Get 8 Portra 800 Film Simulation Presets
Portra 800 base – NC
Base is the standard Portra 800 rendering, warm skin tones, soft grain, built for shooting after the sun goes down.
Portra 800 vivid – VC
Vivid pushes the same base look further, richer color, deeper greens, more saturation for shots that need extra punch.
Portra 800 cool
Cool shifts the base toward blue, calmer skin tones, less amber in the highlights, built for daylight or shade.
Portra 800 warm
Warm leans harder into Portra 800’s glow, deeper amber skin, golden highlights, built for shooting into low sun.
Portra 800 pulled
Pulled mimics underdeveloped film, lifted shadows, softer contrast, muted color, the faded look without touching your own sliders.
Portra 800 pushed
Pushed mimics overdeveloped film, deeper blacks, added contrast, heavier grain, built for the low-light shots Portra 800 is made for.
Portra 800 flat
Flat is a deliberately low-contrast, desaturated base, built as a starting point for your own color grade, not a finished look.
Portra 800 balance
Balance is the safest all-around preset, even contrast, moderate saturation, the Portra 800 look with no lean toward cool, warm, or flat.

Portra 800 is the high-ISO film in the Portra family. Compared to Portra 160 and 400, it has more visible grain, deeper shadows, and a slightly warmer tone, all of which work in its favor when the light gets low. If you shoot portraits indoors, at events, or in the late evening, Portra 800 is the one built for those conditions.

- Please note that the final outcome of a preset can vary depending on the characteristics of the original photograph, such as white balance, exposure, tones, and settings.
- After applying a preset, you can start to make manual adjustments to fine-tune the image to your liking. Lightroom offers a large set of sliders and tools, allowing you to tweak many aspects of the image until you achieve the desired outcome.
- In some instances, a preset may alter the skin tone of persons captured in the photograph. In this cases, utilize Lightroom’s powerful color adjustment tools to refine the skin tone until it appears natural and flattering.

Finally looks like film. I’ve been chasing the Portra look since I switched from film to digital like 6 years ago. Tried a bunch of presets before these and they always looked fake, too orange, too much contrast. These actually look right. The base preset is my default now for anything indoors.
Pavel K. –
Bought these for a family shoot at an indoor venue. Light was terrible. Applied the warm variant and the skin tones came out really natural, no weird color cast. Happy with the purchase, good presets, does what it says
Robert D. –
These presets save me a lot of time in post. I wish there were more variants for really dark scenes but overall solid. Nice work.
Camille B. –
I bought these because I saw them recommemded on Reddit and asked what preset it was. Takes me two seconds to apply and my photos look amazing now. Highly recommended!
Marco A. –
Accurate and not overdone presets that are simple to apply and it works. Worth every cent!
Abena T. –
Didn’t think I needed these but ended up using it on half the gallery with barely any tweaking. That’s exactly what I wanted, they are my my go-to presets now.
