LensNode FAQ

Do you offer a trial or demo version of LensNode?

Yes! Go to the Buy page to access the trial.

Is LensNode available for any other Capture One or Lightroom?

Not at this stage. We hear you though! We want to make LensNode available on as many platforms as we can, it just takes time and a lot of work!

Will LensNode eventually include <insert lens here> as a part of its lens library?

We want it to include as many lenses as we can get our hands on, so hopefully! As for how many lenses we add, it really is driven by demand and what our customers want. We will see where that journey takes us as time goes on.

Does LensNode work with the free version of DaVinci Resolve?

Yes! It does.

How do I actually download, install and use the plugin?

Check out the Getting Started Guide for a step-by-step walkthrough of how to get up and running with LensNode.

What lenses does LensNode currently simulate?

Have a look at the Lens Library to see the current list of lenses that we have profiles for. We are adding more all the time!

Do you have plans to integrate X new feature or Y lens characteristic?

Yes, many. If you have any suggestions, support us by purchasing the plugin and let us know in our Discord or via email! Ultimately, we want LensNode to provide users with many many options and tools.

Are real lenses being used to make the lens profiles for LensNode?

Yes, we use a specialised method of capturing imagery with real lenses that we then do our best to simulate with the features LensNode has. Of course, this is simulation, and doesn’t remove the need for real-world lenses, not does it match them absolutely 1:1, but we think there are quite a few great use cases for lens simulation, plus it’s heaps of fun!

What does LensNode do? I can’t see the difference.

If you can’t really tell the difference between before and after using LensNode, this plugin is probably not for you. Lens characteristics in the real world are subtle. Maybe more subtle than some would lead you to believe. If anything, LensNode provides you with the ability to make those characteristics more obvious than they otherwise would be on a real lens. Look a bit closer and with more scrutiny if you’re strugging to see the difference. We promise, it’s there!
