Faux Film
Faux Film attempts to give video or digital images the look of photographic film.
It reduces contrast, creates a soft mist around highlights and adds film grain.
1 Apply Faux Film from the Film Lab category.
2 Select the Magnifier tool in the Viewer.
When the Magnifier is selected, a portion of the image is displayed at a 1:1 pixel
ratio in the Magnifier window and shows the actual pixels of the image with the
Faux Film filter applied. The Magnifier will accurately represent what the Faux
Film filter will look like when applied to the full size image.
3 Try out some of the presets.
4 If the Parameters window is not showing, click the Parameters tab at the bottom
of the Presets window.

to be used for the selection.
