Analog Vision Studio V2
Installation and User Manual
Thank you for choosing Analog Vision Studio.
This manual covers everything you need to install and use the film profiles and the included workflow presets. The profiles integrate into Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw, providing a film-accurate color foundation while keeping all standard editing controls fully available.
Please take a few minutes to read this guide before first use. It will help you get the best results from the start.
What's included.
The Essentials Pack contains 45 LUT-based camera profiles and a set of workflow presets, delivered as two separate ZIP files.
Eight film stocks, each profiled at three exposure levels from Fuji Frontier SP-3000 scans.
Every film stock ships in two versions: unbalanced and balanced. Each version is profiled at three exposure levels (-1, 0, +1 EV). That makes 45 .xmp profiles in total.
A set of supporting workflow presets for grain and tonal adjustments. The grain presets use luminance masks to target shadows, midtones, and highlights separately, giving you per-zone grain control that closely resembles how real film grain behaves.

About the profiles.
Analog Vision Studio profiles are based on a calibrated reference process. At their core are 140-patch ColorChecker Digital SG color charts, photographed under controlled daylight-balanced lighting conditions on 35mm film, then scanned on a Fuji Frontier SP-3000. These scans provide measured color and tonal reference data that is transformed into the underlying 3D LUT baked into each profile.
The 140-patch target provides roughly six times the color data of the industry-standard 24-patch chart. Fourteen of those patches are dedicated to skin tones alone. The result is measurably more accurate color mapping with less interpolation and fewer gaps.
A LUT-based profile maps thousands of individual color data points in a three-dimensional grid. For every color input, there is a precise color output. The color and tonal response of the film stock gets baked directly into your image.
In Lightroom's processing chain, Adobe's RAW engine first neutralizes your sensor data across different camera brands into a standardized color space. The profile then applies its color transformation on top of that neutral base at the end of the chain. This is why the profiles work accurately and consistently across different cameras and scenes, and why all standard editing controls remain fully available.
The Fuji Frontier SP-3000 is designed to digitally emulate traditional photographic printing. Color negative film was historically finished as RA-4 color prints, where negatives were optically enlarged onto photographic paper. The Frontier reproduces this print-oriented interpretation of film, closely resembling the output of professional labs.
For many photographers, this final printed result is what defines the familiar and characteristic film look. The profiles are built with this print-based rendering in mind.
Lightroom Classic and Adobe Camera Raw.
The Essentials Pack comes with two ZIP files. Both need to be imported separately.
This is the recommended method. It is the fastest and least error-prone way to install.
Your download contains two ZIP files: one for the Profiles and one for the Toolkit (workflow presets). Both files need to be imported in Lightroom through the same menu. You do not need to unzip them before importing.
Installing profiles in Lightroom Classic also installs them in Adobe Camera Raw automatically.
If you prefer manual installation, unzip both files first and follow these steps.

iOS and Android.
If the profiles do not appear in Lightroom Mobile, reinstall them in Lightroom (cloud version) to force them to sync to your Creative Cloud account.
How to use.
After installation, the profiles will appear in the Profile Browser under "Analog Vision Studio." Select the emulation you want and continue with your post-production workflow.
Below the profile name in the Basic panel is the Amount slider, which controls profile intensity. It ranges from 0 to 200, allowing you to go beyond 100 for stronger results or dial it back for a more subtle look. All profiles are designed to be used at 100%, though you are free to adjust as needed.
Click the star next to a profile name in Grid or List view if you want to add it to Favorites. Favorites sync across Lightroom Classic, Lightroom (including Mobile), and Adobe Camera Raw.
Every film stock in this pack ships in two versions. Understanding the difference helps you pick the right starting point.
In the Profile Browser, the two groups are clearly separated:
◭ ANALOG VISION STUDIO V2 - Essential Pack ◭ ANALOG VISION STUDIO V2 - Essential Pack (Balanced)Each film stock is profiled at three exposure levels. Film does not respond to light linearly, so each exposure level captures a different part of the film stock's tonal behavior.
Choose the EV level that best matches the mood and exposure of your image. You can always adjust the exposure slider independently after applying the profile.
The workflow presets are designed to complement the film profiles. Scanning or enlarging film introduces variables such as scanner automation or color dials that affect the result. These presets emulate some of those variables and help you fine-tune toward a consistent outcome. They are optional.
The grain presets work with three luminance masks to target shadows, midtones, and highlights separately. This is closer to how real film grain behaves: coarser and more visible in midtones and shadows, finer in the highlights.
