Your first film is on us.
Start with Astra 400, the included free film pack. No watermarks, time limits or export restrictions.
Install Astra through Houston, choose a profile and see the result.
Less adjusting. More creating.
Select a profile for an immediate starting point. Refine colour with printer-light controls, adjust contrast and incorporate grain, halation and lens simulation.
Keep it simple or go further when the image calls for it.
Film science beneath every look.
Astra’s spectrometric approach models how light interacts with film, from the response of the negative to the character of the print. That research powers the prepared profiles you work with.
More than colour.
Film colour, grain, halation and lens simulation work together in one plug-in. Real-time feedback lets you judge the look in motion across changing light and different shots.
The plug-in is free. The collection is yours.
Premium film packs are one-time purchases. Buy a pack, keep it and use it across compatible products. Add the stocks that suit your taste and projects.
All premium Astra film profiles are included with an active Colourlab Ai 4 subscription.
One engine. Connected creative tools.
Astra is built into Colourlab Ai 4, producing the same result inside the application or through the plug-in.
Look Designer lets professionals author colour profiles for Astra. Those profiles carry colour; Astra adds its own grain, halation and lens options.
