Film Recipes for Fujifilm Cameras

Nostalgic, soft tone and vintage film recipes using Fujifilm film simulations

Classic Negative Film Recipes

Film recipes using the Classic Negative film simulation

Newer Fujifilm cameras feature the Classic Negative film simulation that brings a 35mm Fujicolor Superia look to your photos. Characteristics include rich reds and a nostalgic tone to greens, which are shifted towards blue in tone and have a deeper contrast.

For film recipes, the Classic Negative base helps in the design of film-like settings, but also works really well as a starting point for creamy and peachy tone recipes for photography in the golden hour.

Best ones? I love Soft Negative, Goldeneye and Restore from Backup.
