Great everyday preset, works on pretty much anything I throw at it.
Astrid P. –
Really like the vibrancy this gives outdoor shots. Only thing is it can look a touch oversaturated on already colorful subjects, like flowers or produce stalls, so I pull saturation back slightly there.

I also own the Kodak Gold 200 preset from this site and wanted to see how UltraMax compared. This one runs punchier and slightly cooler, Gold leans warmer and softer. Ended up keeping both in rotation depending on whether I want that warm nostalgic feel or something with a bit more pop, but UltraMax is the one I reach for more on brighter, colorful scenes.

Didn’t expect much from an “everyday” preset but it’s become one of my most used ones honestly.

Shot a backyard birthday party with this and the colors held up nicely across sunny patches and shaded areas under the tent. Good all-rounder for casual event work where lighting keeps changing.
