Kodak Gold has a reputation. Ask around and you'll hear it: drugstore film, cheap and ordinary, the stock your parents shot birthdays on.
Run it through a professional lab scanner and a different film appears. Complex color layers. A warmth that doesn't tip into orange. Shadows that drift gently toward cyan instead of collapsing into black. That film, Kodak Gold 200 and UltraMax 400 as a Frontier actually rendered them, is what I rebuilt in the Gold Edition, exclusively for Capture One.
Every profile starts from linear laboratory data: real scans from the Fujifilm Frontier SP3000 and the Noritsu HS 1800, compiled directly into native Capture One ICC profiles. The emulation doesn't sit on top of your edit. It replaces the generic camera profile in Base Characteristics, so every Capture One tool after it works on reconstructed film color instead of default sensor rendering.
What's inside:
- 12 native ICC profiles, applied in Base Characteristics and tuned for normal, pushed and pulled exposure.
- Complementary Styles for highlight softening and shadow control. Switch the exposure mapping or soften digital highlights to match your light.
It's built for everyday photography, portraits and golden hour.
