[Leica] Kodachrome is back...

[Christopher Crawford]

Problem is VSCO only sells their presets for mobile devices now. 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.

    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.
