Strong demonstration settings make the effects easy to compare. Captions show the actual values used.

Preset look + working space

Start with a film look.

Choose RS Clean Natural or RS Cinematic, then set Look Strength. Both looks are shown at their maximum Strength of 1. Select None to compare the same car-and-mountain frame without a film preset.

Enable Tone Mapping

Four working spaces. DaVinci WG / Intermediate, ACEScct, ACEScg and Rec.709 Gamma 2.4. Film Pro grades through its internal DWG / Intermediate pipeline and returns the selected working space. On an ACES project, keep your project IDT and ODT in place. Tone Mapping defaults to off; avoid applying it again if your output transform already handles it.

White balance

Balance the light.

Adjust Temperature and Tint before shaping the look. This window portrait shows a strong Temperature +50 adjustment; exposure and the other feature settings stay fixed.

Use RS Adaptive Saturation, Subtractive Saturation and Bleach Bypass to shape the colour. Bleach Bypass is shown at 1 for a pronounced change in saturation and contrast.

New split tone

Set shadow and highlight hues.

Choose the two hues, then adjust Split Tone, Tone Density and Split Balance. Split Tone at 1 makes the cool shadows and warm highlights easy to compare on the same portrait.

Film texture

Choose the grain character.

Compare 16, 35 and 65 mm-style grain with Amount raised to 1 for each style. Each keeps its stock size, sharpness and saturation settings. Full 4096×2160 renders are cropped identically without scaling, so the texture remains visible.

Halation & bloom

Warm edges. Soft glow.

A man beside a bright window reveals the difference: Halation adds warm edges around his backlit hair; Bloom spreads the window light more softly. Compare the stronger effects separately, or together, on the same frame.

Export

Carry your grade into a LUT.

Export a 17³ .cube for Sony S-Log3 / S-Gamut3.Cine input to Rec.709 Scene output. Supported colour and tone adjustments are baked into the LUT; grain, halation and bloom stay in the plugin.

The external Output CST and its DaVinci tone mapping are separate from Film Pro’s LUT export. This page demonstrates Rec.709 Gamma 2.4 output; the exported LUT uses the fixed Rec.709 Scene format above. Use the plugin for grain and glow.
