Fujifilm film simulation for X-Trans IV giving Portra 160 looks with Eterna
Eternal Summer
Here’s an Eterna based film recipe that gives a clear but soft look that you can use all summer. It works really well in sunlight, giving a soft tone, capturing tones with that wonderfully cinematic look that Fujifilm’s Eterna does so well.
When shooting with it, I found it has a creamy feel quite similar to the popular Kodak Portra 160 or 400 recipes, especially in scenes with blue sky. This is probably a little gentler the those recipes, but there is a cinematic Portra vibe here that I think looks great, especially in the sunshine.
