🍉Kodak Portra 400 Film Recipe - Update Pool🍉

Hei there Maxime!

Yes, you are right. By lifting the color phase above 0 will make the Greens start shifting towards Yellow. With +1 being more gentle while +7 comes with an obvious shift in colors.

In the same time there a number of other factors which affect color when using picture profiles, and those are Kelvin & Color Filter, Color Mode, & also Saturation levels can change the way our eyes interpret color, and in some occassions even the Color Depth can shift colors, but that is only with a couple specific film simulations.

So how Color Phase will influence the colors will greatly depend on all these options.

If you'd like the profile to look more like the first image, with olive greens, just shift the color phase to +2 or +3.

From my experience with Sony, Greens & Yellows are very problematic, these 2 colors being too close to each other on the color spectrum, meaning greens are shifted too much towards orange and orange is shifted towards greeen, making them look like the same colors in some ocassions, which bring out most of the problems with Sony's skintones and pale colors.

At the end of this article you'll find a great comparison regarding this issue, it's called Ektachrome |A whole Different World. Check it out!

By having the greens and the yellows so close together, first of all you loose color contrast, which make your images look bland, and it's not accurate to the film stock intended to be emulated either.

If you do a quick check on kodak portra 400, you'll probably notice the greens in the shadows shart shifting towards Teal, so when replicating this film stock I tried to do the same.

Again, if you miss the Olive Greens, you can easily start shifting the Color Phase by a couple steps, and eventually increase the Kelvin to add more warmth to your colors.

if you have any other questions, let me know!

really hard to give a suggestion since what you describe as a rich and deep color might seem different to me, but since you mentioned teal n orange I will recommend the CineChrome Film Simulation. Have you tried that one out yet?

And next time please create a separate post for your question. Thanks!
