    Kodak Gold 200

    Classic

    The people's film.

    Kodak Portra 800

    Classic

    Portra after dark.

    The fast member of the Portra family. Portra 800 carries Portra's flattering, natural skin tones into low light, trading a little grain for the speed to shoot receptions, interiors, and dusk without losing the warmth.

    Kodak Ektar 100

    Classic

    The sharpest color negative made.

    Kodak's most saturated, finest-grained color negative. Ektar 100 delivers slide-like vibrancy and almost grainless detail on negative film, which is why landscape, travel, and product shooters reach for it.

    02How to choose

    Film Stocks

    Named recipes with stock-native frame defaults. Best when you want a fast, consistent analog direction.

    References

    Bring a still, scan, screenshot, or finished edit. The lab reads the look and builds the recipe on the fly.

    Saved Looks

    Reusable recipes made from your own references, layer choices, and strength settings.

    Beyond named stocks

    A stock is one recipe. A reference can become yours.

    If you want a look that is not in the stock catalog yet, use references in Lab Orbit. Add up to four images, decide what to pull from each one, write Lab Notes, then save the result as a Saved Look.
