Eterna Bleach Bypass film recipe with deep inky shadows and a striking muted look
Inky Depths
It’s no secret that I love the Eterna Bleach Bypass film simulation and have great fun making recipes with it. I have, by happy accident, built up just about the largest selection of Bleach Bypass film recipes online.
This is my latest creation, which pulls together ideas from two other recipes, Wildwood Deep and Squid Ink, but is a look that’s all it’s own. It’s particularly exciting in the golden hour and bright conditions, making a wonderfully luxurious look with deep dark tones and highlight details.
One point to note in this recipe is the underexposure recommendation. To achieve the style, you do need to either expose for highlights, or underexpose at around -2/3 on standard metering. Embrace the dark side, and enjoy the Inky Depths.
