    Yup! Almost all Kodachrome presets I have tried produce terrible skin.

    I've sent you back your file post-processed using my K12 process, since K11 (old K25) and K12 (old K64) are the actual Golden Era Kodachromes. K14 is modern Kodachrome referring to K25, K40, and K64. Confused yet?

    Anyway...the problem in your file is that natural colors in flowers really push the color space of most presets and in particular those which mimic slide films and infrared films. If they aren't done well, they will produce strange color shifts, banding, and/or artifacts. In your case, you have all three.

    HAHA, bloody confusing but I got it!
    Yeah the triple whammy :( Shame it works well on some photos, but Putting a series/project together is almost impossible to be consistent.

    I've done it for a few vintage shoots. It's totally possible. Consistent lighting, correct white balance, and a preset that works and you're golden.
