Want presets for any style? Get the Agfa Vista 100 Film Look in Lightroom
“My pro tip: Vista 100’s cool palette works best in natural and overcast light. In warm golden-hour light the presets can look slightly desaturated, if that happens, nudge the white balance warmer by 200-300K before applying.” – Richard
Agfa Vista 100 Presets for Any Photo Style
Agfa Vista 100 was a consumer color negative film (C-41, ISO 100) with a color signature that stood apart from its American competitors. Where Kodak Gold pushed warm and amber, Vista 100 ran cooler. Blues came through cleanly, greens were rich, and the overall palette had a slightly European character that made it popular with street and travel photographers who wanted punchy color without the warmth push.
It was a budget film that outperformed its price point, which is part of why it built a following. Agfa discontinued it in 2005.

Film Simulation Presets
Vista 100 natural
Standard Vista 100 rendering. Punchy color with a slightly cool cast. Blues and greens sit forward, reds stay controlled. The closest match to what the film looked like correctly exposed in daylight.
Vista 100 vivid
Pushes Vista 100’s saturation further. The cool bias becomes more pronounced. Works best on travel, street, and landscape shots with strong color in the scene.
Vista 100 cool
Shifts the palette further toward blue-cyan. Accentuates Vista 100’s natural tendency. Good for overcast light or scenes where you want the saturation without any warmth.
Vista 100 warm
Counteracts the film’s natural cool bias with an amber push. Brings Vista 100 closer to the Kodak Gold rendering. Works well on portraits and golden-hour shots.
Vista 100 pulled
Simulates pulling the film one stop. Softer contrast, more open shadows, slightly lower saturation. Good on bright outdoor scenes where the Natural preset reads too punchy.
Vista 100 pushed
Simulates pushing. Increases contrast and deepens shadows. Works on flat or underexposed images that need more tonal separation.
Vista 100 flat
Lifted blacks, reduced contrast. Gives the Vista 100 palette a matte, faded finish while keeping the cool color character.
Vista 100 balance
A corrective starting preset. Use it to set exposure and white balance before applying another Vista variant on top.

Agfa Vista 100 was a consumer color negative film rated at ISO 100, sold in standard 35mm format and in disposable cameras across Europe through the 1990s and early 2000s. It was positioned as an affordable everyday film, not a professional stock, but its color rendering developed a following beyond its price point.
What made it stand out was the palette. Vista 100 ran cooler than comparable consumer films like Kodak Gold, with blues and greens rendering more prominently than reds. The result was vivid but not warm, a slightly European color character that suited street, travel, and candid photography. It handled overexposed and underexposed shots reasonably well for a budget film, with wide exposure latitude by consumer film standards.
Agfa discontinued Vista 100 in 2005.
Key facts:
- Film type: Color negative (C-41 process)
- ISO rating: 100
- Format: 35mm
- Color character: Cool palette, strong blues and greens, controlled reds
- Exposure latitude: Wide for an ISO 100 consumer film
- Best for: Street, travel, portraits, everyday photography
- Discontinued: 2005
These Agfa Vista 100 Presets recreate the look of an ISO 100 color negative film with a distinctly cool, punchy color palette. Here’s what to know:
- They work in Lightroom Desktop and Lightroom Mobile for Android and iPhone.
- RAW files give the best results. The cool color character of Vista 100 shows more clearly on RAW than JPEG.
- Vista 100 had wide exposure latitude for a consumer film, the presets handle a reasonable range of exposures without breaking down. Still, severely overexposed or underexposed files will show the limitations.
- The cool palette can pull skin tones slightly toward pink or neutral. If you’re shooting portraits, check skin after applying and add a small amount of warmth in the white balance or HSL panel if needed.
- The Warm variant is specifically designed for this, it counteracts Vista 100’s natural cool bias and works better for skin-heavy images.

Raquel T. –
Amazing colors! So happy.
Eduardo R. –
Great presets for achieving a nostalgic look, they just makes my photos look better. Thanks
Logan P. –
They really nail the vintage consumer film aesthetic. I use the presets now for my daily life pictures. Happy with the purchase!
Damian A. –
I shoot a lot of street photography and wanted something with more character than the usual clean, punchy presets. This one delivers exactly that faded, warm Agfa look, slightly green in the shadows, golden in the highlights. Used it on a whole roll’s worth of digital shots from a weekend downtown and every single one had that nostalgic film feel without looking gimmicky.

Ok so I’ve never bought a preset before, always just messed around with sliders myself and never got anywhere close to this. One click and my beach photos suddenly look like they’re from a summer in like 1998. Kind of obsessed now.
