A bright and cheerful Reala ace film simulationrecipe, ideal for X100VI in the Spring season

Oxygen
For those of us living in the Northern hemisphere, Spring is bursting out all over and teh greens of nature are filling the landscape. In my Film Recipes App, I notice that the film recipes being set as favourites are bright and colourful, ready for capturing this Spring season. Recipes like; Arboria, QE2 and Endor, as welll as several exclusive to app users.
This inspired me to get creative and develop a brand new recipe for Spring 2025, which I am sharing with you here. It is based on Reala Ace, a simulation available in newer cameras, like hte X100VI, X-M5 and X-T5. It has wonderful colour as standard, and makes a great base for a fresh air look like this.
As always, the colour balance has been tweaked, and I also made small adjustments to the tone curve. The biggest change is a nice big blast of extra colour, with a +3 saturation setting. I hope you’ll enjoy this new recipe and will find it fun to use in the Spring and Summer seasons.
