How do you get this painterly look of film with digital? I don't

just find some good pre-made filters for light studio and voila

The digital look almost always shines through these filters. I think some more sophisticated editing is required.

>How do you get this painterly look of film with digital?

u cant.

that glow you see there is light leaking through the positive film. real soft light fusing with the actual image. cant fake that

>inb4 digiplebs claim to be able to emulate that look
>inb4 digiplebs wont upload a single picture proving that claim

What you're most probably looking for is not just any "look of film", but pretty specific look of the Kodachrome process.
And as far as I'm concerned there's no concrete tool for emulating that one, it has to do with film's physical and chemical properties and processing.
No preset will give you that.
You can get pretty close with emulating colors with heavy editing though, with right original files, but there's no real point in that.

That's not how it works.

Use a camera with a good dynamic range, shoot in raw, underexpose and use VSCO.
Using a lens with spherical aberration may help too.

What you are seeing here is horrific colour inaccuracy from the film. The reason you can't put our finger on it is because every colour in the image is wrong. If that shot was taken with C41 or even E6 it wouldn't look that dreamy either

then go paint in the light yourself with photoshop.

People would edit film photos in development as well, not like the digital counterpart is cheating

Your example file is hilariously bad, too.

Learn to seek out the right light, that's the first step and without the right light no amount of editing will help you.

Then learn to color balance your images to your liking.

Consider using vintage lenses on your digicam for one, modern lenses are generally really nice compared to vintage lenses and will be noticeably digital from how the lens handles flaring, ghosting, optical resolution, etc.
You can download a Lightroom preset and camera profile for your RAW file, to emulate the specific film stock OR you could make a preset and profile yourself

It has nothing to do with light that's for sure

>>2948744
it might be wrong but it looks so right.

>>2948701
You're really, really wrong.

Shoot older film either expired or rollei cn 200.

Shooting film won't give you cancer, digipleb. Stop acting like it will.

it seems like the specific feel of that photo comes from blooming, colours from strong light sources or coloured objects that leaks onto other elements in the photo, not because of light bouncing around in the real world, but because of colours leaking over into eachother in the lens or the film.

i sort of managed to simulate this in photoshop by cutting out main elements of the image, either light emmitting or with distinct colours onto new layers, then applying heaps of gaussian blur to them, making the colours bleed across the photo, i then used luminosity masks that makes the blur only affect the area around the colour emitting objects.. finished off with recovering some contrast and clarity, and some colour balancing to make a quick and dirty velvia-ish filter.

I don't really want to argue, but you sound suspiciously similiar to the "activated almonds" guy
