Same rings true when shooting film.Īlso, if you are struggling in matching your scans or want to learn more about film, I offer Skype mentor sessions, which you can apply for here. Hopefully this has helped you to visualize the differences between the Portra and Fuji presets and why I highly encourage and feel like there is a place for both when editing. Honestly I think you could go either Portra 400 or Portra 800 in this picture based on preference.

IMHO, they are a tad warmer and pop more with the Portra 800. Look closely at the brides lips and pink flowers. The other is that the magentas were a little too dull in my opinion on the Portra 400.

The main reason why I chose Portra 800, was because I just couldn't get the skin tone to the warmth I wanted with Portra 400. The differences here in why I ultimately chose Portra 800 are alot harder to see right off the bat. In this shot, I immediately went to the Portra presets over the Fuji 400H for the same reasons as I mentioned above in the shot where I preferred the Portra 400. Note: These opinions are based on personal preference and what I find most accurate when matching films scans. Each one shows, when each preset is preferred based on the light scenario and/or time of day. To help visualize when I use which presets based on the lighting, I have three examples below. My answer? YES! Why? Well in my experience, based on the type of light I am given, I will edit with difference presets to get the look I am shooting for, which also applies to what film I am shooting. Once his Fuji 400H film preset was released, a slew of questions concerning what the differences were between the Fuji and Portra starting pouring in and whether it was worth it to get both.

I would like to also mention that prior to the Fuji 400H preset release, he was already wooing photographers with his Portra pack of presets, which emulates the other popular film stocks, Portra 160, Portra 400, and Portra 800. Recently, the great mastermind behind Mastin Labs, Kirk Mastin, came out with the highly anticipated present that emulates one of the most popular and loved film stocks, Fuji 400H. But there are certain situations where digital definitely comes in handy, like fast moving children, low lighting, and lets be honest here, film is expensive. But when I do shoot digital, I want to it look as much like film as possible and they way I achieve that is by editing with the hands down BEST film emulation presets out there, Mastin Labs.
