Fujifilm film simulation for X-Trans 4 cameras using Eterna Bleach Bypass

Squid Ink
How’s this for a wonderfully different film recipe? I call it Squid Ink, because of the deep inky blue of the sky, and I just love the effect it produces.
The recipe is based on Eterna Bleach Bypass film receipe, which means it’s for newer cameras only, and to get the best effect, I think it’s best to shoot in bright sunshine, but of course the fun is in finding out what this wild recipe can produce for you.
To get the best from this recipe, underexposure is an important step. See the recipe notes for details.
