It’s hard to beat a classic, but everyone appreciates a good remix… That was my thought process when I set out to modify Fujifilm’s Classic Chrome profile on my Fujifilm X-H2. Like most people, I enjoy the original Classic Chrome, but variety is the spice of life. As 2024 drew to a close, I set out to make a film simulation that would give me new enthusiasm for photographing with this old favorite.

I just bought a Fujifilm X-H2 and I’ve been trying to create a film simulation that I can use as a “standard” profile. It needs to look good in all lighting conditions and be relatively flexible. Today’s recipe is my first attempt at such a recipe. Pro Negative 400 will give you unique colors suitable for every day memory making and reduce your need to edit in post.

I hope you enjoy this new Fujifilm Film Simulation recipe I’ve created called Kodak Gold Mist 200. It’s based on the Reala Ace Film Simulation, which some have criticized for a lack of originality, but I find perfectly suited as a foundation layer for film recipes.

The Fujifilm recipe I’ve created for you today is called Classic Gold Negative. It’s built on the Classic Negative film simulation. The recipe is free. I made it with the Fujifilm X-H2 and Sigma X-Mount lenses.

This is a new film simulation for Fujifilm cameras, specially for X-Trans III cameras. It's called the Rainy Grain Recipe. This recipe uses Fujifilm’s Classic Chrome Film Simulation and adds lots of contrast and a custom white balance to give it a well balanced and pleasing look, especially in natural light.

This month, I’m taking my Sigma FP back to one of my favorite cities, Vlore, Albania, to soak up some sun and create some new film simulations. The sea and the sand draw me towards using Sigma’s Powder Blue Color Mode, and I’ve slightly modified the white balance to warm things up a bit. This film simulation is only a slight modification of Sigma’s original, but enough to give it a unique look.

Enjoy this new film simulation for the Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx. It's called Ricoh Superia Summer. This recipe uses Ricoh's Bleach Bypass picture profile and adds lots of contrast and a custom white balance to give you a well balanced and pleasing look to your photos.

This is my Classic Chrome recipe for the Ricoh GR III. It is not an attempt to match the Fujifilm recipe exactly, but more my interpretation of what I want to see in Classic Chrome. This film recipe is based on Ricoh’s Positive Film, but features an adjusted hue and ISO fixed at 400.

I’ve been in Athens, Greece with my Ricoh GR III for the last couple days and I’ve been working on a new film simulation. I’m going to call this one Shady Summer Film. It has a cool white balance to balance out the hot summer sun. Most of the photos you’ll see in this article were taken just north of the Victoria Metro Station on the green line in Athens.

I’ve been longing for some rustic and earthen tones in my photography lately, so I set to work trying to develop a recipe for my Ricoh GR III. I originally started with “Negative Film,” but ended up finding the “Retro” picture profile to be a better base. I originally didn’t find “Retro” to be a particularly good foundation for recipes, but over the months, it has grown on me.

I’ve been seeing a Portra 160 film simulation for the Ricoh GR III floating around the internet recently. There are several variations of the recipe featuring slightly different white balance settings. This post is my test of my modified recipe and my attempt to document it for those searching for it in the future.

Film Recipe for Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx - Negative Color Summer. This is my first attempt to start a database of Ricoh GR recipes I find on the internet. In the coming months I hope to add new picture profiles I find online.

This new film simulation for the Sigma FP and FP L is based on Sigma’s “Portrait” Color Mode, which I’ve never used before. I haven’t toyed with this particular color mode enough to give you an opinion on its quality, but I will say these initial photos indicate good things. I think the Sigma did an excellent job capturing the colors and the contrast of the Albanian spring flowers and foliage.

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.

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.

Today I’m releasing a brand new film simulation for the Sigma FP and Sigma FP L called “Something Blue.” Having photographed with Sigma’s Powder Blue color mode a few months back, I wanted to create a film recipe that used similar, but more subtle, colors. This simulations is suitable for everyday photography and anyone who wants a pleasing look directly out of the camera.

This is a new film simulation for the Sigma FP series of cameras. If you haven’t checked out the color capabilities of the FP and FP L, I would encourage you to explore them. These cameras have a lot to offer in the way of customization and they even produce beautiful RAW files straight-out-of-camera. I call this film simulation “Moody Orange & Teal.” Its a tweak to Sigma’s own Orange and Teal Color Mode built into the Sigma FP.

Bonjour everyone! 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 Luke’s Kodak Ektachrome 1600

This is the first film simulation where I’ve experimented with setting a manual ISO value. As you probably guessed, that value is ISO 1600. The elevated ISO certainly kept my shutter speeds high.

For those of you who enjoy film simulations, I’m happy to announce the release of a new one for the Sigma FP series of cameras. I call this one Natural Negative. It takes inspiration from two Ricoh GR III color profiles, Bleach Bypass and Negative Film.
