How to Make iPhone Photos Look Like Film

Start with film color, add a little grain, then soften bright light if the scene needs it. You can shoot a new photo or edit one already in your library.

How do I get the film look?

  1. Open a photo in Emulsine, or choose a film before shooting.
  2. Pick a film color you like. Compare a few films to find a color that suits the light.
  3. Add 35mm grain for a finer texture, or 16mm for a stronger look.
  4. Try Low Halation or Mist around bright light, then compare with the original.

Can I edit photos I have already taken?

Yes. Import a HEIC, JPEG or supported RAW photo. Adjust the color strength if you want a lighter touch.

Do I need a new iPhone?

No. Emulsine runs on iOS 26 or later, and film color works with ordinary HEIC and JPEG photos too. You do not need ProRAW.
