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.
