P: Polychromatic Film Grain and Halation

I've been using Lightroom for 10 years now and I still love the program. I don't do many VFX tweaks and barely use photoshop for event photos. But I would love if Adobe can allow you to choose and adjust polychromatic film grain, not just monochromatic. Film doesn't have monochromatic grain unless it's B&W. Also would love a Halation effect. Something that you can adjust color, brightness, bloom, softness, etc. Does anyone else want this?

Hello,

 

Ive been experimenting with different external plugins to help get me closer to a certain look for my images.

 

Dehancer has a couple unique things that I think would be great to have in Lightroom. Specifically, the Halation and Bloom functions.

They also have more grainular adjustments (pun intended) for their Film Grain tool which I thought was awesome.

Would absolutely love to see Adobe implement some form of halation into lightroom. I'll probalby eventually end up getting Dehancer but I really think it should be built in. I shouldn't have to pay $200 on top of a subscription I've been paying for years to do a basic thing that can enhance the mood of a photograph. 

 

Dust and scratches would be a really nice thing to see as some form of slider or generator element. 

 

Thanks.

Hi, First of all, Thank you guys for your hard work in introducing new features to us, I loved every one of them. So I'm learning new editing styles with Lightroom and I like my photographs to have a cinematic look and I feel like some features like halation or bloom features are missing to give my photographs a One hundred percent cinematic sensation. So I would like you to add an FX tab and include halation and bloom features. Thank you and Good luck for your future Projects.

And I wish it was in the Lightroom ecosystem (cloud based) because I also edit on my phone.

" Does anyone else want this?"

 

Not me - I'm utterly baffled by the appeal of adding worse image quality to a picture: at best it's a gimmick, at worst it's a feeble attempt to hide a mediocre image behind a "look".

Well, some clients want the "film look" sooo just trying to provide them what they want, without having to use film which I feel is a gimmick. (Having shot film for over a decade.) You know, you also don't have to use the feature. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hello! 
it would be great to add a feature that would allow users add a halation for those who make film-like edits. 
I am sure a lot of people would be very happy to see such a feature in lightroom! 
Thanks

It's a way to add naturalness and get rid of the over sharpened digital look.

Then why are you oversharpening in the first place? Two wrongs do not make one right.

Hey, would it be possible to get an option to create bloom and halation effects inside of Lightroom? I'd love to see that feature both in Lightroom Classic and the one that I use on my iPhone as I edited there all my mobile photos.

With the really wonderful lens blur simulation tool, I would really love to see other optical simulations such as halation to simulate film glow or blackmist lens filters. 

Halation for those of you who don't know is a glow on bright light sources that spills further into the image. If you've ever had a foggy lens, that's sort of an extreme version of the effect. It creates a dreamy effect, and softens it while still retaining clarity (not quite sure how to properly describe it, but it's kind of a perfect meld of filmic softness and digital clarity). 

 

It would be very useful to do this without having to use a filter, which is an additional piece of equipment and can effect exposure and focus, and is ultimately a "destructive" effect that you can't change in editing once you've shot with the filter.

 

It's possible to emulate this with a roundtrip to photoshop or other tools, but that's time consuming and is quite fiddly and takes up additional hard drive space with copies. I'd love to have it built into lightroom as another nondestructive tool with sliders to adjust things like the luminance threshold/curve, size and opacity of the blur to be able to create more stylised filmic images.
