Make your photo
look like film

Your photo goes through the two stages a real print goes through. First the film, whose three colour layers respond to light the way its measured curves say. Then the colour paper, with curves of its own. That is why every film keeps its own colour and contrast, and why the result reads as a print and not as a filter.

Measured

curves from the makers' own data sheets

Paper

RA-4 colour paper, Endura or Crystal Archive

Grain

dye clouds at the film's size, not noise on top

Drop your photo in and start editing. Every edit runs on your own device and never touches our server, and there is nothing to install. Save the file when you are done.

Controls

brightness, contrast, shadows, highlights, white balance, saturation

Before and after

hold V to see the photo before your edits

Save

a JPEG or PNG at full size

If you have a folder of photos, open it in Abney and give them all one film at once. Put one photo on the desk three times to compare films side by side. When the edit is done, lay the photos out as a book.
