Warm tone film recipe for Fujifilm X-Trans IV, like the X100V, X-E4, X-S10
Nostalgic Standard
Sometimes, I want to achieve a mellow nostalgic tone in my images, but I prefer not to add the extra styling of Classic Chrome or Classic Negative. This Fujifilm film recipe is for days like that. It has a gently warm retro feel from a creamy colour balance shift, but using the Pro Neg Standard film simulation.
And, just because the mood is warm, it didn’t have to be hazy. So, I also avoided the misty effect seen in many recipes and used a +3 clarity to keep things crisp and clear, and add some additional contrast to the mid tones. This gives a mellow yet sharp recipe, which makes it sound a bit more like a cheese than a photo style, but either way I hope you enjoy the results.
Because of the clarity setting the recipe is compatible with newer Fujifilm X-series cameras, but you can just ignore clarity if you want to try it out on other models.
