Portra 400 NC and VC images by Aldo Rafael Altamirano (Image rights) |
Kodak originally offered its Portra range in two varieties. Natural Color (NC) was specifically tuned to give subtle color and natural skin tones in low-light situations or with on-camera flash. Vivid Color (VC) was specifically tuned to give enhanced color in low light. According to Kodak in the very last version of the NC/VC films the difference between them was less than 5%.
