![]() ![]() ![]() Having shot both Canon and Nikon DSLR’s before I acquired the X-E1, I was thrilled to find a camera that had natural, film-like, aesthetic colors. Since she has a lot of experience with film and Pro 400H (her favourite) here is what she stated: I asked Rebecca about her process in developing those presets. The colours are soft and slightly de-saturated. ![]() Based on her experience as a medium format and 35mm shooter, she recreated that look for brightly-lit pictures, never forgetting the importance of good contrast and strong shadows. Rebecca designed the preset specifically for the Fuji X-Trans sensor’s RAW files, which have a colour reproduction close to that of film. There are different categories inside the set, but one in particular really stands out amongst the rest: the “pastel” set is an emulation of the Fuji Pro 400H which is well-known for its pastel-like colours. X-Trans Sensor and Pro 400H: the Pastel Presets N.B.: I mainly use examples from Fuji X cameras in this article but keep in mind that the presets can be applied to any RAW file, regardless of the model or the manufacturer. You soon realise this after seeing how the presets are able to develop the RAW files very accurately, especially the Fuji RAF files, with regards to light and colour. The presets are designed for professionals and the results are very advanced. They can be applied to almost any kind of picture such as wedding, landscapes or portrait. The Rebecca Lily Pro Set II is a series of presets for Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop that allows you to apply several different looks to your photograph without spending hours trying to create them manually. But now that I am currently writing this introduction, I realise I should fill in this gap in my knowledge, as I believe that every new experience is precious for any photographer. I never felt a creative curiosity to continue with it and build a project around it, mainly because I always found digital more convenient for the work I do. My only experiences were when I was little (my first camera ever was a Yashica FX200) and during the Cinema School I attended in France where we learned to shoot and develop black and white film. Being part of the “digital” generation, I have never really given film a proper chance.
