A tool by urbanentdecker

Every photo, printed.

Pick the negative. Pick the paper. Pick the bath. Colour papers by decade, silver gelatin with real toning, every sheet with a measured D-max, and the years that passed since. Export the print, or the LUT.

Cinematic grade rebuilt from the pixels alone
Measured source

No settings in the file, so the look was measured from the pixels and refined until the render matched. Complementary teal and orange split, crushed blacks for a film feel.

01 · How a print is made

Three choices. One sheet.

A print has no light shining on it and no clock. Everything here is what a flat sheet can carry: paper white from the published D-min, dye range from the D-max, toners that bite where the silver is, and the fading Wilhelm measured. If a sheet cannot carry it, we do not fake it. Below, the analyzer still reads the grade out of any photo and exports it to Resolve, Lightroom or Capture One.

01
The negative

The scan as it is, or one of the film stocks. Cine negatives print through a print stock and a colour head.

02
The paper

Colour papers by decade with a measured D-max, or a silver sheet printed at a grade. Then the years: album, wall or window.

03
The bath

Selenium goes for the shadows first. Sepia bleaches the highlights first. Gold cools from the top. Every bath at its own dilution.
