DxO FilmPack version 8 film emulation software is now officially released (buy here) with a new Time Warp mode and full Photoshop integration for analog style and historical immersion. Here is what’s new in DxO FilmPack 8:
- Time Warp Mode: Introduces two tools—Time Travel slider for applying era-specific film looks from over 200 years of photographic history (including grain, color shifts, and degradation), and ‘Ageify’ slider for progressively aging and distressing images based on authentic film stocks and effects.
- Full Adobe Photoshop Integration: Provides seamless access to the entire film rendering library directly within Photoshop, allowing application to layers or flattened images without switching software; enhances existing compatibility with DxO PhotoLab and Adobe Lightroom Classic.
- 15 New Analog Film Renderings: Meticulously engineered additions including CineStill 800T (cinematic low-light), Harman Phoenix 200 (vibrant with distinctive grain), Lady Grey B&W 120 ISO 400 (sophisticated black-and-white), and Kodak TMAX Pro 3200 (ultra-sensitive), increasing the total library to 153.
- Scanned Film Optimization Tool: New feature for preparing home-scanned negatives and slides, with one-click tonal inversion for color or black-and-white, plus over 10 dedicated tone curve presets to correct common color shifts and density issues.
- Expanded Time Machine: Adds 17 new historical images with corresponding renderings to enrich the visual timeline and provide insights into film’s evolution.
- Themed Webview Browsing: Introduces a curated ‘Portrait’ theme for more intuitive exploration of the archive to discover suitable looks.
- Digital Camera-Inspired Renderings: Four new profiles based on the color science of popular Fujifilm and Sony cameras, incorporating subtle tones, contrast curves, and color profiles into the ecosystem.
- High-Resolution Creative Effects: All textures, frames, light leaks, and other overlays upgraded to high resolution for clarity on high-megapixel RAW files across print and digital formats.
- Workflow Enhancements: General improvements including refined scan and effect options for better integration and usability.
