A comprehensive, versatile collection for Lightroom and ACR featuring 27 presets (all with both clean and analog varieties) and 9 creative profiles, covering 3 classic Kodachrome emulsions. From the iconic colours of the 1940s A.S.A 10 emulsion to the clean, bright Kodachrome 25 and 64 looks that defined the 1960s onwards, I’ve tried to capture the spirit of one of the world’s most beloved – and dearly missed – colour films.
We can’t promise it’s perfect (emulating an un-developable film from old slides is like trying to figure out the anatomy of a cow with only a hamburger for reference), but we really do feel like it gets closer to that ‘Kodachrome look’ than anything else in the digital realm.
Presets are work tools too, of course, so we always make sure they get subtle enough to use for almost anything (though with the option of some wild, dirty looks when you want em). My aim is to have presets that look just real, well-scanned film, but can also be dialled back to add a subtle bit of mojo or cranked up to get a really stylised, over-the-top grade. We hope you find these both useful and inspiring.
