Looking for the film simulation deep dive article

[dachshund7]

I was trying to remember something I read in this article, and then realized that it disappeared with imaging-resource. Written by Dave Etchells.

Does anyone have a copy?? Or is the same info available anywhere else online?

Thanks.

How can it be that imaging-resource has never been crawled by the wayback machine? Or am I doing something wrong?

BTW, there are some old threads here that have a very interesting deep dive into some of the film simulations. (I can't believe I've been shooting Fuji for this long!) Here are two of them:

Dissecting Astia/Soft

There was a bit of a dust-up about the naming of Classic Chrome. The Astia/Soft film simulation probably earns a bigger uproar. Despite its name, it apparently doesn't emulate the Astia slide film (either 100 or 100f) very well, and even Fujifilm acknowledges that the term soft "is quite...

Dissecting Provia

Although the holistic approach to understanding a film simulation is probably the best, there's some value in a clinical approach. Especially for folks like me who aren't really good at making sense of the simulation results based solely on actual photographs. Here's the DPReview studio scene...

And if you'd care to read up on the other alike posts on the then existing color filmsims, Doug Pardee put up links to all of them in this post for comfy access.

Thank you! I did finally land on Doug's posts, following some links above.

It's interesting that the Raw file is affected somewhat by the film simulations. Obviously this doesn't matter much once we edit the Raw file, and the effect seems pretty subtle. But it's intriguing nonetheless.
