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.

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.

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.

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.

Recently, I was trying to make a preset that would match Kodak Color Plus 200. I never got to my final destination because I got distracted by a few colors I liked in my experimenting. The final result of my rabbit hole is Kodak Film Overexposed, which is featured in this article. The preset is available for free download and can be used with Adobe Lightroom.

This week I’m releasing a free Lightroom preset modelled after the famous film stock Kodak Portra 400. The preset is my interpretation of the famous Portra colors. The preset is free and I hope you enjoy using it, tweaking it, and making it your own. This preset can be applied to RAW or JPEG photos from any camera.

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.

Ricoh HDR Film is a new film simulation/recipe for the Ricoh GR III and Ricoh GR IIIx. The instructions and recipe are free in the post. All sample images are unedited straight out of my Ricoh GR III. Ricoh HDR Film is based off Ricoh’s HDR Tone picture profile.

Analog Negative Film is a new film simulation/recipe for the Ricoh GR III and Ricoh GR IIIx. The instructions and recipe are free in the post. All sample images are unedited straight out of my Ricoh GR III. Analog Negative is based off Ricoh’s Negative Film simulation.

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.

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.

Enjoy this free preset named Arabian Days, which you can download on my website. The preset can be used with any camera’s RAW files or JPEGs. Most of the sample photos for this gallery were made with the Ricoh GR III.

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.

Enjoy this free preset named Magic Film 800, which you download on my website. The preset can be used with any camera’s RAW files or JPEGs. Most of the sample photos for this gallery were made with the Ricoh GR III.

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.

I’m a Ricoh fan because they created a great product that fits my needs. I went from an unconvinced hesitant buyer to a proud evangelistic Ricoh owner, and I think that is some of the highest praise you can give to a device. The Ricoh GR iii is good at completing the job for which it was built. It captures moments of time I will be able to look back on and cherish in future years. It is a constant companion and trustworthy friend… and who can ask for more than that?!

I created a preset called Powder Grain which you download for free on my website. The preset can be used with any camera’s RAW files or JPEGs. This preset was created and exported using Lightroom. It is an xmp file.

This is a new film simulation for the Ricoh GR III (and GR IIIx). I had the opportunity to make a quick trip to London and photograph downtown. I hope you enjoy the sample shots. You can find the recipe details on my website for free.
