Free Portra 800 LUT: The Ultimate Analog Film Grade for Video & Photo

Want to achieve the Kodak Portra 800 look on both your photos and videos? This Free Portra 800 LUT (Lookup Table) is a universal .CUBE file designed to emulate the warm, saturated aesthetic of Kodak’s professional high-speed film. Because it uses the industry-standard .CUBE format, this single file allows you to color grade video in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, and retouch images in Photoshop using the same professional color science.

Quick Technical Guide: Check compatibility and specs below.

One LUT, Two Workflows (Photo & Video)

The power of this .CUBE file lies in its versatility. Unlike proprietary presets that work only in Lightroom, a 3D LUT maps color values in a software-agnostic way. This means you can use the same file to grade your YouTube vlog in Premiere Pro and your thumbnail in Photoshop, ensuring consistent visual branding across your brand.

• Best For: Content creators who shoot hybrid photo/video.
• Style: Analog, Warm, Cohesive.

Workflow: Creating the “Light Leak” Look in Photoshop

As seen in the screenshots below, you can achieve a stunning vintage effect by combining the Portra 800 LUT with a manual light leak. Here is the breakdown of the technique shown:

1. Apply the LUT: In Photoshop, go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Color Lookup. Load the Free Portra 800 .CUBE file.
2. Add the Leak: Create a Gradient Fill layer. Choose a “Noise” or reddish/orange gradient pattern to simulate light hitting the film sensor.
3. Blend It: Set the Gradient layer’s Blending Mode to Screen or Linear Dodge (Add). This removes the dark parts of the gradient, leaving only the glowing “leak” overlaying your subject.

Video Showcase: The LUT in Action

Watch how this .CUBE file transforms flat footage into a vibrant, filmic final product. The video below demonstrates the LUT applied to log footage, instantly correcting contrast and adding the signature Portra warmth.
