About Polaroid 669
Type 669 was the workhorse of commercial photography for decades — every studio kept a pack for checking lighting before shooting transparency. The emulsion-lift and image-transfer techniques of the 1980s and 90s were built on it.

How to use this LUT
The download is a standard .cube 3D LUT, so it loads in almost anything: Lightroom Classic (Profile → Browse), Photoshop (Color Lookup adjustment layer), Premiere Pro (Lumetri → Creative), DaVinci Resolve (LUTs panel), Final Cut Pro (Custom LUT effect), Affinity Photo, Capture One and OBS. See the step-by-step guide if you have not loaded one before.
