Turning Digital Photos into Film? Dehancer vs Kodak Gold 200 Review

Can digital photos ever truly look like film? In this video, I test the Dehancer plugin for Lightroom against a real roll of Kodak Gold 200 shot on my Minolta SRT with a 50mm lens. Using the same lens on my Sony a7IV, I compare side by side to see if Dehancer can turn digital photos into the warm, timeless look of real film.

Dehancer promises film emulation without the hassle—no mailing, no scanning, no waiting. But can it really capture the organic tones, rich shadows, and golden warmth of Kodak Gold 200? Watch as I take shots from New York City to Charleston, WV, putting Dehancer head-to-head with real film.
