    I love Film Pack. Time Machine is useful to know what's available but once you know the film styles you like you can select them directly from the Type and Rendering menus or save them to a Preset as I do. As with Time Machine you need Film Pack to see all the extra rendering options. You can also adjust intensity of the rendering with the slider. If you've not yet upgraded to the latest version of Film Pack the previous one works it just shows less film emulation/rendering options.

    All Hanging Rock scenes in Peter Weir’s 1975 film version were filmed on location at Hanging Rock, Victoria. The rest of the film was shot on location in South Australia, a condition stipulated by the South Australian Film Corporation who financed the film. Locations include Martindale Hall in Mintaro as “Appleyard College”, Albyn Terrace in Strathalbyn as “Woodend” and Wairoa (the former Marbury School) in Aldgate as “The Fitzhubert Residence”.

    The only time I have found this problem is while I am importing images, either the folder I am trying to rename or even another.

    Hello Julie. Great results. I've been looking for a penlight, for light painting. However most of the ones I see have a very wide been. And very few allow filling the light . Do you have a suggestion ? Alternatively, Does this one really compensate for the price of the kit? I mean does it really increase control ? One last: do you use an app to monitor the advancement of the light painting, or do you just feel through it? Or possibly, do you stack images for the different areas lit separately? Since you mentioned an Nd filter I wonder if I have been going for "too short" exposures , making things much harder and every mistake more pronounced. Thank you and cheers from France.
