I upgraded my DXO software to version 4.5.1 this past weekend. Some neat new features are: Presets for all common adjustments and emulation of 30 popular films.

Here is an example of a conversion to Kodachrome64 and a preset conversion to sepia tone. What do you think?

Hey Jim. Sorry, I'm not feeling this one. I don't use DXO, but the face and eyes are looking a little darkish, and the sepia makes it worse. I think it can benefit from PP fill. I have found these film emulators don't work very well. You have to shoot in a similar manner as the creator of the converter to make it work properly. Chances of that aren't very good.

It looks really really bad but its not the action so much as the makeup. To get a good sepia, there needs to be either neutral or no makeup and, as Lloyd said, fill flash is your friend with this shot.

Thanks guys for the feedback...I agree...toss the sepia...work with the color. The makeup does look splotchy...the color shot does print very nicely on 4x6 and 5x7 matte however.
