The Film Conversions Portra 400
The Film Conversions were designed for photographers that love shooting film and want to keep as much of that experience and workflow as possible, but also have a little more flexibility with saving some money, being able to “change” the film stock they initially shot and even with that film stock “change” having it be to a film that is no longer around. Simply put, these convert the look from one film to another.
Save money, have more flexibility, and customize the look AFTER the film has been shot, processed, and scanned….that’s what The Film Conversions allow film photographers to do.
Portra 400/Ektacolor Pro 400 is one of the most consistent professional films available and because of that is an excellent candidate for The Film Conversions. Exposing Portra 400/Ekatcolor Pro 400 at -1, 0, or +1 EV provides an almost identical output making the conversions extremely accurate when shot in that flexible range.
In summary, shoot film, save money shooting film, have more options when shooting film...I think that's called breaking The Iron Triangle.
**The Film Conversions were created to be used on JPEG & TIFF scans from a Frontier or Noritsu scanner. They DO NOT look right on digitally captured images and DO NOT WORK ON RAW FILES in Lightroom, Lightroom Classic and Adobe Camera Raw.**

Access The Green Pack for Capture One here:
The profiles for Lightroom and Capture One were built using the same film scans but there are differences in how the profiles are applied between the two programs.
One important difference is that Capture One does not allow the Layer Opacity to be adjusted on the ICC Profiles that TAP profiles use. This means that the profiles are applied at their full amount and cannot be reduced.
Lightroom allows the profile to be adjusted using the profile amount slider and can be reduced or increased.
