What this look does

Smooth, clean tonality with much less visible grain than Tri-X and a straighter, more linear response. Reads as modern and technical rather than classic.

About Kodak T-Max 400

T-grain crystals are flat and aligned rather than randomly shaped, capturing more light per unit of grain. The trade is character: T-Max looks cleaner and, to many photographers, less interesting.

Included renderings

In Filmgrid each rendering carries its own name. The exposure and temperature labels describe how it differs from the base look.

How to use this LUT

The download is a standard .cube 3D LUT, so it loads in almost anything: Lightroom Classic (Profile → Browse), Photoshop (Color Lookup adjustment layer), Premiere Pro (Lumetri → Creative), DaVinci Resolve (LUTs panel), Final Cut Pro (Custom LUT effect), Affinity Photo, Capture One and OBS. See the step-by-step guide if you have not loaded one before.

If you only want the finished picture, skip the download: open the tool, drop a photo in and export at full resolution. Nothing leaves your device.
