Learn to shoot with intent to edit, and then learn a great deal about processing in Photoshop.

Learn curves, channels, blending modes, hue saturation tool, LAB color, HSB mode, masks, saturation masks, luminosity masks, different blur tools, etc.

Once you know your tools, it should be pretty easy.

Nice m8

Lmao this is b8, but if for some reason it isnt, digital imo doesnt look as good as film. I doubt anyone in their right mind would try and take a film picture and make it look more like it was taken with a digital camera.

shoot cheap expired film that has been left in a hot car for a day or two. it will look just like an Instagram filter

Medium format ektar overexposed by 1-2 stops always looked very neutral to me, I would start with ektar and tone everything down in post

"Film to digital challenge" guy checking in here. Seems like as good a shitfest as any to derail:

Did anyone ever post files for me to work with? One anon suggested he was going to provide files in "about a week" and that was more than a week ago. Just wanted to see if I had missed it.

Shoot any high end film (Provia, Portra, Ektar, etc) and expose it nicely. Then scan it correctly, and get your color balance correct, and it will look a lot like digital. The typical things that make people flag it as film in their heads are usually flaws or obstacles in film, like color shifting, poor shadow detail retention in a poorly exposed shot, dust or scratches, low resolution, etc.

Film manufacturers worked their asses off for more than 100 years trying to get rid of all the quirks and get films that would look as "normal" and accurate as possible. People look back on films that had strange coloring and uneven saturation profiles with longing, but at the time, people were mostly annoyed by it (or just accepted that a perfect image wasn't possible) and getting film that would handle reds, greens, blues, oranges, etc. in an even balanced way was a huge challenge and a major goal. They started getting really close with the most modern stuff, to the point where even with the new portra formula, many people are disappointed that they don't get the "portra cream" without picking a scene, exposure, and light specifically for it. It's too well corrected in most cases.

The "digital" look is more or less "accurate to what was on the scene" with very little shifting or struggle, so to match the digital look with film, you need a well balanced modern film.

If you want to achieve digital you need to desaturate this image, try and fuck up the colours too. Oh, remove the grain and add shitty fake pixels

You must also worsen your composition, digitial cuckolds seem to have a knack for this. It is only until then can you truly achieve the terror that is digitalised photography

saved, thanks based anon

But wait, isi greens are just velvia simulation greens, so in a way that's going full circle back to a film look.

Holy fuck, I just realized that you just made film look like digital made to look like film. Mindfuck.
