About this pack
Tokyo at night on a cheap roll does not look like a movie; it looks like a memory. The neon is there but muted, the blue of the hour after sunset stays blue, the blacks open up rather than crushing, and the grain is heavy because the film was pushed and the light was bad. These ten looks keep exposure under neutral, temperature cool, colour held back, and lay the grain on. Night Halation is the cinema version with glow and split colour; this is the quiet consumer version with neither. Ten presets, one look, one job, stepping from the barest touch 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. Japan Film is for photographs that would rather be still than loud.

Japan Film is the subtle roll: colour held back, greens natural and slightly cool, skin delicate and never warmed, blacks lifted a little so the frame is quiet. It is the alley at noon, the shrine in rain, the vending machine at night, the train platform, the moss on a Kyoto wall. The dialect is restrained, still, serene, hazy, everyday. Nothing is pushed. Grain is fine and the fade is gentle. Every pack answers the same question: which place, which light, and how much green.
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.
