The Powder Blue Color Mode on the Sigma FP continues to be my favorite built-in picture profile, and I’ve once again modified it to create a new film simulation on my FP. I’ve dubbed this one “Azure Natural.” This time, I’ve decreased the strength of the Powder Blue profile, setting it to -2. The saturation of the overall image is increased to the maximum, a slight amount of sharpness has been added, and contrast is slightly diminished. All of these settings can be adjusted and saved in-camera, and they are applied to the final JPEG image.
I’ve been working on a Lightroom preset inspired by Fujifilm Natura 1600. I can’t exactly describe what draws me to the colors of this film stock, but I’ve been enamored by it recently. I generally don’t like green tints in my images, but Natura 1600 seems to render them in a pleasant way. With the price of film sky-rocketing, and the used camera market being as hot as it is, I thought it was time to make a free preset to give people the vibes of some classic films without the expense.
ColorMax Film is a free preset for Adobe Lightroom users. The colors are rich and vibrant without being oversaturated. The contrast is slightly lowered. The overall look is punchy and playfully colorful.
Lately, I’ve been trying out some of the internet’s free presets for Adobe Lightroom, especially those that use “Fujifilm” like colors. Some of them have been delightful, but most of them haven’t fit my editing style, so I decided to create my own. My preset is called Fuji Color Negative Film. It takes some inspiration from the Negative Film picture profile built into the Ricoh GR III.
Hello all! Enjoy this new Ricoh GR III Recipe! This film simulation works with the GR III and the GR IIIx. Today’s new Ricoh GR III Recipe is called Retro Chrome 1600. All of the sample images are SOOC (straight-out-of-camera) JPEG images and the colors were not altered in any way.
Look, we all know the Fujifilm x100VI is going to be a great camera. It gives consumers exactly what they’ve been asking for, and the pre-orders are the proof. But don’t you want to be different? You don’t want to be exactly like everyone else, do you? If the answer is “no” let me suggest an alternative route, the Sigma FP and FP L.
The other day I came across some sample photos from a film stock I had never explored, Kodak ColorPlus 200. I found the photos on Lomography’s website and really liked them. Kodak’s own website appears to have forgotten the film stock. All we know is that it was a color negative film based on old VR films. In this article you’ll find a link to my free Lightroom preset based off ColorPlus.
Another day of experimenting in Lightroom has brought forth another preset for your enjoyment. This preset was originally named Guam 200, because many of the photos were taken on the island of Guam, but I renamed it for the sake of SEO and search friendliness. This preset is slightly desaturated with medium contrast. I also adjusted a few of the tone curves, adding magenta to the shadows and a bit of yellow to the highlights.
