FILM II

Overview

FILM II is a Lightroom preset designed to give photos a cinematic film look across various lighting conditions. Created by photographer Emilie Hofferber, this digital tool promises to transform everyday images into movie-like stills with natural skin tones and subtle refinement.

Key Features

• Works with all color temperatures and lighting conditions
• Maintains natural skin tones with added glow
• Creates cinematic film aesthetic
• One-click transformation tool
• Suitable for golden hour, blue hour, midday, and foggy conditions

Best For

Travel photographers and content creators who want to quickly achieve a consistent, cinematic look across their images. Particularly useful for digital nomads documenting their journeys or social media creators who need efficient editing workflows while on the road.

Things to Consider

This is a DNG file only (not a traditional Lightroom preset), which may require additional steps to install. All sales are final, so there's no option to return if the aesthetic doesn't match your style. At $15 for a single preset, it's relatively expensive compared to preset packs that offer multiple looks.

Our Take

FILM II offers a specific aesthetic that could streamline editing for photographers seeking a consistent cinematic look. However, the single preset format and final sale policy make it a somewhat risky purchase without being able to preview the exact results on your own images first.
