Soft tones film recipe for Fujifilm X100V, X-E4, X-S10, X-T4, X-T30ii
Pale Negative
Fujifilm’s Classic Negative film simulation has a distinct character, bringing the feel of negative film prints, especially Fujicolor ones. People talk about the greens, the reds, and the remarkable similarity to negative print style. When you see a classic negative shot, you can recognise it right away.
The Pale Negative film recipe looks to work with these remarkable tones, but with a softer look, especially in terms of a reduced saturation and a soft tone curve. It dials everything down a touch, keeping the classic negative character, just slightly less so. If you want to shoot classic neg, but have been put off by its strong character, try this.
Also take a look at: Soft Negative, which is similar in style.
