Kodak Gold 200 is one of the most popular film stocks out there. Aptly named ‘Gold’ this color negative film stock is known for its warm color reproduction, medium contrast, forgiving exposure latitude and fine grain. Colors come out looking proper and not over saturated and skin tones look natural and real.

With a film as used and as sought after as Kodak Gold, it’s no wonder why digital photographers look to recreate this elusive look. The warm tones and colors that show up in portraits, landscapes and everything in between would look great when applied to digital capture, so we’ve gathered a list of Kodak Gold Preset packs to help emulate this look in your photos!
