Harman Phoenix Film - Free Preset for Lightroom

When Harman announced Phoenix 200 as one of the first new film stocks in years, people got very excited. The phoenix, a mythical bird reborn continuously from ashes, was a fitting name for the new film as it is a symbol of the rebirth from ruin. The film photography industry was lying in ruins up until a few years ago when it experienced rebirth of its own.

Kodak Portra 400 v2 - Free Preset for Lightroom

Portra 400 is arguably the most loved film stock of the decade, and it isn’t hard to understand why. The Portra colors are beautiful and it is a very versatile film. Unfortunately, with the price of film inflating considerably (usually over $20/roll), Kodak Portra 400 has become difficult to afford. This Lightroom preset was made with the goal of helping people enjoy the Portra 400 colors without spending 50 to 75 cents per shot

Luke’s Kodak Ektar 100 - Free Preset

Please enjoy this free Lightroom preset based on Kodak's Ektar 100 film. This is my interpretation of the famously saturated Ektar colors. This preset can be applied to most photos as a final edit, and I did my best to create it with a color balance that doesn't require further editing. The sample photos were taken with my Sigma FP and Ricoh GR III.

Americana Provia Film - Free Lightroom Preset

Being inspired by Fujifilm Provia’s realistic and slightly muted colors, I set out with my Olympus Pen-F, Ricoh GR III, and Sigma FP to produce a film simulation preset that would capture the heat of the summer sun and and haze of the swelteringly June days.

Portra Soft Green for Fuji X100VI and Olympus Pen-F - Free Lightroom Preset

I took my Olympus Pen-F to the park in Albania to work on a new preset called Portra Soft Green. The summer rain has brought out the greenery, the roses, and some marvelous flowering pink trees (I don’t know their name), and I needed a good Lightroom preset to capture the scenes. Portra Soft Green gives a matte color to the greens and allows contrasting colors to shine through.

Luke’s Fujifilm Pro 400H Film Simulation - Free Lightroom Preset

Having reviewed dozens of images taken with Fujifilm’s Pro 400H film stock, I’ve really grown to love the colors. I’ve been experimenting with recreating the look in Lightroom and I wanted to share my results. The film stock has been hard to match due to the fact that many of the modern sample images were taken on expired film, which results in a variety of color shifts, saturations, and white balances.

Luke’s Natura 1600 Film - Free Lightroom Preset

I’ve been working on a Lightroom preset inspired by Fujifilm Natura 1600. I can’t exactly describe what draws me to the colors of this film stock, but I’ve been enamored by it recently. I generally don’t like green tints in my images, but Natura 1600 seems to render them in a pleasant way. With the price of film sky-rocketing, and the used camera market being as hot as it is, I thought it was time to make a free preset to give people the vibes of some classic films without the expense.

Fuji Color Negative Film- Preset for Lightroom

Lately, I’ve been trying out some of the internet’s free presets for Adobe Lightroom, especially those that use “Fujifilm” like colors. Some of them have been delightful, but most of them haven’t fit my editing style, so I decided to create my own. My preset is called Fuji Color Negative Film. It takes some inspiration from the Negative Film picture profile built into the Ricoh GR III.

Fujifilm Cool Chrome Film- Free Preset for Lightroom

Another day of experimenting in Lightroom has brought forth another preset for your enjoyment. This preset was originally named Guam 200, because many of the photos were taken on the island of Guam, but I renamed it for the sake of SEO and search friendliness. This preset is slightly desaturated with medium contrast. I also adjusted a few of the tone curves, adding magenta to the shadows and a bit of yellow to the highlights.

Luke’s Kodak ColorPlus 200 - Free Preset for Lightroom

The other day I came across some sample photos from a film stock I had never explored, Kodak ColorPlus 200. I found the photos on Lomography’s website and really liked them. Kodak’s own website appears to have forgotten the film stock. All we know is that it was a color negative film based on old VR films. In this article you’ll find a link to my free Lightroom preset based off ColorPlus.
