They discontinued the version that was a lightroom plugin. Really, those presets all suck anyway. They NEVER look like real film and usually have crappy color and gradation. I get far better results just processing my RAW files in LR with no presets or plugins. I have tried VSCO (back when it was sold as a LR plugin) and a few other film-simulation plugins. Didn't like any of them. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Like My Work on Facebook ?On 9/15/20, 6:31 PM, "LUG on behalf of Richard Man" <lug-bounces+chris=chriscrawfordphoto.com at leica-users.org on behalf of richard at richardman.photo> wrote: OK, this is the type of stubbornness that I appreciate. Background: Kodachrome, with such vibrant colors that Paul Simon even wrote a song about it. It was created by "God and Man" (Leopold Godowsky Jr. and Leopold Mannes) in the 1930s. SADLY, I did not take many Kodachrome photos myself. The process went kaput when the last lab shut down and it's not a process that people can just do at home, unlike other slide films. So when a company that sells digital presets that simulate film-look wanted to release a Kodachrome preset, they just asked people to send in their Kodachrome slides. No, wait, they spent two years painstakingly recreated the Kodachrome development process and chemicals. I APPROVE OF THIS STUBBORNNESS / FOOLISHNESS. I mean, we went to the Moon because it is not easy. https://petapixel.com/2020/09/15/vsco-went-full-macgyver-to-create-an-authentic-kodachome-film-simulation -- "Some People Drive, We Are Driven" https://richardman.photo _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
