Cinestill 400D is not just a film stock, it’s a cinematic experience in a roll. Famous for its color accuracy and vibrant tones Cinestill 400D has a look that’s rich and distinctive. It shines in low light and delivers sharpness and mood. The unique characteristic of Cinestill 400D is the color rendition with vivid colors and fine grain, giving your images a silky, almost dreamy feel. Our Cinestill 400D Lightroom Preset captures this film perfectly so you can add the same cinematic charm and clarity to your digital photos.

What’s Unique about Cinestill?

Cinestill film stocks are famous for their cinematic color and our presets are compatible with Lightroom CC and camera raw for digital editing. Unlike many other films Cinestill has a special film base that gives it a distinct look especially in artificial light. This is why Cinestill is popular for night photography and indoor shoots where lighting is tough. Our Cinestill 400D film emulation presets capture this special quality so your digital images have the same vibrant, cinematic feel that Cinestill is known for. With these presets you can get the dramatic contrast and color reproduction that Cinestill is famous for, all from the comfort of your digital editing space.

Cinestill 400D vs Kodak Portra 400

When it comes to film emulation Cinestill 400D and Kodak Portra 400 have different looks. Kodak Portra 400 is known for its smooth natural color and excellent skin tone so it’s a favorite for portraits and general photography. Cinestill 400D is designed to have more color saturation and a sharper image so it’s good for situations where you want to capture more dramatic scenes. Our Cinestill 400D Lightroom presets are tuned to the film’s characteristics so it’s a different, yet complementary option to the softer, more subtle Portra 400 presets. While Portra 400 is good for classic looks, Cinestill 400D brings a modern, cinematic feel to your images.

Made with Precision: We Worked with a Film Lab

Creating presets that truly capture Cinestill 400D required precision. We worked with a film lab to make sure our Cinestill 400D Lightroom Presets are not just approximations but the real deal. This allowed us to fine tune each preset to match the film’s color profiles, contrast and grain through precise settings. The result is a set of presets that exactly replicate the Cinestill 400D look in digital, so your images can have the same rich, cinematic feel as the film itself.

Why Digital Presets are Better than Film

Shooting with Cinestill 400D is magical but digital has many advantages. The presets are available for instant download after purchase. Film is expensive and developing it adds another layer of cost. For events like weddings or commercial shoots digital is more reliable and efficient than film. Our Cinestill 400D Lightroom presets give you the film look without the financial and logistical hassle of film. You get the best of both worlds: the beautiful, cinematic look of Cinestill 400D and the convenience and flexibility of digital editing.
