Description
Our Kodak Portra 400 LUT, along with the Kodak Portra 160 LUT and Kodak Portra 800 LUT, are all accurate reproductions of how Portra film can work in general.
While the Portra 160 LUT mildly desaturates images, the Portra 400 LUT tends to bring a more neutral color palette that looks more saturated yet balanced. It’s perfect for those seeking an alternative to digital photography but with a Portra-like palette. However, the Portra 160 LUT may be a better choice for those looking for a slightly more pronounced desaturation effect.
On the other hand, the Portra 800 LUT tends to produce more saturated skin tones and is a better option for colorists seeking more saturated skin tones while still maintaining fine control over skin tones.
Whether you choose the Kodak Portra 400 LUT, Kodak Portra 160 LUT, or Kodak Portra 800 LUT, you’ll get an accurate reproduction of Portra film’s signature look, allowing you to achieve the same aesthetic in your digital photos.

Full disclosure: I’m not using these LUTs in Photoshop. Instead, I’ve been experimenting with them in DxO Photolab 7. I apply them to my images towards the end of my workflow at around 35% opacity.
Kodak Portra 400 is one of my favorites to use for portraits and summery scenes. At 35% opacity, it adds just enough lightness in the shadows and warmth to the highlights to reproduce the feeling of lying in the grass on a sunny day. I also enjoy the extra boost it provides to saturated skin tones.
I consider Portra 400, Kodachrome 25, and Provia 100F essentials from this collection. I’m very impressed with what I’ve been able to accomplish with these LUTs.

Thank you once again, Michael! Good to also know that the LUTs are working well with DxO Photolab too!
