Kodak Portra 400
Neutral portrait stock · natural skin
Emulation character
Portra 400 is the daylight portrait reference — gentle contrast, accurate skin hues, and forgiving highlight roll-off for wedding, editorial, and commercial still work.
Kodak Portra 400 models the color response and contrast of its photographic reference — grain and halation are applied in Darkroom when you preview on a still. For log footage, set the correct input profile before applying the stock.
Workflow notes
Default choice when faces are the subject. In Darkroom, combine with a light S-curve rather than heavy stylized looks if you need print-adjacent realism.
