Mastin Labs presets were made to emulate more than just the color tones of film they change the way a digital file behaves. Once you’ve selected a preset, click it, and move on to step two. Whatever pack and skin tone combination you’re working with, you can fine-tune skin with the white balance and tint slider, which you’ll hear more about in step three. For instance, the Fuji Original pack is the go-to for “light and airy” shooters, while the Portra Pushed pack is preferred among the “dark and moody” crowd.Īlso, the subject’s skin tone can help pinpoint the best preset to use-dark skin tones are a good match with all the Fuji packs and Adventure Everyday Original, and the Portra packs are ideal for adding warmth to pale skin, but they can make dark skin look too warm.

Like the original films, the presets have characteristics that make them more or less suited for different scenarios.

Based on real films, Mastin Labs preset packs align with their namesake film stocks.
