Film Recipes for Fujifilm Cameras

Pro Neg Standard film recipe for Fujifilm X-series cameras

With a bit of gentle nudging, the Pro Neg simulations can be tuned to have a grey-green pale olive tone, especially on cloudy days. I find this quite a pleasant and mellow tint that makes for sophisticated images, especially with the saturation also reduced and the tone curve flattened a little. It’s a cinematic look, similar to Eterna in some ways.

During development of this recipe, I found myself relishing the tone it produced and excited to see how it looked for all sorts of subjects. I found that, it produced great mellow images in overcast conditions, but also worked well in full sunshine too. Mostly though, this is one to try on cloudy days.
