About Polaroid Px-70

When Polaroid stopped making instant film in 2008, the Impossible Project bought the last factory and had to reinvent the chemistry from scratch. The early films were unstable and colour-shifted as they developed — the cold and warm variants here reproduce that spread rather than a single correct rendering.

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.
