Is it possible to do this? Copy some JPGS to the D800's CF or SD card? I tried to do this but the PC wouldn't allow me to save. I also tried copying the files to card via an external reader, but the camera won't recognize the images. Why would I want to do this? I want to place some inspirational ideas into my camera so that rather than whipping out my phone during a session, I can just look at the LCD of my camera. 'Cos it looks better from a client perspective :-).

<p>Bill - thanks, hard to say how the lab scans were handled with the backlit shots. You could very well be right!</p>

<p>Peter - looking to see if that look can be obtained in an all analog workflow. The only digital would be to scan the completed print if a photographer wanted to share it on the internet. It really isn't just playing with contrast and exposure, there's significant color work as well. Johnny Patience has done a nice writeup on it, breaking it down for a digital workflow. http://www.johnnypatience.com/jose-villa-colors/<br> But, perhaps the question is unfair. It is difficult to answer without comparables - as in, sending the negatives to Richard Photo Lab for scan using Jose's colors, and then optical printing them on my own. Then, scanning those in and complaining about how crappy my optical prints look compared to the RPL scans :-). OK, I'll do just that. Might take a while to burn through my roll of Fuji though...</p>

<p>Heh, apologies, I assumed everyone was familiar with it :-). Here are a couple. Many more can be found on his blog - http://josevillablog.com/</p> <p> http://www.100layercakelet.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/jose-villa-family-shoot-4.jpg </p> <p> http://www.oncewed.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/jose-villa-photography.jpg </p>

<p>For better or for worse, in the past few years wedding shooters all over have adopted (or imitated) the look that Jose Villa made popular - you know, the overexposed Fuji Pro 400H look. I posit that this look is as much a digital artifact as it is an analog artifact. It's a very difficult look to get without a properly set Noritsu or Frontier scanner - someone with a home scanner might be able to pull it off but only after tons of fiddling in photoshop.<br> So...am I wrong? Is it possible to get that look with an optical printing process? Would be interested to hear if anyone was able to do this. </p>
