GlowNo. 01
Halation that behaves like light.
The warm red-orange ring that forms when bright light scatters back through the film base. It hugs highlights and practicals, never the whole frame.

Stacked in physical order: glass (the lens), then glow (the film base), then grain (the emulsion).
A quick sketch of each texture, running in your browser. Drag the image to compare. The real tools run on your Mac's GPU, in real time.
One suite · Every texture inside
Glow. Grain. Glass.
Three textures at launch, each one deep and built from how light, film and glass really behave. Controls are in real units, so you dial in exactly how much.
GrainNo. 02
Grain lives on the film, not in the scene.
Exposure-responsive grain with separate red, green and blue layers, sized by film format and ISO. Animated on video, rendered at full resolution on stills.

GlassNo. 03
Diffusion you'd normally screw onto the lens.
Mist, black mist, glimmer and satin styles built from measured filter falloff, with highlight and skin protection. On the timeline and on your stills.

For hybrid shooters
Your stills and your footage, on the same film.
Texture is the last step, after the edit and after the grade. LightForm runs in Premiere Pro and, through Lightroom Classic, on your photos, with the same engine, the same controls and the same looks. Build a look on a clip, apply it to the stills from the same shoot.

Questions, answered
Before you ask.
When will LightForm be ready?
It's in development and testing now. Join the list and you'll be the first to hear when it's ready, along with any launch offer.
Which apps does it work in?
Premiere Pro, as real-time effects on your timeline, and Lightroom Classic, through LightForm's photo editor (Edit In ▸ LightForm). Photoshop support is planned.
Mac only? What about Windows or DaVinci Resolve?
LightForm launches on Apple silicon Macs. Windows and Resolve come once enough people ask, so tick "Windows or Resolve: tell me when" in the form and we'll count you in.
Is this film emulation, or a set of presets?
Neither. LightForm doesn't sell film stocks or colour. It adds texture on top of whatever grade, LUT, Sony look or Fuji film simulation you already use, and you dial it in with real controls: stops, ISO, film format, filter strength.
Will it slow down my timeline?
The textures run on your Mac's GPU and are built to play back in real time. They're resolution-independent too, so a 1080p proxy and a 4K master look the same.
How will it be priced?
One suite, one price, paid once. Every texture is included. We'll share the details with the list first.
