Designed for photographers who want bold color shifts, rich contrast, and textured tonal depth, this collection channels the spirit of analog experimentation with a modern, refined finish.
At its core, FILMXPRO captures the unpredictable beauty of cross-processed negatives, silver retention prints, and bleach bypass treatments - reimagined with precision control for today’s digital workflow.

FILMXPRO Creative PROFILE: FILMXPRO includes a custom profile designed to enhance contrast and saturation with a refined filmic curve. It builds depth in shadows, preserves highlight detail, and gives colors a rich but controlled vibrancy - providing a strong foundation before you even touch a slider.
“This preset collection was born from my love for analog photography - from the quiet process of loading film, the anticipation of waiting for it to come back, and the magic of seeing those first imperfect frames. I fell in love with the warmth, the contrast, the unexpected color shifts that came from alternative processing. Those moments shaped my creative eye and how I tell stories. This set is my way of holding onto that feeling…translating the depth, nostalgia, and emotion of film into a digital space without losing the character that makes film so timeless.”
Examples
FXP 01 - Balanced X-Pro
A clean but expressive interpretation of cross-processing. Expect vibrant color separation, lifted contrast, and subtle shifts in shadows and highlights.

FXP 02 - Bold ALternative
A stronger, more stylized cross-processed look with deeper contrast and pronounced color shifts. Shadows carry mood and highlights pop with energy. This preset leans into the experimental side of film.

FXP 03 - Warmth & Depth
Drawing from silver retention and bleach bypass processes, FXP 03 blends controlled warmth with desaturated depth. Highlights carry a subtle golden tone while shadows fall into dense, textured blacks. The result is bold contrast, restrained color, and a dramatic cinematic atmosphere that still protects skin tones.

Tools
Inspired by experimental film developing techniques, FilmXPro includes tools to help you experiment beyond traditional colors, introducing a sense of spontaneity to your filmic photo edits.
Bleach Bypass Tool: Boosts contrast and texture while muting color for a gritty, cinematic finish. Perfect for adding drama and atmosphere.

ENR (Silver Retention) Tool: Inspired by the ENR process, this tool enhances contrast while selectively reducing saturation - creating dense blacks and metallic tonal depth without fully stripping color.

Cross-Processing (X-Pro) Tool: Adds vibrant color shifts and dynamic contrast reminiscent of traditional cross-processing. Layer for intensity or use subtly to energize flat light.
