Bold blue tone film recipe using Classic Negative and strong color chrome effects
Glacier Blue
Here’s a creative recipe with a look to maximise the blue tones in your images. It’s a film recipe that works well in winter, but just as well for big blue skies and ocean blues in summer too. I group it with my other extreme film recipe styles, because of the bold effect it generates.
To generate the bold blue look, this recipe uses Classic Negative as the base simulation, and enhaces that further with strong color chrome effects and deep shadows. Saturation is actually minimised in this recipe, but the result is still that of a deep bold glacier blue.
