I see Fuji's new S3 Pro comes with a feature allowing it to emulate film characteristics. Does anyone know what settings in a 20D might mimic the classic look of Kodachrome?

Your best bet is creating a photoshop action.

I think it's going to vary photo to photo. Thats the nice thing about digital photography.

I think sometimes people take it for granted. It's not even the costs of film, or the image quality of digital vs film (talk about a debate). The single most convient thing in my opinion about digital photograph is that you can "change your film" with each shot. Even after it's shot.

You want black and white? FINE DO IT!

Wnat a color version too? FINE DO IT!

Want to change ISO in the middle of a shoot? FINE DO IT!

So, what i'm saying is that for now just go out and shoot, any adjustments you want to be made can be done in photoshop.

Someone more experienced than me once described kodakchrome as a slightly 'pastel coloured' look which i tend to agree with.It's my favorite slide film :) .They also went onto describing how to emulate it in photoshop but i can't remember how it went... :oops:
something to do with slight desaturation = some other stuff.
Don't forget to add grain :lol:

Some film cameras can do mid-roll film change.

There are some other actions on the download page.

However, By then the shot may be over.

These will work on Mac and PC.
This is the first time I came across these particular plugins.
I am very impressed with all of them. The X-Process action is kewl...
I love that old slide look!
The Velvia actions are actually very good too!
He could easily charge $ for these actions, but I'm glad he doesn't
