Negative first, because that is what most people mean by film. Colour Neg has the warm midtones, the soft shoulder and the cyan lean in the shadows; Skin Latitude lets the faces warm before anything else does. Slide Film is the reversal shelf: steep tone, dense blacks and loud clean colour, from Clean Reversal up to Maximum Chrome. Rich Print is the darkroom enlargement, reds deep and nothing clipped.

Instant Pack lifts the toe, pales the frame and lets a green-warm cast in, with Faint Pack for a trace of it and Full Pack for the whole thing. Matte Finish is the finishing ladder with no colour work at all, toe lifted and shoulder pulled; Cotton Stock is the one most editors leave on a gallery export.

The cinema shelf is a pair. Anamorphic Wide keeps the low-contrast rendering cine glass gives, blacks lifted and the flare left blue; the streak itself comes from the lens, this only gives it a cool tone to sit in. Bleach Pass is the silver look, contrast hard and colour stripped to an orange residue.

Snapshot Vernacular is the roll nobody meant to be art: direct flash, a magenta tint, cheap-print reds run hot on purpose. A few frames from each shelf are on the light table below, on the same photographs.

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 one looks most like a scanned negative?

Full Emulsion in Colour Neg has all of it at once. Light Emulsion is the gentlest pass if the file already has some warmth in it.

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 144 presets from Film Archive 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.
