A-Series Modern Classic | AGC Analog Grain & Color for Lightroom & Mobile

$9.95

Raw, organic, and authentically analog.

The AGC (Analog Grain & Color) is the specialized "master-grade" within the A-Series. This is the Authentic Film Scan essential—designed for the photographer who wants to bridge the gap between digital precision and the unpredictable beauty of a chemical darkroom. AGC is characterized by its heavy micro-contrast, unique color-crossover in the shadows, and a sophisticated grain structure that mimics high-ISO 35mm film. It is the perfect choice for raw portraiture, documentary photography, and gritty fashion editorials where the goal is a look that feels "tangible" and hand-printed.

The Preset Explained

AGC | The Analog Grade: A high-character, high-texture grade with a signature "Lab-Scan" finish. This preset delivers a dense tonal range where the colors feel "baked-in" rather than layered on top. It features a unique shift in the green and blue channels, creating that sought-after analog color science where highlights lean warm and shadows have a cool, gritty depth.

    • Micro-Contrast Texture AGC enhances the small details in your image—skin texture, fabric weaves, and environmental grit—giving it a tactile feel that digital cameras often smooth out.

    • Complex Color Crossover It introduces subtle green/teal shifts in the shadows that perfectly contrast with warm mid-tones, creating a sophisticated "cross-processed" hint without being overwhelming.

    • Organic Film Grain The grain in AGC isn't just "noise"; it's a calibrated overlay that interacts with the light and dark areas of your photo just like silver halides on film.

    • Authentic Matte Finish It lifts the absolute blacks just enough to give the photo a "printed" look while keeping the overall contrast punchy and powerful.

    • 1x AGC Analog Grain & Color Preset for Lightroom MOBILE (DNG file for iOS & Android).

    • 1x AGC Analog Grain & Color Preset for Lightroom DESKTOP (XMP file for Mac & Windows).

    • Easy Step-by-Step Installation Guide.

  • This preset captures the aesthetic of professional "Press" films like Fujifilm Superia or Kodak Ultramax when pushed in development. It is the professional answer for those who want their work to feel raw, honest, and unpolished. By emulating the characteristic "halide" grain structure and the slightly imperfect color reproduction of drugstore film scans celebrated for their nostalgic grit AGC ensures your photos possess an unmistakable analog weight. It transforms digital files into frames that look like they were pulled from a shoebox of negatives found in an attic.

    • The Foundation: AGC works best with "real-life" subjects—street scenes, candid portraits, or unposed lifestyle moments.

    • Apply AGC: Watch as your clean digital file takes on a heavy, soulful analog character with rich texture.

    • Control the Grain: If the look is too "gritty" for a specific portrait, use the Grain Removal tool from the Toolkit to find the right balance.

    • Saturation Check: AGC is a high-color preset. Use the Vibrance slider to pull back if the colors feel too "electric" for your specific lighting.
