To get a really great photo, there are so many things that have to go right.

You have to have the right equipment: the camera, the lens, the tripod, the flash…
You have to have the right circumstances: the location, the time of day, the weather…
You have to have the right settings: the composition, the shutter speed, the aperture, the ISO…

But even with all of this done right, you still won’t have a great photo if you don’t have great post-processing.

Because your clients, your followers and your friends – they only see the final result.

“I’ve been trying forever in Lightroom to get just the right look for my photos…”

Maybe you can relate to this: after spending $1,000s on a new camera, $100s on new lenses, and toiling endlessly in Lightroom, your photos are still missing something. You still aren’t getting the look you want.

I hear this a lot from photographers:

• “My photos always feel like they’re lacking something – but I don’t know what exactly”
• “I’m having a really hard time getting the colors and  tones I want in Lightroom. What am I doing wrong?”
• “I’m kind of stuck in a loop in Lightroom. I keep editing my photos again and again and I’m never really happy with them.”

The problem isn’t you (or your photos). The problem is the system. You see, the default settings in Lightroom are NOT meant to make your photos look good – they are made to make them look neutral. This is a massive departure from analog film – where each film was carefully designed to bring out the light and color of each shot in ways that were aesthetically pleasing.

“Honestly, I had no idea my photos could look this good. I’m in love with these tones.”

How much more satisfied would you be with your photos if you could get gorgeous analog tones again and again? How amazing would it be to hear clients, followers & fellow photographers praising the colors and tones of your photos?

Just imagine what you could do with your photos if you had: 

• Breathtaking skin tones
• Stylish Wedding film styles
• Gorgeous fashion photography tones, with rich, lush palettes.
• Classic landscape tones, from sun-drenched vistas to dramatic landscapes.
• Moody Street vibes, like Fuji Superia, with perfect cross-processing and fade.

Let me show you what a difference the E-Chrome presets can make on real photos:

Look at these rich, golden tones! When I first loaded this photo into Lightroom, you can see how dull and boring it looked. Not at all what I wanted! But the EX07 preset from this pack added just the right amount of warmth and vividness.

I call the EX04 preset the “Impossibly Warm & Moody” filter. There’s no better way to describe it. It makes your photos instantly look like they belong on the cover of National Geographic.

The tones from EX05 are perfect for fashion photography – look at the dramatic lushness & depth it adds to this shot!

The “EX03 – Perfect Portra” preset is a miracle for skin tones. These tones are complimented with gorgeous pastel colors, aqua blues, muted greens, and just the right amount of soft, film fade.

… and that’s just scratching the surface of  the 10 new film styles in this pack…

E-Chrome gives you breathtaking portraits, sun-drenched landscapes, moody cityscapes & more

The NATE Cam E-Chrome Collection includes 10 breathtaking new film presets, based on classic films. While each of these has their root in a classic film, they go beyond this to bring out various aspects of each style. My goal is for each preset to be usable and aesthetically pleasing, while still retaining the look of the underlying film that inspired it.

What’s inside E-Chrome:

They were each built on top of my new NATE Cam custom camera profiles, which means these presets are perfectly calibrated for your camera.

Also, each preset comes with 4 different strength levels, so you can dial in just the right strength. 

• Before
• EX04 [– –]
• EX04 [–]
• EX04 [standard]
• EX04 [+]

^^ Go ahead and try it for yourself above ^^

You can take your photos even further with the included NATE Cam Film Toolkit presets for Lightroom, which makes it easy to add complex film effects. I carefully planned the settings in the Film Toolkit to compliment the existing presets. The combination of these two is really amazing.

The NATE Cam Film Toolkit includes:

Film Dynamics // + // ++ // +++
Softens the dynamic range of your images in a film-like way.

Film Fade // 01 // 02 // 03 // 04 // 05 // 06 // 07 // 08 // 09 // 10
Adds predictable fade levels that compliment (rather than overwrite) the underlying tones of each preset.

Film Punch // + // ++ // +++
Adds intensity to your photos by carefully pulling down the blacks and shadow tones without effecting skin tones.

Film Saturation // – // + // ++ // +++
Increase saturation levels just in the shadows and highlight areas of an image.

Film Grain [megapixels] // 200 // 400 // 800 // 1600
Adds perfect film grain, calibrated to the resolution of your photo.

The Difference is in the Details

If you’ve read my film guides or tried my other preset packs, you know that I’m obsessed with the details. Because the details are the difference between photos that look “just ok” and photos that make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck.

Here are a few reasons this pack will produce such stunning results with your photos:

• 10 meticulously-crafted styles that go beyond emulation. The NATE Cam E-Chrome Lightroom presets are based in real film, but then go beyond this to bring out stylish tones in your photos. They’ve been tested to work in a variety of real world situations (not just a studio environment), and tested on hundreds of different camera models.
• My all new Camera Calibration Profiles for over 500 cameras. This is part of the secret to how good these presets look – and very difficult to do. Adobe’s tool for this – the DNG Profile Editor – is severely outdated. So I ended up writing my own software for the calibrations. It took a while, but totally worth it! You can see the list of supported cameras here.
• 4 finely-tuned strength settings for each preset, so you can quickly dial-up or dial-down the intensity level in a predictable way. This was the single-biggest request I’ve received from readers.
• My all new Film Toolkit has an additional 40 presets that let you quickly make complex, film-like adjustments. It was built to work perfectly in conjunction with the E-Chrome presets.
• Now, videographers can get these same tones in Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects, and Final Cut Pro, with the option to purchase 3D LUT files.

The best way to show you how good this pack is, though, is to just show you the results. These are actual photos that real users have sent me using E-Chrome:

FAQs

Q. Will this work with my version of Lightroom?
A. These presets work perfectly with Lightroom 4, 5, 6 & CC.

Q. Will this work with Photoshop?
A. Yes, you can use the ACR presets on RAW photo files in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Bridge. You can also use these filters on non-RAW files inside Photoshop by applying a “camera raw filter”, as described here.

Q. Will this work on my phone or mobile device?
A. If you have the Lightroom Mobile app on your phone or mobile device, there is a clunky way to “sync” presets. But these presets are not intended to be used on mobile devices.

Q. Will this work with my camera model?
A. If you are able to use Lightroom with your camera model, than these presets will work with your camera. You will get the most consistent results, however, if your camera is on the Custom Camera Profile List. If your camera is not on this list, the presets will use your default camera profile.

Q. Can I use these for video editing?
Yes, if you purchase the Video Preset pack, you will receive 3D LUT files which will work in Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro. If you are using a different video editor, please check first to make sure it accepts 3D LUT files.

Q. Does this work with JPEG or only RAW?
A. You will get the most consistent results with RAW. That said, these filters will work just fine with your JPEG files.  In fact, these presets will look better on your JPEGs than a lot of other presets because the baseline calibration is closer to your camera’s own settings.

Q. Does this work with Mac & Windows?
A. Yes, this works with both Mac & Windows.

Q. How do I install this?
A. For Mac, there is an included installer program, which makes installation a snap. For Windows users, there are instructions included on how to add these presets to Lightroom.

Custom Camera Profile List

One of the major improvements in the E-Chrome series is the custom camera profiles. While you can still use these presets on JPEGs or with Camera Models which do not have a custom profile, you will get the best results if you shoot RAW and if your camera model is on the list below.

Fortunately, I’ve made these custom camera calibrations for over 500 of the most popular camera models, so there is a very high chance your camera model is on this list.

And YES, as new camera models are supported by Lightroom, I will also support them with a custom profile.

It just may take me a few weeks after release to do calibrations and update the list. If there is a particular camera model missing, please email me to let me know!

[Note: these are the model names according to the manufacturer – in some cases, particularly with Sony, the popular name of a camera model may be different from actual model name, so be sure to double-check this]
