Agfa introduced Precisa CT 100 as a daylight-balanced chrome slide film rated at ISO 100. Developed in E-6 chemistry, it produced extremely fine grain, high resolution, and color that was vivid but not artificially saturated, closer to natural scene rendition than Fujichrome Velvia, less clinical than Kodak Ektachrome.

But Precisa CT 100’s reputation was built as much on cross-processing as on its standard E-6 behavior. Cross-processing, developing an E-6 slide film in C-41 color negative chemistry, produces unpredictable but often dramatic results. With Precisa CT 100, the color dyes shifted in a consistent direction: high contrast, compressed midtones, cyan-blue in the shadows, warm in the highlights.

The look became associated with editorial and fashion work through the 1990s and early 2000s and is still referenced as a color reference by photographers who never shot the film. For a detailed real-world assessment, see this Agfa Precisa CT 100 review.

Agfa discontinued Precisa CT 100 in 2005.

Key facts:

• Film type: Chrome slide film (reversal)
• ISO rating: 100
• Process: E-6 (standard); widely cross-processed in C-41
• Grain structure: Extremely fine
• Exposure latitude: Narrow, typical of reversal film; precise exposure required
• Color character: Vivid and natural in E-6; high contrast, color-shifted when cross-processed
• iscontinued: 2005

These Agfa Precisa CT 100 Presets recreate the look of an ISO 100 slide film, both its natural E-6 character and its cross-processed variants. Here’s what to know:

• They work in Lightroom Desktop and Lightroom Mobile for Android and iPhone.
• RAW files give the best results. Precisa CT 100 was a high-resolution film and the fine grain and tonal detail that made it distinctive comes through more clearly on RAW than JPEG.
• Slide film has narrow exposure latitude, unlike negative film, it doesn’t handle overexposure or underexposure well. These presets behave the same way. Start with a well-exposed image. An image that’s two stops over will not respond the same as one that’s correctly exposed.
• The Vivid and Cool variants lean toward the cross-process look. If the color shift is too strong, pull the saturation slider back before adjusting anything else.
• Pulled works well on bright outdoor shots where the contrast of the Natural preset feels too harsh. Pushed works well on flat or overcast scenes that need more separation.
• The Balance preset is designed to be used first on difficult exposures, before layering another Precisa preset on top.
