🎬 A Cinematic Touch from the Golden Era

If you’ve ever watched classic films like Indiana Jones, E.T., or The Godfather and wondered how to recreate that nostalgic cinematic look, you’re not alone. The charm of older films lies in their imperfect beauty—warm tones, subtle grain, and organic color shifts that feel alive.

Eastman 100 brings that exact feeling into your photos. It’s not just a preset—it’s a time machine that transforms modern images into frames that feel like they belong in the golden age of cinema.

🎨 What Is Eastman 100 and Why It Matters?

At its core, Eastman 100 is a Lightroom and Capture One preset pack inspired by Kodak’s film stocks from the 70s and 80s—an era before digital perfection took over.

Why is this important?

Back then, film had:

• Slight color inconsistencies
• Natural grain textures
• Warm and imperfect tones

These “imperfections” are exactly what made images feel real, emotional, and cinematic.

Real-world uses:

• Turning travel photos into nostalgic memories
• Giving portraits a vintage storytelling vibe
• Making everyday shots feel like scenes from a classic movie

These features improve your work because they add depth, mood, and character—something modern clean edits often lack.

🎞️ Meet the Tool: Eastman 100 Preset Pack

Eastman 100 by Very Good Presets is designed to recreate two decades of film evolution, focusing on that sweet spot before film became too perfect. It simplifies the process of achieving cinematic color grading while still giving you full creative control.
