A bold, high-saturation preset built for maximum color impact, punchy contrast, vivid hues, and a graphic film character.
Free Color Max Film Lightroom Preset
Color Max is built for photos that need to grab attention, not blend in. It pushes saturation further than our other film presets, deepens contrast for a bolder, more graphic look, and keeps every hue in the frame working at full intensity rather than picking just one color to favor. It’s less about recreating one specific film stock and more about a maximum-impact color grade for photography that wants to feel loud, vivid, and unmistakably colorful.

What It Does to Your Photos
Maxes out saturation
Pushes color intensity further than a typical film preset for a bold, vivid result.
Deepens contrast
Adds punchy, graphic contrast so the image feels bold rather than soft or muted.

Keeps reds, blues, and greens all working together instead of one color dominating.
Stays sharp and clean
Pairs the bold color with crisp detail so the image reads as intentional, not overprocessed.
Works Everywhere You Shoot
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of photography is Color Max best for?
Street photography, urban scenes, events, and any subject with strong existing color where you want the image to feel bold and vivid rather than natural or muted.
Is this too intense for portraits?
It can push skin tones more than our subtler presets, so it works best on scenes where color and graphic punch matter more than a natural, flattering look.
How is this different from your Superia preset?
Superia is tuned around Fuji’s specific green-leaning color science. Color Max isn’t modeled on one film stock, it’s built purely to maximize overall saturation and contrast across every color in the frame.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. It’s included in DNG format for Lightroom Mobile on iOS and Android, alongside the XMP and LRTemplate versions for desktop.
Is it really free?
Yes. No watermark, no email gate, no time limit. If you want the full range of film looks, the Ultimate Film Presets Collection above expands on this one.
