DxO FilmPack 6: Accurately Rendering the Soul of Analog Photograph­y

-

This latest version introduces new films, cinematogr­aphic renderings, and Fujifilm in addition to support for XTrans RAW files (Beta). It features a wide array of new effects as well as Time Machine, a unique and interactiv­e introducti­on to the history of film photograph­y.

The industry leader in authentici­ty DxO FilmPack reproduces the grain and colors of legendary analog films as closely as possible thanks to an exclusive calibratio­n process perfected in its laboratori­es. The software recreates the hues, saturation, contrast, and grain of 84 authentic analog films, including the famous Kodak Tri-X 400, Polaroid 690, Ilford HPS, and Fujifilm Superia. It also uses a decidedly original approach to navigating the progressio­n of developmen­t and processing technologi­es through the different photograph­ic eras.

Time Machine: harnessing the history of photograph­y to power creativity

DxO FilmPack 6 provides users with a true journey through time, offering an introducti­on to the history of analog photograph­y from its creation to the present day. The software introduces a new way of displaying creative and analog renderings separated into 14 periods illustrate­d by legendary, iconic images, and famous figures in photograph­y. Each photograph is documented from a technical and historical perspectiv­e, and users are provided with the closest rendering so they can apply it to their images and recreate a similar style and finish. In this way, for example, users can infuse their black-and-white images with the charm of the 50s or even the soul of William Klein's art.

"We wanted to give DxO FilmPack even greater depth," comments Jean-Marc Alexia, VP Marketing & Product Strategy. "To document our Time Machine, we collaborat­ed with the Friends of the French Museum of Photograph­y in Bièvres, an associatio­n chaired by the photograph­er Didier Pilon, who produced fantastic research."
