Print style photo looks with this Fujifilm recipe for X-Trans 4 cameras
Classic Print
Here’s a pretty film recipe that’s great for capturing a wide variety of scenes, and brings the look of printed photos from Fujifillm 35mm film. It’s based on Classic Negative, with a few small adjustments to give it a slightly softer look for all round general use. There’s a definite hint of classic Fujifilm stock to this one, and it reminds me of packets of prints that you got back from photo labs in the days before digital.
This recipe is great for sunshine, but still delivers great results if things turn a bit more cloudy. Although it is warm toned overall, Classic Neg gives a slightly cool tint to vegetation, and is really wonderful with any reds you can track down. See if you can find brick walls, red painted gates and doors, old post boxes and telephone boxes, or classic cars.
