About Kodak Kodachrome 25

At ISO 25 this demanded bright light or a tripod, which is why K64 outsold it. Photographers who used it describe a sharpness no later film matched.

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.
