LuttieThe Kodak Ektachrome E100 look
Kodak Ektachrome E100 is Kodak's modern slide film, and its look is clean and crisp: fine detail, deep blacks, neutral to slightly cool colour with restrained saturation. Luttie's Clean 100 is shaped after it, scanned straight, as a slide is.
Where it comes from
Ektachrome was the slide film people could develop themselves, with the E-6 process any lab runs, unlike Kodachrome's specialist one. Kodak discontinued it in 2012, and brought it back in 2018 after demand for film returned. It's the slide film of choice for people who want slide contrast without Velvia's saturation or Kodachrome's warmth.
How to grade it
In order. Every control below exists in the Luttie editor, free to use in your browser.
Film panel → Clean 100
Pick Clean 100 as the negative. Slides are scanned, not printed, so the print choice doesn't apply: the panel says so.
Exposure
-0.3 to 0 EV, exposing for the highlights as slides are.
Scan balance
Red -2 for a slightly warmer scan, if the cool lean is too much.
Export
Export a .cube (Luttie Pro) for Resolve, Premiere or Final Cut, or a graded image straight from the editor.
When it works
Clean, modern travel and street photos
Portraits that want slide-film punch without red skin
Architecture and design with neutral colour
Bright, crisp daylight scenes
When to avoid it
Warm, nostalgic work: Ektachrome stays clean and slightly cool. Slide 64 (shaped after Kodachrome) is the warm slide; a negative like Warm 200 is softer.
