01 / A BETTER RHYTHM

One good frame.
A whole roll in sync.

Less repeating yourself. More time with your photographs. Roll brings the little decisions together, without making them for you.

01

Bring in your scans.

Open a RAW, TIFF or JPEG. Keep your originals just as they are.

02

Find your starting point.

Sample the film base. Try Auto colour, then fine-tune the details that make it yours.

03

Let the whole roll follow.

Sync your reference settings across a roll, keep individual edits, and export.

02 / A PLACE TO START

Your colour.
With room to play.

Auto keeps your calibration and edits. Auto colour offers a fresh channel balance when the film base alone isn’t enough. Then exposure, curves, white balance and saturation are yours to explore.

  • Non-destructive settings and undo
  • Film-base sampling and crop controls
  • Full-resolution export from your original
