About this tool

When you keep reaching for the same two or three stocks, a little chance can shake things up. Click the picker and it randomly draws a film stock from the database and hands you a suggestion. It is a low-stakes way to break your routine and try an emulsion you might never have loaded on your own.

How to use it

  1. Open the random film picker.
  2. Click to draw a stock at random from the database.
  3. Read the suggested film stock it returns.
  4. Pick again if you want a different suggestion.

FAQ

Where do the suggestions come from?

They are drawn at random from the film stocks in this site's database, so every pick is a real emulsion you can go and find rather than an invented name.

Can I keep drawing until I like one?

Yes. Each click is independent, so you can pick again as many times as you like until a suggestion catches your eye or nudges you out of your usual habits.
