Kodak Magenta Chrome - Film Simulation for Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx

I’m back this week with another Ricoh GR III (and GR IIIx) film simulations. In my never ending pursuit to create a Kodak Portra 400 recipe, I was doing some experimenting, and came up with what I’m calling Kodak Magenta Chrome. Admittedly, the recipe isn’t that close to Porta, but that is ok.

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.

Natural Analog - Film Simulation for Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx

This is a new film simulation for the Ricoh GR III (and GR IIIx). You can install the preset settings into your Ricoh and shoot JPEGs with a similar look. Interestingly, you can also use these recipes as LUTs. Although I don’t recommend the Ricoh GR for video, it can be nice in a pinch. The recipes act as LUTs when the Ricoh is put into video mode. This film simulation was created using the famous Positive Film picture profile. I dropped the saturation and the contrast and over-exposed the images a bit more than the standard profile. I’m calling this simulation Natural Analog.
