Analog Efex Pro Film Type panelĪnalog Efex Pro’s Film Types are interesting. The Classic Camera 5 preset has a fairly strong vignette applied as standards, but if you open the Lens Vignette panel you can adjust the strength of the effect and alter its size and position by moving the vignette gadget on the image. Analog Efex Pro Lens Vignette panelĪpplying a lens vignette (corner shading) effect might sound like a cheap trick that could easily lose its novelty value but, done subtly, it neatly ‘frames’ the subject in the picture and increases the overall tonal contrast. You can experiment with different textures, though, by using the drop-down menu to choose different categories and using the Strength slider to adjust the effect. The Analog Efex Pro Classic Camera 5 preset does use the Dust & Scratches tool, but at a setting of zero percent, so it has no effect. Analog Efex Pro Dirt & Scratches panelĭirt and scratches (and textures) can give a tactile, distressed patina to vintage images, but it’s easy to overdo them. In this panel, I’ve also reduced the Saturation slightly for a more faded look. Time and time again I’ve found this a brilliant quick fix for images with contrast issues.

The Detail Extractor slider is like an cross between a Dehaze, Clarity and HDR tool, which brings up shadow detail and gives images real ‘punch’. There’s one slider here which is especially useful. First up, is the Basic Adjustments panel, and this is used for practically all presets and effects. When I apply this preset, the toolbar over on the right side of the screen shows that four tools were used to create it, so let’s look at each in turn to see what it does and how it contributes to the picture. It’s a good starting point, but I can make some adjustments to make the picture a bit more to my liking and show some of the Analog Efex Pro tools at the same time. I’ve chosen the Classic Camera 5 preset in the Classic Camera category, simply because it seems to suit the vintage feel of this picture of a steam locomotive. There are a large number of preset effects in Analog Efex Pro, organised into categories.

ANALOG EFEX PRO HOW TO

How to get started with Analog Efex Pro.In these screenshots I’ve used Analog Efex Pro’s split screen before-after view so that you can compare the original image (left) with with edited version (right). What’s a little different about Analog Efex Pro and some other effects programs is that you can choose which filters and effects to use, rather than seeing every possible filter for every image. Preset are simply saved combinations of tools and settings which you can modify yourself once the preset has been selected. It’s the way presets work across every image effects tool. This isn’t something specific to Analog Efex Pro.

It’s very easy to customise and adapt these presets to give exactly the kind of look you want.
