LuttieThe Fujifilm Superia X-TRA 400 look
Fujicolor Superia X-TRA 400 is Fujifilm's everyday consumer colour film, and its look is punchy and a little raw: strong contrast, saturated colour, and the green cast in the shadows that Fujifilm's consumer films are known for. Luttie's Street 400 is shaped after it.
Where it comes from
Superia was the film in point-and-shoots and disposable cameras for years, so its look is tied to snapshots: street photos, nights out, travel rolls developed at a high-street lab. Fujifilm's consumer films are known for strong greens and a green tint in the shadows, the opposite of Kodak's warm consumer stocks. It's the look people reach for when film should feel candid rather than polished.
How to grade it
In order. Every control below exists in the Luttie editor, free to use in your browser.
Film panel → Street 400
Pick Street 400 as the negative.
Print → Scan
Keep it on Scan, the way consumer film comes back from a lab.
Exposure
0 to +0.5 EV. Consumer film has less latitude than professional stock, and part of the look is its contrast.
Scan balance
If the green cast is too much, Green +2 tones it down; Blue +2 warms the whole frame. More light on a colour means less of it in the image.
Crosstalk
100 is the stock as modelled. It's strongest on the green layer, which is where the Superia colour comes from.
Export
Export a .cube (Luttie Pro) for Resolve, Premiere or Final Cut, or a graded image straight from the editor.
When it works
Street and travel photos
Candid snapshots and nights out
Cities and greenery, where the green rendering suits the scene
Anything that should feel unpolished and real
When to avoid it
Polished portraits and weddings: Superia's contrast and green shadows are less kind to skin than a professional stock. Portrait 400 or Pastel 400 is the better choice there.
Frequently asked
You can put the Superia look on your own photos and footage free in Luttie's browser editor, and download the graded image. Exporting it as a .cube LUT to use in other apps is part of Luttie Pro.
No. Film simulation recipes are settings inside Fujifilm X cameras, so they only work on photos from those cameras. Street 400 is a model of the film itself: you can apply it to photos or footage from any camera, and export it as a .cube LUT.
Superia is a consumer film: punchier, more saturated, with greener shadows and less latitude. Portra is a professional portrait film: softer, warmer on skin and very forgiving. In Luttie, Street 400 and Portrait 400 can be compared on the same photo by switching the negative.
No. Street 400 follows the general shape of Fujifilm's published Superia curves, with its green shadows and saturation chosen by eye. It hasn't been measured against real film, and Luttie isn't affiliated with Fujifilm.
