After spending quite some time with the RNI presets in Adobe Lightroom I have to say that it is really possible to pleasingly emulate the vintage look of color and black and white film with this tool. Surely, film emulation presets are not for every photographer and I am convinced that neither product can compete with the pleasure of shooting real analog film, but there are tools available which can help us to make a digital file look more natural or maybe a bit analog. The traditional medium for photography never really lost its appeal, we could even say that the appeal of analog film still supersedes the look of a digital capture.

But in the end, it was even more, I was quite impressed by the quality and potential of these film simulation presets.

When the London based art & technology company RNI, which stands for “Really Nice Images”, asked me if I want to check out their freshly released RNI All Films 5 presets, I knew already that it would be at least interesting and enjoyable to do so. I consider a preset a starting point, a small push into the right direction and a baseline for a cohesive look when editing a series of images. Basically I am very restrictive with presets for two reasons: First, I don‘t want to copy another photographers work and second, often presets are very unprecise and don‘t work the way I want. Is buying a set of film presets worth the money and will it improve your images? A question raised many times and just recently it became a topic again on social media.
