Film recipes with a natural, realistic colour tone
Many film recipes, including the majority on this site, have a colour balance or combination of settings that lend a particular colour tone to your images. This can result in images that look distinctly different from what your eye saw.
When you’d prefer things to be more natural, you can either switch to using the excellent Fujifilm film simulations without further tweaks, or choose a recipe with only minor colour shifts for a more natural colour tone.
Here are my recipes, with only minor colour shifts for a more natural colour tone.
These recipes are drawn from both the site and the Film Recipes App, ordered first by how closely each recipe was designed to capture the natural colour character — from direct interpretations through to inspired-by looks — and then by popularity within each group. App-only recipes are included and marked 🔒.
