Frequently Asked Questions

What gives 70s photos their distinctive warm look?

The combination of Kodachrome film's warm color rendering, the era's warm interior lighting, and natural aging of prints over decades creates the characteristic golden-warm 70s look.

How do I make modern photos look like the 70s?

Apply moderate grain with warm golden tint, slightly lifted shadows, reduced contrast, and mild vignetting. The key is achieving warm earth tones without oversaturation.

What was Kodachrome film?

Kodachrome was Kodak's legendary color slide film, produced from 1935 to 2009. It was known for rich, warm colors and extremely fine grain. Paul Simon wrote a famous song about it. Its unique look has never been fully replicated by digital means.
