The video demonstrates techniques to make digital photos look like film, focusing on color tuning, shadow adjustments, and adding specific effects. It highlights using Lightroom for adjusting hue, saturation, and luminance to mimic Kodak Portra 160 colors and adding blue to shadows for a Kodak Gold 200 look. For older Lightroom versions, split toning is suggested. In Photoshop, the video details creating a red halation effect similar to Cinestill 800T by manipulating image layers. Further enhancements include using surface blur, blend modes, and curves adjustments in Photoshop, along with adding authentic film grain. The video concludes with before-and-after comparisons and a call to support the channel. Key names include Kodak Portra 160, Kodak Gold 200, and Cinestill 800T; important tools are Lightroom and Photoshop.

In this segment, the video discusses four techniques to make digital photos resemble film. The first method involves adjusting the hue, saturation, and luminance of greens using Lightroom to match the colors of a film photo, specifically Kodak Portra 160. The second technique is adding blue to the shadows using the color grading panel in Lightroom, illustrated by matching the shadows of a Kodak Gold 200 photo. The video also offers an alternative for older versions of Lightroom using split toning. Lastly, for creating the red halation effect characteristic of Cinestill 800T film, the video demonstrates using Photoshop to manipulate the brightest parts of an image by copying the layer, adjusting thresholds, and applying red color overlays.

In this segment, the video demonstrates enhancing a photo using various adjustments and techniques in Photoshop. The steps include applying a surface blur with specific radius and threshold values, blending the layer with the photo using the ‘screen’ blend mode, and enhancing the halation effect with a curves adjustment layer set as a clipping mask and a hue saturation adjustment layer to increase saturation. The layers are then grouped together to compare the before and after effects. Additionally, film grain is added by overlaying extracted grain from actual film and adjusting the blend mode to ‘screen’ with a reduced opacity. The segment concludes with a side-by-side comparison of the original and edited photos, showcasing the improvements, and ends with a message thanking viewers and encouraging them to like, subscribe, and support the channel.
