Chrome Film · film

Chrome Film makes one kind of light.

Gives landscapes the saturated greens, deep blues and dense blacks of projected slide film, with the sky held.

Vivid Slide Landscape is 10 presets for film photography. Every one of them is below, before you pay for any of it.

About this pack

Slide film did not fade; it glowed. A landscape on a light box had greens that were greener than the hill, a blue sky that went almost navy at the top, and blacks that were simply black. These ten looks do that: saturation above neutral, contrast high, blacks dense with no lift at all, and the highlights held so the sky keeps its gradient. There is no grain to speak of because slide grain was fine. It is the loudest pack in Chrome Film and it is meant for land, water and weather, not faces. Ten presets, one look, one job, stepping from a light hand to the full effect so you pick the version the frame wants. XMP for Lightroom Classic and Lightroom desktop, DNG for the free Lightroom mobile app; exposure and crop are left to you. Chrome Film is for photographs that belong on a light box or in an album, never on a screen.

Greens and blues saturated, never muddy
Blacks dense, no lift
Sky gradient held
Fine grain, projected look

Mountain, coast and forest landscapes, big weather, travel views with sky.

The look is inspired by saturated slide film such as Fujifilm Velvia 50. This product is not made, licensed or endorsed by Fujifilm. Inspired by the look of classic film. Not made, licensed or endorsed by the film's maker.

Chrome Film is the transparency on the light box and the print it turned into thirty years later. Slide film had dense blacks, reds that held, cool shadows and colour that was either vivid or muted but never soft. The dialect is documentary, reportage, the projector, the slide tray, the seventies road trip, the magazine page, and then the album where those pictures faded: milky blacks, a colour shift, dust. Every pack says which end of that story it belongs to and what it does to blacks, reds and shadows that a colour negative would not.

Every pack here is its own product with its own page, so you buy the one look you need, and a larger pack or the family collection is always one step up from it.

Why I Make These

I am Netzah Elad Topaz. I take photographs and I build software, and the two keep leading me back to the same problem. You were there. The light was doing something you will not see again. Then the photo comes back flat, and it is not what you were looking at.

Closing that gap is the whole job. Every preset here is built from Adobe defaults by hand, with a written note for what it should do to a picture, and it is judged on photographs before it ships. Nothing is a filter dropped on top of your work.

What I want is simple. You open a photo you almost gave up on, you tap once, and there it is: the day you remember, not the file your camera handed you. That is worth doing properly.

Questions, answered

Which Lightroom versions does this work with?

Lightroom Classic and Lightroom desktop via the XMP files, and the free Lightroom mobile app on iPhone and Android via the DNG files. Install once and the presets sync across your devices.

Is it safe on skin tones?

Not by design. This pack is for places, objects and weather; on a face it will do what it does to everything else. Use the portrait packs in this brand when a person is the subject.

How do I make it stronger or softer?

Use the Amount slider in Lightroom desktop and mobile to dial the whole preset up or down. To keep the colour but soften the blacks, raise Blacks a few points; to keep the density but calm the grain, lower Grain in Effects.

Do these work in the free Lightroom app?

Yes. Import the .xmp files in the free Lightroom app on iPhone or Android, no subscription needed. They also work in Lightroom Classic and Lightroom on desktop.

What exactly do I get?

All 100 presets from Chrome Film Library as .xmp files in an instant ZIP download. The link also lands in your email, and the purchase stays in your account so you can re-download any time.

How do I install them?

Two minutes: unzip, then import inside Lightroom. The step-by-step guide covers iPhone, Android, and desktop.

Can I use them for client work?

Yes. The single-user license covers personal and commercial photography. The one thing you can't do is share or resell the preset files themselves.

Can I tweak a preset after applying it?

Always. A preset is a starting point; every slider stays yours to adjust.
