Emulating Velvia 50, Acros 100, etc.

Acros would have been good!

Fuji Neopan Acros 100 is in the RawTherapee Film Simulation Collection

Didn’t know that. I may have to try that out and see how it compares to the actual film.

Hello,

you don't get Boles de Picolat at McDonalds (they don't even deliver the burgers they show in the ads).

You don't get Velvia 50 or Across 100 with a digital camera. Photographing with Velvia 50 includes: tripod, medium or large format camera, long exposures, blurred movements of objects - or: narrow dof, open aperture, isolation of a main subject.

At least carrying an analog camera, that is heavier than the X-Pro2 et al., usually a longer focal length when working with smaller formats.

The trouble starts in the beginning, not in post processing, IMHO.

Gut Licht!

Let me ask, how is it possible you know that dish !! ??

The trouble starts in the beginning, not in post processing, IMHO.

IMHO this is a key factor, the spectral sensitivity of the medium can be critical many. The way the spectrum is translated to 3 colors may limit our choices in the edition, because at exposure time scene spectral information is lost.

It should be noted that developed color film (negative or reversal) has also an spectrum for each spot, but in the middle it happened an information loss process. After first developer film only has 3 metallic silver levels in 3 layers, so scene spectral information was also lost and reduced to 3 analog levels (developed silver in the 3 layers)...

...later color developer/bleach substitutes silver by color clouds. Those color clouds are another spectral interpretation.

So both sensors and film have a critical spectral interpretation at exposure time. The film advantage is that we can load different films with different spectral natures, while with sensors we are tied to the colors of the particular RGB dyes that are on pixels.

Canon and Nikon DSLRs have an slightly different footprint. Canon is a bit better for skin tones while Nikon is a bit better for the rest. Even with all Photoshop edition this cannot be well matched, because it comes from the light filtration in the particular Bayer dyes.

My cameras travel to Roussillon every year, mainly in autumn. I accompany them, providing food and amorevolous care.

Yeah... "digital ACROS"... Isn't that kinda like a dancing bear in the ballet? Sharpening versus the very delicate micro-tonality and edge effect of real ACROS is a non-starter.
