Pastel Film 400 - Film Recipe for Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx

This is a new film simulation for the Ricoh GR III (and GR IIIx). I created Pastel Film 400 using the pre-installed Negative Film Preset. It features low contrast and mid-high saturation. My favorite thing about this film recipe is how it renders blue colors. Blues are captured in a pastel pallet. Deeper blues are lightened, bringing an overall softness to the images.

You can find the recipe instructions below. If you donā€™t know how to input a film recipe into your Ricoh GR III, I wrote and article and created a video explaining the process.

Iā€™ve made the film recipe free as a way to give back to the Ricoh community. I hope you enjoy it. If you try the recipe and upload to Instagram, tag your photos #RicohFilmRecipesā€¦ I would love to see your work!

Enjoy!
