Retrofi Film Emulation PowerGrades for Davinci Resolve
 https://retrofi.co/products/retrofi-film-emulation-powergrades-for-davinci-resolve
  • Retrofi – A Film Emulation Toolkit for DaVinci Resolve. A meticulously crafted suite of cinematic looks, designed entirely within DaVinci Resolve. Free of third-party plugins or dependencies, it leverages native PowerGrades and LUTs to authentically replicate the enduring character of analog film. Drawing inspiration from legendary stocks — Kodak 500T, 250D, AGFA, Portra 400, and even the charming unpredictability of expired film — each emulation is offered in both 16mm and 35mm variants, allowing filmmakers to tailor their aesthetic with precision. From verdant shadows and sunlit amber tones to delicate halation and organic texture, Retrofi transforms digital footage into imagery that evokes the tactile beauty of celluloid.


What’s Included 

 PowerGrades Inspired by Iconic Film Stocks
Retrofi includes looks based on Kodak 500T, Kodak 250D, AGFA, Portra 400, and the beautifully unpredictable charm of expired film — each one available in both 16mm and 35mm versions. These PowerGrades are built with layered tonal response curves, accurate skin tone rendering, soft highlight rolloff, and deep, cinematic shadows — all adjustable and intuitive.

 Real 35mm & 16mm Grain Overlays
This isn’t digital noise. Retrofi includes high-resolution grain plates scanned from real film. The grain breathes, moves, and shifts frame by frame — subtly reactive to light, never static, never fake. Choose between fine or rough textures, apply per channel, and dial in just the right amount of character.

 Halation & Bloom Simulation
Digital sensors can’t replicate the glow of film. Retrofi can. A dedicated halation engine recreates the red-orange bloom around highlights and light sources — just like light scattering inside celluloid. The result is soft, nostalgic, and emotionally evocative.

 Dynamic Color Response Models
Where LUTs flatten color, Retrofi brings it to life. Each look is built around a responsive color model that adapts to exposure and lighting — simulating how real film behaves. Whether under daylight or tungsten, your colors will shift organically, just as they would on stock.

 On-Set Monitoring LUTs
Know your look before you shoot. Load Retrofi LUTs into your camera or monitor so your footage is framed, lit, and exposed with your final look in mind — no surprises in post, no guesswork on set.

 Cinematic User Guide (PDF)
Retrofi includes a beautifully designed guide that walks you through setup, application, and customization inside DaVinci Resolve. Whether you're just getting started or deep into grading, the guide keeps things practical, creative, and human.
