This recipe recreates the bold, flexible look of Kodak UltraMax 400, combining the warm, golden highlights of Gold 200 with vivid, cyan-leaning blues and punchy primary colors. Using a Pop-based profile, it delivers high contrast, sharp detail, and rich, saturated tones while preserving the film’s characteristic consumer-film texture.

Slightly elevated ISO and disabled noise reduction emulate UltraMax’s noticeable grain, and carefully tuned white balance adds warmth to highlights while keeping skies and shadows crisp and cyan-leaning. Optimized for both daylight and indoor lighting, this preset produces lively, dynamic colors with a nostalgic, analog feel.
