01
Hybrid wedding photographers
You shoot film and digital at the same wedding and want the scans and the digital frames to look as if they belong together.
Hybrid Film and Digital
Film Scan Matching
For photographers who mix film and digital. Your editor matches the digital frames to your scans, so the gallery reads as one set.
Who It Is For
For Hybrid Photographers and Digital Shooters Chasing a Film Look
Film scans often look softer and more organic, while digital files tend to be sharper and more vibrant. Bringing them together takes color grading experience.
02
Digital-only photographers
We accept digital-only orders. Your editor can give digital photographs a film look based on your references.
03
Photographers with a defined look
If you already know what your finished scans look like, those frames become the reference the editor works toward.
04
Photographers who want to review first
The Free Trial lets you check film-matching accuracy and skin-tone rendering on up to 10 photos before placing a full order.
How It Works
From Scans and Digitals to One Consistent Gallery
01
Choose your references
Pick finished film scans and edited frames that show your look. Our style guide article explains what to include and how to describe it.
02
Send a catalog with Smart Previews
Build a Lightroom Classic catalog with Smart Previews that contains the digital frames and your scans, compress it into a .zip archive and upload it on the Send Your Photos page.
03
Your editor matches color and tonality
Your personal editor adjusts each frame by hand: Temperature + Tint, Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, clipping, noise reduction and sharpening, working from your references or preset family.
04
Review, then refine
You receive a completed Lightroom catalog. If something can be improved, tell us: your feedback is added to your color profile for all future orders.
