Print like film recipe using the Classic Negative film simulation
Restore from Backup
Although there seems to be a lot of negative sentiment towards it nowadays, Instagram still has some excellent photography being shared, and I find that some of the best is found on some specific hashtags. One such tag is #restorefrombackup where users submit film photos and analog styled digital.
All the film favourites are there, with monotone, Portra, faded and classic negative print styles. In my Restore from Backup film recipe, I’ve taken Classic Negative and aimed to enhance its nostalgic 35mm print look with grain, warmth and punchy shadows. Most of the impact comes of course from Fujifilm’s tremendous Classic Negative simulation, and I love how print like the results can be with these settings.
