Luke’s Kodak Ektachrome 1600 - Film Simulation for Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx

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.

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.

Ethereal Film 200 - Film Simulation for Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx

This is a new film simulation for the Ricoh GR III (and GR IIIx). I created this recipe from the Bleach Bypass picture profile. I live in an extremely sunny country and most of my photography is done in harsh sun of mid-day and early afternoon. I wanted to make a film simulation which captured the haze of the late summer sun in North Africa and this one fit the bill.

Blueberry Film 400 - New Film Recipe for Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx

I was determined to create a recipe using the built in Cross-Process picture profile as a base. I’ve never been fond of Cross-Process but I thought I would give it a try anyway. I adjusted the picture profile to the magenta setting, made a few tweaks to the contrast and shading, and then took my Ricoh out on the streets of Athens, Greece.

Negative Film GOLD - New Film Recipe on Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx

This week I developed a film simulation for the Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx. I used the new Negative Film picture profile Ricoh just released with Firmware 1.7 and tweaked it slightly. I input a custom white balance, added some saturation, and shifted the colors towards the warm magentas. I’ve entitled this recipe Negative Film Gold.

Negative Film Simulation on Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx - Sample Images

A few days ago, Ricoh released their new Negative Film picture profile for the Ricoh GR III. This film simulation is a welcome companion to Ricoh’s already popular Positive Film profile. The best news of all is that Negative Film is free to all existing GR III users. All you need to do to get the new picture profile is install the latest firmware (version 1.7).

Cotton Color 400 - Film Recipe for Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx

I created a new film recipe for the Ricoh gr iii and griiix called Cotton Color 400. The intent of this simulation is to give the photographer a “default” film recipe that can be used in a wide variety of lighting conditions. Cotton Color 400 features slightly muted colors, low-to-mid contrast, and bright highlights. Kodak’s Portra 400 provided some inspiration for the color palette.

Indigo Film 800 - New Film Simulation for Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx

Indigo Film 800 is built on Ricoh’s pre-installed Retro picture profile and adds a strong dose of saturation and sharpness. The final recipe features a slight white balance shift towards the cooler colors, slightly favoring the blues and magentas. If you don’t know how to input a film recipe into your Ricoh GR III or GR IIIx.
