What this look does
Foliage renders bright white while skies go near-black. Highlights bleed with a pronounced halo because the film had no anti-halation backing. Grain is heavy and contrast extreme.

About Kodak HIE Infrared
HIE had to be loaded in total darkness and focused with an infrared correction mark on the lens. Nothing else looks like it, and no current film fully reproduces it. Try this one with the halation slider raised.
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.
