The "Pro" version includes a custom plugin panel that installs into Lightroom. This is the software’s strongest selling point. It allows users to apply the film look non-destructively and adjust specific "film attributes" that standard Lightroom sliders cannot easily achieve.

RNI All Films 5 Pro is a collection of over 180 professional film-simulating profiles for Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, designed to replicate the aesthetic of real analog film through advanced color science. Unlike standard presets that move your software's adjustment sliders, these are profile-based, meaning they apply sophisticated color and tonal transformations behind the scenes, leaving your manual sliders untouched for further creative control. Key Features and Capabilities
Profile-Based Workflow: Uses Adobe's Camera Profiles to apply film looks, allowing you to adjust the "Amount" or strength of the effect natively from 0% to 200%.
Film-Like Highlight Compression: Intelligently prevents highlight clipping, ensuring smooth roll-offs in bright areas similar to how negative film handles overexposure.
RAW & JPEG Support: Optimized for RAW files to recover hidden data but includes dedicated styles for JPEG and TIFF workflows.
Non-Destructive Editing: Does not alter original photo data; all edits can be reverted or synced via Creative Cloud to Lightroom Mobile for editing on iOS or Android. Included Film Categories
The Pro pack is divided into five main categories, offering both "Clean" and "Grainy" versions for most looks: Pro | Real Film Looks for Lightroom - RNI All Films 5
How does RNI rank against the "top" competitors (Mastin Labs, VSCO, C1 Film Styles)?
| Feature | RNI All Films 5 Pro | Mastin Labs | VSCO (Legacy) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Number of Stocks | 90+ | 30+ | 60+ | | Grain Engine | AI-Based (5 Pro specific) | Static | Outdated | | Skin Tones | Excellent (Neutral/Salmon) | Excellent (Warm) | Poor (Magenta/Orange) | | Photoshop Support | Full ACR Profiles | Limited | None | | Price/Value | Top Value | Expensive | Discontinued |
Verdict: Mastin Labs is better for pure Kodak portraiture, but RNI wins for variety and Photoshop integration. If you shoot street, B&W, or landscape, RNI is the top choice.
