Couple of updates after publishing this video:
1) Dehancer Photo is currently macOS only (from what I understand a Windows version is forthcoming). I neglected to mention this in the video.
2) At the time of this review, Dehancer is only accepting payments via cryptocurrency. I was not aware of this prior to making this review, for the company provided me with a license (so I didn't go through their checkout process). Hopefully by the time you read this more purchasing options will be available again.
It also requires a dedicated GPU and won't run on older Macs (e.g. Intel Mac Mini).
I checked today, it's now working on Windows and Capture one. I expect the UI to be different from the Mac version, as usual, but I haven't had time to check this yet.
You explain complex topics better than any other photography focused channel I've come across. Thank you for you efforts!
Woohoo for Capture One support 🎉
I've heard of dehancer today for the first time in another video. Yours was a better explanation, including the names of the tools, and I also liked the passion you showed.
I like the idea of getting that analogue look with tools correctly named rather than just slapping some preset.
I'll make sure to check the rest of your content as well.
HI !
I just found your profile through this video. I really love your excitment and professional - informative style at the same time.
Thanks a lot for the great content :)
Todd, this was a very informative and inspirational video especially to those of us that have shot film and miss it!
Learned a lot from this video Todd! Thank you so much, and you further informations regarding films were so informative to me! Also listening to your teaching is really chill and comfortable to follow :)
Thanks for this! I was running into the muddy color problem!
Thanks Todd - Informative review. Quality work. Dehancer definitely got my attention :)
Amazing explanation as always. I love watching your videos!
Thanks! :)
This is such a comprehensive guide to dehancer photo!
I'm looking to create a video on the tool myself & I will most definitely reference to your video here.
Excellent video, Todd! Thank you, this explains so much about Dehancer.
thank you for this great introducing to dehancer :)
Very well explained sir. Thank you!
Another great video as always!
How does it compare to RNI Films?
Awesome walkthrough video! Not only did I fully learn how to use Dehancer, but learned a great deal about FIlm Stocks, really appreciate all the knowledge you shared man!
Glad it was helpful!
That was an excellent review! Wish I could explain film look as well as you do on my own TH-cam channel 😅
Thanks for this though, really informative!
Minor correction: I believe they suggest to bring the contrast down to 40 and the blacks up to 60. Not that this is critical, but I've noticed it's better when there's more wiggle room in the dark shadow region. They also recommend bringing the exposure down to bring the whites down (it gives a better result than dragging the highlights and whites.
Thanks for the great video talking about emulating film looks! May I know which one do you prefer to use between Denhancer and RNI films profile?
Interesting software, and great video .I've subscribed! Do you know how this compares to DXO or the original VSCO?
Nice
It’s a great plugin for sure the effects look convincing enough grain, bloom, halation etc but in terms of color RNI is much better, so i use them both combined. The results do turn out quite magical but still even using the very best emulation which is what this is it can only take as like 95% there compared to the real thing. Also I found when preparing the raw file prior to editing I skip the -1 exposure as suggested. Just keep it correctly exposed and -40 contrast +60 blacks.
Absolutely love Dehancer for street photography, landscape and artsy stuff but I'm having huge problems with skin tones and portraits. I just can't get it to look right... Any ideas?
Would you recommend over installing RNI profiles that you reviewed 3 years ago?
Thx for good video! Question, do you still use it? Also, can you edit raw files in Dehancer?
May I ask what functionality the check square option "Analogue Range Limiter" option in the Print section has?
Thanks, great review. Have you had a chance to compare this to the new DxO FilmPack 6 ? I wonder which one is better.
I’ve used FilmPack 5, which I assume is similar to 6. It has some nice film profiles that look great, but with more limited settings and features compared to Dehancer.
Also, wouldn't it be beneficial to open the photo in Photoshop first so that you can create a smart object and make tweaks if you are unhappy with the results?
In the description you might have stated this is currently Mac only.
Dear Derek, we're glad to inform you that our photo plug-in is now available for Windows ;)
If it had batch processing it would be perfect 😭
It doesn’t? oof!
Hi Todd. After watching your video I was excited to purchase this plug in. I did last week and used your discount code. The plug in for Lr isn’t working properly (very small text and UI menus over each other). It seems a problem with scaling. However the Ps plug in works fine which means there’s a problem with the Lr plug in not with my computer. I’m using a Dell XPS powerhouse designed for photographers with Win10. I contacted Dehancer support who asked for some info and then they never got back to me yet. No follow up. Very disappointing. I’m going to file a claim with PayPal and get my money back shortly.
Question: why does it need to be a Tiff rather than a PSD?
From Todd's blog:
"This is because images must be rasterized to apply special effects that aren’t technically possible in a raw processing workflow."
@@-ca-- Aren't PSDs rasterized images? Anyhow, it's not that important. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
Really don't mean to be rude - I love your work, but it looked so much more cohesive before FX
I always buy these things, use them for a month or two, then go back to my old ways😂
Hah - I can understand that. Sometimes they stick tho!
Dehancer Photo and several other apps are missing a big point of film. where are the options to add a speck of dust, a tiny film scratch and fixer stains?
Photograph catfish app. Shoot film if you want it to look like film. This is like waking up next to someone and realizing they aren't the person you thought they were.
I was hesitant to support Russian software right now given the global sanctions in spring 2022. After looking into views of the company founders on socials, they appear anti-war enough for me to feel okay supporting the product. Thank you for the terrific video.
it's important to know where they pay taxes
Dehancer moved business out of Russia already
mate cmon lol. either way, even if they've moved out of russia, if you are from any western country such as UK/US/France/Canada/Australia - then we should also be boycotting ourselves for endless bombings in the MENA regions, while still currently illegally occupying and stealing resources. never mind still never facing justice for war crimes for the past even 30 years, and still happening. i'm british, but economic sanctions never have worked anyway. it just is cruel to the citizens of a country, and us in the west at least have absolutely no moral authority to agree with sanctions before we bring ourselves to justice first. think we can all agree the war is awful and i wish it wasn't happening, but also try to critically think about the other points i've made.
@@stanislavrico if you're in the US or Western Europe you probably pay taxes somewhere nearly as bad. What's the casualty count on the Iraq war and Afghanistan?
@@LiamFarleyMA cause we don’t have Time Machine. Taxes to russia = funding of the ongoing aggression
