    Pro Neg Standard film recipe for Fujifilm X-series cameras

    Olive Garden Film Recipe

    Olive Garden

    With a bit of gentle nudging, the Pro Neg simulations can be tuned to have a grey-green pale olive tone, especially on cloudy days. I find this quite a pleasant and mellow tint that makes for sophisticated images, especially with the saturation also reduced and the tone curve flattened a little. It’s a cinematic look, similar to Eterna in some ways.

    During development of this recipe, I found myself relishing the tone it produced and excited to see how it looked for all sorts of subjects. I found that, it produced great mellow images in overcast conditions, but also worked well in full sunshine too. Mostly though, this is one to try on cloudy days.

    Pro Neg High Fujifilm film simulation recipe for X-Trans 4 cameras

    Agfacolor Film Recipe

    Agfacolor

    There are several interpretations of Agfa films out there in film recipe land, and sure enough, they all look different! So, now it’s my turn to give this clean and bright look a try.

    Having experiemented with different sims, I settled on Pro Neg High for its mid saturation and attactive contrast levels. This helped to produce a film recipe that delivers a colourful clean look, that really loves greens especially.

    Pro Neg Standard film simulation recipe for Fujifilm X-Trans IV

    Natural Standard Film Recipe

    Natural Standard

    Here’s a wonderful film recipe that captures the green of nature in a serene way. It’s a great choice for walks in natural surroundings, like woodlands, forests and nature parks.

    Natural Standard has a soft tone look, with mid saturation and softened shadows. This helps to tame the extremes in a scene and give a mellow and calm look. This helps it work well in all conditions, making it a great general use outdoor recipe.

    The settings for this recipe are simple with minor adjustments and a gently warmed colour balance. The use of the Pro Negative simulation and these settings allow the nature in your shots to be the focus of the image, rather than the retro effects of the film simulation.

    Film simulation recipe for X-Trans 4 Fujifilm cameras with a mellow retro feel

    Retro Standard Film Recipe

    Retro Standard

    Here’s a cosy and warm recipe that gives a softened retro feel using Pro Neg Standard as the base film simulation. It works well in a wide range of light conditions, but gives the best effect in soft or hazy light and around the golden hour.

    The sims for Classic Chrome & Classic Negative get a lot of attention from recipe makers, but I’m coming to love Pro Neg Standard more and more. And, because it’s present on older cameras, people with X-Trans 2 and 3 may be able to capture the essence of this recipe by skipping the settings they don’t have.

    Pro Neg Standard film recipe for a Kodak Gold look on Fujifilm X-Trans IV

    Gold Standard Film Recipe

    Gold Standard

    It’s good to have a setting that you can just rely on, and know it’ll give a great result in all sorts of conditions. This recipe is based upon Pro Neg Standard, and is aimed at being a good-to-go film recipe.

    The look was modelled on the Kodak Gold aesthetic, with a warmer tone and mid-saturation colours. It shares a number of settings, including the colour balance with the Kodak Gold recipe that uses Classic Chrome. This recipe is richer, with a bit more punch, reflecting the use of Pro Negative Standard.

    If your memory of Kodak Gold is something from an earlier decade, you might also enjoy Kojak Gold, a nostalgic take on the Kodak Gold 200 look.

    Nostalgic Standard for a Warm Retro Tone

    Warm tone film recipe for Fujifilm X-Trans IV, like the X100V, X-E4, X-S10

    Nostalgic Standard Film Recipe

    Nostalgic Standard

    Sometimes, I want to achieve a mellow nostalgic tone in my images, but I prefer not to add the extra styling of Classic Chrome or Classic Negative. This Fujifilm film recipe is for days like that. It has a gently warm retro feel from a creamy colour balance shift, but using the Pro Neg Standard film simulation.

    And, just because the mood is warm, it didn’t have to be hazy. So, I also avoided the misty effect seen in many recipes and used a +3 clarity to keep things crisp and clear, and add some additional contrast to the mid tones. This gives a mellow yet sharp recipe, which makes it sound a bit more like a cheese than a photo style, but either way I hope you enjoy the results.

    Because of the clarity setting the recipe is compatible with newer Fujifilm X-series cameras, but you can just ignore clarity if you want to try it out on other models.
