What this look does
Strong, clean saturation with deep blues and vivid reds, high microcontrast and almost no visible grain. Skin tones can go ruddy, which is exactly why it is a landscape film and not a portrait one.

About Kodak Ektar 100
Marketed as the finest-grained colour negative film in the world at launch. Ektar behaves more like Velvia than like Portra, but keeps the highlight latitude of a negative — the reason many photographers use it where slide film would clip.
Included renderings
In Filmgrid each rendering carries its own name. The exposure and temperature labels describe how it differs from the base look.

How to use this LUT
The download is a standard .cube 3D LUT, so it loads in almost anything: Lightroom Classic (Profile → Browse), Photoshop (Color Lookup adjustment layer), Premiere Pro (Lumetri → Creative), DaVinci Resolve (LUTs panel), Final Cut Pro (Custom LUT effect), Affinity Photo, Capture One and OBS. See the step-by-step guide if you have not loaded one before.
If you only want the finished picture, skip the download: open the tool, drop a photo in and export at full resolution. Nothing leaves your device.
