What this look does
Rich, dense blacks with a slight teal lean, warm highlights and the characteristic S-curve contrast of a projected release print. Colour separation is strong but never garish.

About Kodak 2383 Print
Print stocks are the last step in the photochemical chain: the negative is printed onto them for projection, and they impose the contrast curve audiences associate with cinema. Emulating 2383 is the foundation of most "film look" grades in Resolve and Premiere. The three variants differ in how out-of-gamut colour is handled — constant-luminance clip and map preserve brightness differently, cusp clip trades saturation for detail.
Included renderings
In Filmgrid each rendering carries its own name. The exposure and temperature labels describe how it differs from the base look.
