DxO FilmPack 6: Accurately Rendering the Soul of Analog Photography

This latest version introduces new films, cinematographic renderings, and Fujifilm in addition to support for X-Trans RAW files (Beta).It features a wide array of new effects as well as Time Machine, a unique and interactive introduction to the historyof film photography.

The industryleader in authenticity DxO FilmPack reproduces the grain and colors of legendary analog films as closely as possible thanks to an exclusive calibration process perfected in its laboratories. The software recreates the hues, saturation, contrast, and grain of 84 authentic analog films, including the famous Kodak Tri-X 400, Polaroid 690, IlfordHPS, and Fujifilm Superia. It also uses a decidedly original approachto navigating the progression of development and processing technologies through the different photographic eras. Time Machine: harnessing the history of photography to power creativity DxO FilmPack 6 provides users with a true journey through time, offering an introduction to the history of analog photography from its creation to the present day. The software introduces a new way of displaying creative and analog renderings separated into 14 periods illustrated by legendary, iconic images, and famous figures in photography. Each photograph is documented from a technicaland historical perspective, and users are provided with the closest rendering so they can apply it to their images and recreate a similar style and finish. In this way, for example, users can infuse their black-and-white images with the charm of the 50s or even the soul of William Klein'sart.

"We wanted to give DxO FilmPackeven greater depth," comments Jean-Marc Alexia, VP Marketing& Product Strategy. "To document our Time Machine, we collaborated with the Friends of the French Museum of Photography in Bièvres, an association chaired by the photographer Didier Pilon, who produced fantastic research." New legendary film renderingsEkta EIR Impossible PX 600 Silver Shade DxO FilmPack enters the modern digital age with 15 new renderings, specifically two legendary films,the famous EKTACHROME Professional Infrared EIR Color Slide Film from KODAK and the monochrome instant film for the Polaroid600 camera, IMPOSSIBLE PX 600 SILVER SHADE; seven film simulation modes from X-series Fujifilm digital cameras; and six cinema renderings inspired by the biggesttrends in cinematographic color grading.
