Film Recipes for Fujifilm Cameras

Mono film simulation recipe with a Kodak Tri-X look and subtle colour tone

I am often inspired by photographs and recipes that others have made. This is one of those cases. The Kodak Tri-X 400 recipe on Fuji X Weekly is one of my favourite black and white recipes, with grain (which I love) and impact (which I also love). However, I am so addicted to my muted tones and colour casts, that I really wanted to adjust the recipe to add this element.

So, if you want to shoot with an unadjusted, excellent Tri-X look, jump over to Ritchie’s recipe, but if you’d like to try my tweaked version with a subtle colour tone, the details are below.
