Classic Negative film simulation recipe inspired by old Fujicolor prints
Our advanced digital cameras product clear clean images with astonishing detail and colour. But, when you look back at prints from decades past you find a different look, often with colours that are beginning to fade or shift and a feel that is much less like most digital camera shots.
Of course, our powerful Fujifilm cameras are not most cameras, and we can use Fujifilm film simulations to bring us closer to these nostalgic looks from the past.
For many Fujcolor print inspired looks, the wonderful Classic Negative simulation is the place to start, and to embrace the aged look, the slightly blue tone to green subjects can be played with to deliver a distinctive style. Furthermore, one stop of underexposure is used, which helps to emphasise the colour effect. Classic Negative is perhaps unique amongst the film simulations in how it changes based on exposure.
All of that is at work here, resulting in something eye catching and creative that works well with natural subjects, and especially greens. You wonder see too much natural colour from this recipe, but instead, you might unlock a new seam of creativity as you explore the look of Old Fujicolor
