Description
Fuji Provia 100F was one of the last films to be discontinued in 2013, making it a relatively modern film compared to some of the other films featured here. It was designed as an all-around film that didn’t cater to a particular style but aimed to perform well in any situation. Due to its modernity and close similarity to digital photography, it can be challenging to discern the aesthetic differences between the film and digital photography.
While Provia 100F didn’t add a particular character to photos, it was a technical film that aimed to maximize contrast while maintaining accurate tones. To recreate this, I broke down the areas of dynamic range that the film worked on the most and applied my methods to recreate its effects.
In short, this LUT adds the ideal amount of film contrast while removing some of the surface digital color, making it suitable for Provia fans who want to enhance their photos. I’ve used this LUT along with other LUTs, letting other LUTs apply for color while using the Provia 100F for its luminosity.
If you’re a Provia fan looking to take it up a notch, the 400X version may be worth checking out for slightly more impact, as it tends to saturate images a bit more. However, there’s no need to own both the 100F and the 400X, as they are only 2%-3% different from each other.

Full disclosure: I use this with DxO Photolab 7, not Photoshop. It works perfectly fine.
Of all the ANDP LUTs, this is perhaps the most useful. I apply this at anywhere from 25%-40% opacity after normal RAW processing for a nice, polished final image. It adds an impeccable tonality and color rendering that looks very clean while also minimizing the clinical appearance of digital files. If you’re thinking of trying out any of these LUTs, this is where I would start, followed by the Kodachrome 25 set.

Thank you very much for your review, Michael! What you described seems like the optimal use of the grade, very happy to accommodate!
