FAQ
Questions, answered.
The product
I’ve bought presets before and was disappointed. Why is this different?
A preset moves your sliders, so it looks different on every photo. Cinea is a camera profile: it changes how the RAW is read, based on real film, and your sliders stay free.
What’s in the pack?
Eight film stocks, each in −1, 0 and +1: 24 profiles for Lightroom and Capture One. Plus finishing presets for grain, lifted blacks and borders. See everything in the pack.
What are the −1 and +1 versions?
Film looks different a stop under or over. −1 is denser and warmer, +1 lighter and softer. Your brightness stays the same, so start at 0.
How are the profiles made?
We shoot every stock on real film, scan it on a Noritsu, and match it to a colour chart shot on digital in the same light. Then we fine tune by hand.
Does it add grain and halation?
The colour is measured from film. Grain and halation are our best approximation; nothing digital is an exact copy.
Will there be more stocks?
Yes. Stocks 9 and 10 are on the way, and they’re free if you already own the pack.
Compatibility
Will it work with my camera?
If Lightroom or Capture One opens your RAW files, yes. JPEGs work too, just less precisely.
Does it work in both Lightroom and Capture One?
Yes. Lightroom Classic, Lightroom, Lightroom Mobile and Capture One 21+, matched.
Does it work on iPhone photos?
Yes, on RAW and ProRAW in Lightroom Mobile. People use it on iPhone 17 Pro files, portrait mode included.
Will it work on my camera?
If Lightroom or Capture One opens your RAW files, Cinea works on them.
Install and use
How do I install it?
Double click the files and restart your editor. Cinea shows up in the Profile menu. The install video takes two minutes.
Can I make the effect weaker?
Yes. In Lightroom, the Amount slider under the profile takes it from a hint of film to the full look.
Buying
Is it really a single payment?
Yes. €60 once, no subscription. Fixes to these eight stocks stay free.
How do I get the files?
Straight after checkout. You get a download link on screen and by email.
Can I try it first?
Yes. Gold 200 is free. Leave your email on the homepage and try it on your own RAW files.
Can I get a refund?
Everything about refunds is in our refund policy. Read the refund policy.
Can I use Cinea for client work?
Yes, for personal and paid work, on as many of your own computers as you like. Just don’t share or resell the files. Read the terms.
