Technicolor Dream, Vibrant Fantasy Tones

Film simulation recipe with a colourful purple tone and hazy softness

Here’s a trippy film recipe with a bright and colourful look that’s beautiful at sunset and a blast of crazy purple haze at other times. It’s vibrant and fun, and could be a great choice for capturing a party atmosphere.

In my testing, I found that the effect on natural scenes was certainly fun to see, giving a soft purple cast to some images. It really came to life when shooting towards the light, and as the day moved into the golden hour. For scens around this time, a striking and rich tone was captured.
