Kp7 | Kodak Portra 400UC

The Portra 400UC preset (KP7) is inspired by the look of expired film, softening its otherwise ultra-saturated colors into a more faded, subdued aesthetic.

Kp8 | Kodak Portra 800

The Kodak Portra 800 preset (KP8) features rich colors with natural tones and a slight warmth that enhances low-light scenes. Its soft contrast gives it a distinctly cinematic feel. Overexposure increases saturation, while underexposed shots result in faded shadows with mellow contrast.

Kp9 | Kodak Portra 100t

The Portra 100T preset (KP9) is perfect for indoor settings with tungsten lighting, offering cool, accurate colors that feel natural and polished. This low-contrast, blue-tinted Portra preset is ideal for events or scenes lit by incandescent bulbs, but it’s also worth experimenting with in a variety of conditions for a more distinct look.
