Analog Curve Collection

アナログ Analog Curve Collection – Lightroom & Photoshop

Now Live! My latest creative toolkit, built from the foundation of real film scans from a grey scale, designed to shape the contrast, tone, and color depth of Film at the most fundamental level, the curve.

In addition to the film-inspired curves, I’ve also studied the tonal shaping used in modern cinema and high-end fashion work! blending ARRI-style highlight rolloff, editorial contrast, and refined skin separation into each curve for a timeless yet contemporary look

Why I Created This Collection

After years of refining my film-based workflows, I realised that every timeless film image whether shot on Kodak or Fujifilm, starts with the curve. It defines how your highlights roll off, how your mids breathe, and how your shadows carry depth.

The Kodak and Fujifilm inspired Curves has been tuned by eye and color matching tools across real film scans to achieve balanced contrast, cinematic latitude, and skin tones that stay natural in every light.

Where my Presets define the overall film palette, these Analog Curves refine the underlying tonality, giving you the perfect starting point for color grading, retouching, or building your own custom looks.

Analog Curve Timeline

⚙️ Important Note:

Film has character and so do these curves. Exposure, lighting, and white balance will influence the final result.
Each curve has been carefully designed to emulate analog behaviour digitally, but the beauty of film lies in its imperfections.

These curves will influence exposure, contrast, and white balance.
After applying, make adjustments to these sliders to achieve the perfect balance for your image. In short reduce contrast in the tonal adjustments, and use the curves to add the contrast back in, then adjust exposure and white-balance to suite
