November Preset: An old roll of Kodak Gold I found

Added 2023-12-03 10:35:13 +0000 UTC

Happy December, I hope you're having a decent end of the year! :)

The last weeks of November were a bit intense with the big project, the Kodak spec-ad and the behind the scenes, that I published yesterday. Therefore I just couldn't get around to making the Patreon-goods on time, I'm sorry about that!

Anyway the preset I had prepared for you in November is another "an old roll of..." type of preset, this time Kodak Gold. I made this with the intention of simulating a faded warm look that you might get from an expired roll of Kodak Gold. The blacks in this preset are a bit faded, the whites too and the shadows are really warm. All of this gives the photograph quite a nostalgic look I find, I hope you like it :)

I think this preset really shines in sunny photographs but can still be effectively applied in pretty much any lighting situation.

Please note, a preset is not a one-click solution to photo editing, however very close to it. All the examples you see here were edited by applying the preset and then only tweaking three parameters: The exposure, the white balance and the tint - that is all. Those three are the crucial settings that vary from photo to photo and therefore it is important that you tweak those after applying the preset. I've added my changes below each example for your reference.

I hope you enjoy using it! :)
