actually rather terrible for the environment and is increasingly difficult to find as less and less chemical companies are willing to deal with making them and cleaning up the by products, especially seeing as the demand for film is pretty much dead and film production was one of the only things keeping these chemicals in demand.
Video is good. RNI presets are lame. Don’t waste money on it as it won’t help you to mimic film unless you have decent experience with film and know exactly how particular scene might look in particular film stock. But then you don’t need presets in the first place.
I cant wait for RNI to come out with video editing presets/luts
Echoing other viewers - thank you so much for such helpful info, Todd. (Have taken the plunge with RNI, 🙂.)

I realize it's kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good site to watch new movies online?

Wow !! Take my money now !!
Hey, Where do I find the RNI Toolkit with the film grain in adobe lightroom. Love the videos! Just got the RNI 5 for lightroom. Subscribed!
Hello!
What is your feedback about all films 5?
Did you get the lite or pro?
I’m looking forward to buy it!
I know this is a cringe question but do you prefer the colors of these presets better or the digital straight out of camera look?
I’d say so. I’ve been a film shooter all my life until recently and the film emulations do a great job. The straight out the camera colours are too “digital” for me to like the image.
Great video!!!

Can you make a review video for the cinematic pictures and the Visual effects for this movie.

Apologies if you've answered this somewhere before, but what are your thoughts on RNI vs Mastin Labs? I know you mentioned Mastin Labs in one of your other videos and I'm curious to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
Will you have support for Davinci Resolve for video?
Hey Todd! Thanks for sharing. Really good looking stuff with the presets. Tried the demo and followed instructions but still the profiles aren't doing anything else than raising shadows. Something I'm doing wrong?
"But you'll need to manually set your Fujifilm RAW curve to "Film Standard" prior to applying a style. Otherwise the style will take no effect."
@@sonofnothing thanks but that is what I did before applying. Could only see little to none effect.
Do you have to use the presets in editing software? Will they work with smartphone photo gallery editing when they photos imported form a DSLR or Mirrorless cameras?
Not at all! You can absolutely edit images yourself, and should actually learn how if you're interested in processing your own images. Presets and Styles like these are helpful when you just want a particular look quickly. Otherwise, as they say, the world's your oyster!
Needs more Kodachrome. ;-)
Can you apply it well in Leica M10?
I’m curious as well
can you import your own film simulation presets in capture one (such as kodak ektar)
Do you mean import presets made with something other than Capture One? If so I don’t believe that’s possible. You’d need to create the preset using Capture One.
@@dominey preset from fuji weekly for instance

Well yeah you could just use the film but I wouldn't mind having something sorta close
They are not lame
while these styles are super on point, i just dont see myself spending 200$ on it, yet :D
Sure, but will be spending far more if shooting real film.
