Film simulation recipe for X-Trans 4 Fujifilm cameras with a mellow retro feel
Retro Standard
Here’s a cosy and warm recipe that gives a softened retro feel using Pro Neg Standard as the base film simulation. It works well in a wide range of light conditions, but gives the best effect in soft or hazy light and around the golden hour.
The sims for Classic Chrome & Classic Negative get a lot of attention from recipe makers, but I’m coming to love Pro Neg Standard more and more. And, because it’s present on older cameras, people with X-Trans 2 and 3 may be able to capture the essence of this recipe by skipping the settings they don’t have.
