I have been looking for a product that simulates the look of some of my favorite film stocks.

“Alien Skin is bringing the look and feel of film to digital photography. Based on the detailed analysis of real world film stocks, Exposure emulates the warmth, softness, and realistic grain of dozens of real world film stocks.

Photographers can use Exposure to recreate a signature look as a one-click effect. Moreover, Exposure controls saturation, light temperature, dynamic range, softness, sharpness, and the addition of realistic grain in one place.”

They currently have examples of Fuji Velvia, Kodak Ektachrome EES and GAF 500. I hope they do Agfa Ultra 50/100, it is a wonderful film stock.

I found a decent article about the AGFA Photo bankruptcy and what it means for consumers and pro labs.

I am very happy to hear that a company named Photo-Me has acquired all or some of the assets of bankrupt AgfaPhoto. Apparantly, Photo-Me paid about 6 million dollars for the assets of Agfa’s photo finishing business. This still leaves the film business up in the air and I am hoping that the film division will live on in some way.

With the rise of digital cameras all of the traditional film manufacturers have been having tough times. The maker of my most favorite color film EVER, Agfa is set to be liquidated at the end of the year. I am tempted to order a whole bunch of AGFA film but I haven’t shot film in months.
