Grade a portrait toward a warm color-negative film look

№ 98

№ The prompt

Grade this portrait toward a warm color-negative film look — the kind of analog color prized for skin. Render skin creamy and slightly warm, hold the contrast back so shadows stay open, push reds and oranges gently while keeping greens muted, and add a faint halation glow around the brightest highlights. Keep the subject's face exactly consistent with the original — this is a color grade, not a retouch or reshape. The result should look like the same portrait shot on warm color film, not a heavy filter.

№ How to use it

  • Input

    A well-exposed daytime or golden-hour portrait. For a person, use a synthetic or stock-style photo.

  • Preserve

    Facial identity, the real composition, and skin detail — color grade only, no reshape.

  • Avoid

    An orange skin cast, blown-out highlights from too much halation, or smoothing skin into a waxy finish.
