Film photography with warm Kodak Portra tones

Profiles built from
real film data

Every slider value traces back to a published Kodak or Fuji datasheet — characteristic curves, spectral sensitivity, grain structure.

We didn't eyeball these. We couldn't.

Methodology

The data does the work. You get the feeling.

Most preset makers eyeball their way to "close enough." We took the opposite approach — a system built on published data, not subjective tuning.

01

Study the Data

We start with the manufacturer's own data — Kodak's characteristic curves, Fuji's spectral sensitivity charts, published grain measurements. Not someone else's Instagram feed.

Primary sources: Kodak Publication E-4050, Fuji technical data sheets, published RMS granularity values.

02

Map to Parameters

Lifted black point? That's a tone curve. Warm shadow tint? Color grade. Every parameter in every preset has a documented reason.

Each value traces a chain: published datasheet → film characteristic → Lightroom parameter.

03

Generate from Code

Nobody hand-tweaks presets in Lightroom here. They're generated from code — built the same way every time, with no room for guesswork to creep in.

Change a parameter, rebuild, test. Repeatable by design.

04

Test Before Shipping

Every preset is scored against the published film data. Tone, color, grain — measured separately. Nothing ships below 80/100.

3,140 automated tests run before any release.

Subjective

  • Move sliders until it looks right
  • Match to reference photos found online
  • No record of why a value was chosen
  • Results depend on the maker's eye and monitor

FAQ

Common questions

What does "Beta" mean?
These profiles are experimental and evolving. The colour science is based on real film data, but we're still testing across cameras and lighting conditions.
What format are the profiles?
Enhanced profiles in .xmp format — they appear in Lightroom's Profile Browser with a clean Amount slider (0-200%). Video editors also get .cube LUT files for DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, and Final Cut. Bonus grain and vignette utility presets are included.
How do I install them?
In Lightroom (cloud desktop), open any photo, click the three-dot menu ••• at the top of the Presets panel, choose Import Presets, and select the ZIP. In Lightroom Classic, go to File > Import Profiles & Presets and select the ZIP. Either way, profiles appear in the Profile Browser and sync to mobile automatically.
Do they work with RAW and JPEG?
Yes. Every profile works with both. White balance behaves slightly differently on JPEGs, but the look translates.
What does "data-driven" mean?
Every profile parameter traces back to a published source — a Kodak datasheet, a Fuji spectral chart, a measured grain value. Nothing is set by feel.
Do they support the Amount slider?
Yes. Profiles have a built-in Amount slider from 0 to 200% — and unlike presets, they don't overwrite any of your slider adjustments.
Can I use these commercially?
Yes. Use the profiles on any photos — personal, client, editorial, commercial. You just can't redistribute the profile files.
What's the difference between a profile and a preset?
Profiles apply color transformations without touching any sliders — they sit underneath everything. Presets set sliders to fixed values and overwrite each other. Our profiles give you the film look as a foundation, then you adjust freely on top.
Why not just use VSCO or Mastin Labs?
They match by eye, ship presets that overwrite your sliders. We match by data and ship profiles that sit underneath your adjustments. Different path, better foundation.
