  • Astia Mellow, a Retro Film-Like Look

    Astia Mellow, a Retro Film-Like Look

    As Fujifilm X-series photographers, we are blessed by the choices offered by the amazing built in film simulations in our cameras. For a Kodachrome style, we have Classic Chrome, for a Fujicolor style, we have Classic Negative, and for a more contemporary film-like appearance, there is Astia.

    Over time, I’ve come to love Astia more and more, and have been using it as a base for film recipes. There’s something subtle, almost indescribable about the tone it produces. A sort of creamy green balance that adds a mellowness. In this recipe, I’ve looked to bring out this essence of that film like look and a mellow overall feel.

    Ultrasoft 77, for Mellow Low Contrast Style

    Film simulation recipe for Fujifilm X-series with Eterna Cinema

    Soft tones photography is definitely my preferred style, and you’ll know this from the type of recipes I make on this site. For this one, I decided to see how far I could push it, and still get pleasing results. So, we have Ultrasoft 77, a warm and cosy Eterna film recipe, with the flattest possible tone curve for super soft tones.

    This film recipe is useful when you want to tame harsh lighting conditions, and you can get interesting results on rainy days too. But, Ultrasoft 77 really comes into its own during the softer light of golden hour. You can achieve some very delicate results in the first and last hours of the day.

    The softest of tones, from the Ultrasoft 77 recipe

    Film Recipe for Ultrasoft 77

    • Simulation: Eterna Cinema
    • Grain Effect: Weak, Small
    • Colour Chrome Effect: Weak
    • Colour Chrome Blue: Strong (IV) / Weak (V)
    • White Balance: Auto
    • WB Shift: +7 Red, -7 Blue
    • Dynamic Range: DR100
    • Highlights: -2
    • Shadows: -2
    • Colour: -2
    • Sharpness: 0
    • ISO Noise Reduction: -4
    • Clarity: +2
    • EV compensation: -1/3

    Whilst this recipe uses a -2, -2 tone curve it isn’t softened with negative sharpening or clarity. In fact, you still get crisp edges and sharp images, with a +2 clarity crisping things up just a touch. I find it a nice effect, but you can leave clarity off if you prefer.

    As a fan of soft tone photography, I’ve made plenty of recipes with a softer tone that lift shadows and soften highlights. Here are a few that you might enjoy.

  • Double Espresso, Retro Mono with Dark Shadows

    Double Espresso, Retro Mono with Dark Shadows

    A dark brown toned mono recipe using Acros and strong clarity

    Like a shot of strong coffee, the deep dark tones in these shadows make quite a statement. If you want to produce a striking mono image, this film recipe might be a good choice for you.

    To add character, the grain is strong and clarity is set high at +5. The overall look is very retro, perhaps similar to wet plate monochrome in colour, but also with an antique flatness to the image.

    Bromide Mono, a Grainy Antique Acros Recipe

    Antique toned monochrome film recipe using Acros for Fujifilm cameras

    Each of my monochrome recipes features a colour cast as part of the recipe. For this recipe, the tint is slightly red-brown, giving it the bromide name.

    In addition, this recipe features lifted highlights and strong grain, giving it a distinctive antique vintage aesthetic. And, whilst it is happy being used in a wide range of conditions, it works best in sunlight, rather than dull light.

    Back in the Day, like Nostalgic Film Photos

    Fujifilm simulation recipe for Classic Negative on X-Trans IV cameras

    One of the most interesting film simulations on Fuji X-series cameras is Classic Negative. If you go back and find film photos printed back in the peak days of Fujicolor 35mm films like Reala, Superia, etc., you’ll see a look that has been magically recreated by the Fujifilm engineers.

    This leads me to a deeply nostaligic film recipe, based on Classic Negative that celebrates this old film prints style. It’s set to push up the highlights and colour, because these tweaks give a look that I remember from prints in the 90s, and adds a little softness to hide the digital nature of the shots a little.

    The recipe is called Back in the Day, and is great for sunny days and all those holidays and days out that you would have captured on your 35mm camera, back in the day.

  • Festival Cream, for the Hazy Days of Summer

    Festival Cream, for the Hazy Days of Summer

    Dreamy creamy Eterna film simulation recipe for X-Trans 4 cameras

    I am often inspired by the great work of others, and in this case, I was really taken by the tones of a recipe shared by Willard Largueza Macay. He had captured wonderful images at the Taste of Lawrence Festival, a food festival in Ontario, Canada. I loved the yellow tones and other worldly skies.

    When I tested his settings, I saw a different result, perhaps because it was developed on X-T3 and there are differences between camera models. I found that adjustments were needed on my X-S10 to achieve a similar tone and feel. But, after after a few tests and some do-overs, I settled on this wonderfully creamy and atmospheric recipe that I call Festival Cream.

    Reminiscent of the Kodakchrome II recipe on FujiXWeekly, but with the mellow tone taken even further, this recipe is great in bright sunshine, wonderful with blue skies, and adds creamy drama tones to everything else.

  • Aged Kodak Portra, for Old Tones 35mm

    Aged Kodak Portra, for Old Tones 35mm

    Kodak Portra film simulation recipe for Fujifillm cameras using Eterna

    For this recipe, I was inspired by an Instagram that I follow, expiredbren who posts a really great set of images with Portra and Gold films, and sometimes expired rolls too.

    In some of his recent images (June & July ’22), he’s been posting classic VWs, and I just love the tones of the images. This green Beetle is one of his IG shots, go follow him for more.

    In this film recipe, I wanted to try and achieve a similar look, so I came up with an Eterna based set-up that I call, Aged Kodak Portra.

    I’ve done some test shots in a variety of situations, and I think this recipe is at least similar to the wonderfully warm and faded look in Bren’s images.

    Classic Gold, like Aged & Faded Kodak Gold

    Film simulation for old Kodak Gold 35mm for Fujifilm X-Trans IV cameras

    I like to follow groups and tags for 35mm film and analog photography. Seeing how people use old film stock is inspiring and gives me motivation to try and achieve similar looks with Fujifilm film simulation recipes.

    As well as lots of Portra film, I often see Kodak Gold and especially people shooting with old rolls they find unopened for several years. Images with these were the inspiration for this recipe, using Classic Negative and a strong aged retro feel, like you see with expired or out of date film rolls.

    Skin Tones with Classic Gold

    Kodak Gold was such a popular film that it’s no surprise to find several film recipes that look to mirror it and the feel of it.

  • Retro Standard, a Nostalgic Aged Pro Neg

    Retro Standard, a Nostalgic Aged Pro Neg

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

    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.

    More Retro Looks

    Retro is a bit of a catch-all term these days, and in our world of film simulation recipes it refers to a style that is nostalgic in appearance, but also in mood. So, pictures may either look older style like something from an earlier decade, or have that warm and muted look that is a bit dreamy. Here are a few more recipes that capture that retro vibe.

    More Retro from Other Sites

    With all of those, you should be set up so you can photograph in lots of different retro styles and impress people with your old tone vibes.
