DxO announces FilmPack 8: A leap forward in film emulation

DxO has officially released DxO FilmPack 8, the latest version of its premier film emulation software. Designed for photographers who want to merge the authenticity of analog with the flexibility of digital, this new release introduces groundbreaking features, expanded film options, and deeper integration with popular editing tools.

Time Warp Mode: Photography through the ages

Building on the popular Time Machine archive, FilmPack 8 introduces Time Warp Mode, offering photographers two unique ways to explore history through their own images.

Time Travel slider – Apply authentic film looks spanning 200 years of photographic history, from early daguerreotypes to iconic 35mm film stocks. Each look includes period-accurate grain, color shifts, and characteristic degradations.
Ageify slider – Progressively age or distress your images, using faithfully recreated film effects to evoke nostalgia and atmosphere.

This innovation transforms photo editing into a storytelling experience, giving photographers new ways to explore the evolution of photography.

Full Photoshop integration

For the first time, DxO FilmPack integrates directly with Adobe Photoshop, allowing photographers to access the entire library of film renderings without leaving their workspace. Combined with existing compatibility with DxO PhotoLab and Adobe Lightroom Classic, this makes FilmPack 8 one of the most versatile creative tools on the market.

Expanded Film Library: 15 new renderings

FilmPack 8 introduces 15 new analog film renderings, developed using laboratory-grade measurements of original film stocks. Highlights include:

CineStill 800T – A cinematic low-light classic
Harman Phoenix 200 – A vibrant newcomer with distinctive grain
Lady Grey B&W 120 ISO 400 – A sophisticated monochrome option
Kodak TMAX Pro 3200 – Ultra-sensitive black-and-white with strong character

With these additions, FilmPack 8 now offers 153 authentic film renderings, making it the most comprehensive collection of faithfully reproduced analog styles available.

The new Scanned Film Optimization tool streamlines working with home-scanned film. With one click, photographers can invert negatives and apply over 10 tone curve presets to correct common issues like color shifts or density problems.

Additionally, the Time Machine experience has been expanded with 17 new historical images and a themed portrait browsing mode, offering new perspectives on photography’s legacy.

Digital camera renderings and high-resolution effects

While rooted in analog aesthetics, FilmPack 8 also introduces four new renderings inspired by Fujifilm and Sony digital cameras, replicating their distinctive color science and tonal characteristics.

Furthermore, all creative effects — including textures, frames, and light leaks — have been re-rendered at high resolution to match today’s ultra-high-megapixel sensors, ensuring clarity in both digital and print formats.
