Fujifilm simulation recipe for a cool tone Agfa style for X-Trans IV cameras
Agfachrome Cool
On clear blue sky sunny days, adding warmth with a mellow recipe can sometimes alter the mood of a scene to a point where the spirit of the capture is lost. For days like this, especially with big skies or the sea in the picture, I find a cooler blue tone look to give a more effective result.
This film recipe started life inspired by the Agfa recipes at Fuji X Weekly. I wanted to capture some of the blue tint, but adapt the tones and saturation to better suit my peronal style of a softer tone look.
The style is useful throughout the year, but especially effective in the frosty conditions of winter. The tone compliments the natural light and emphasises the colder weather feeling.
