A friend recently turned me onto this great plug in software for Photoshop called Alien Skin. The software has great simulated film stocks that make for a great starting point when working on your digital pix. That is if you like the look of film and want to get close to the look of tri-x 400 or say 160NC Portra. There are quite a few film stocks ranging from Fuji, Kodak, Ilford and Agfa, in both color and B&W. There is also filters for infrared and slide film simulations that are quite impressive. I know film purists will probably disagree with me, but if your that into film your probably not going to shoot digital anyway. But if you are this is a great way to get something as close as possible to making your digital files look like you scanned a print, neg, or slide. Trust me nothing comes close to a B&W fiber print in my opinion, but if your a working photographer and workflow and speed is important. Then this might just be a great solution for you!

Standard processing from RAW to jpeg, no color film simulation.

Fuji Astia slide film simulation.
