Superia 400


Superia 400 free Lightroom preset replicates the signature look of the Fuji Superia 400 film. It is, as Fuji claims, daylight-balanced: colors are vivid and tones appear crisp. Not only that, the preset also does a great job producing this Superia’s ISO 400 look: it brightens images and adds fine grains to account for its light sensitivity.

Brightens and Boosts Colors

Bright Scenes. Many professional photographers would use the Fuji Superia 400 for portraits because of how it enhances skin tones and processes colors in clothing. It is, therefore, ideal in fashion photography whether shot outdoors or in a studio. Even selfies would look amazing with this analog film preset.

In the example portrait above, notice how well-lit the After photo looks now, even when shot indoors. The preset creates this effect by increasing the exposure and contrast of the image. As mentioned, this partly accounts for the Superia 400 film’s light sensitivity. To make it even better, with this brightening effect is also the amplified contrast: look at the woman’s vivid shirt in the After photo.

Let us now compare the skin tones. The Superia 400 preset has made them warmer and more complex. It handles skin tones well because of the brightening, plus a split-tone adjustment in highlights and shadows. More about it in the next example.

Creates a Stunning Look With Its Fine Adjustments in Tone

Captivating Tones. It is amazing how this film preset for Lightroom applies a thorough enhancement of photographic elements. Everything looks complementary. Simply look at that captivating After image: colors pop, tones add exquisite depth, and both highlights and shadows blend better with their subtle tints.

This stunning effect is a result of Superia 400 preset’s distinct blend in tone. It softens shadows, increases whites, deepens blacks. These are fine-tuned even further in the tone curve.

As previously discussed, it is the split-toning that creates the preset’s characteristic warmth, and it is most visible always on skin tones. For this look, the preset tints highlights with warm brown. It is a cozy type of warmth that adds a magical feel somehow. On the other hand, for the shadows, it adds an accentuating lime green. Look at the dim areas in the photo above and notice the difference.

Makes Images Vibrant

Vibrant Days. To further enhance its hues, Superia 400 preset further amplifies the vibrance of the image. Just look at the After photo above: with the discussed brightening and improvements in tone are the punchy colors. This works hand in hand with the boost in contrast.

Notice how green and vivid the grass and trees are now. It makes a huge difference; they looked dull, almost gray, in the original photo. This is the Superia 400 preset in action outdoors: it boosts the colors of nature incredibly well and helps you produce amazing landscape photos.

You can also try out other variants of this Fujifilm preset: the Superia 400 bright film preset and the Superia 800 grainy film preset. As you can tell, the difference is primarily in the replication of the ISO intensity. We highly recommend that you try them all out and see what’s best for your photo.
