Am I the only one that didn't want this video to end? So easy on the eyes and gosh it was so relaxing, such a pleasure to watch!

haha way too nice. i appreciate it. Yes Fuji are a little too stingy when it comes to color negative. But my recipe works fine with classic chrome! thanks for subscribing. 😀

[@just_eirik]

The thing that gave away that the first photo was film was that it has an extra greenishness and coldness to the shadows. Digital makes the colors more even. I wish Fuji would invent a setting that simulates this for their cameras. Like, imagine if you could set your white balance for highlights and shadows separately. I think that would be really neat.

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

Haha, yeah, the greenish and cold tones in the shadows are classic film. It's interesting to see how digital cameras try to emulate that film look, but it's never quite the same. And I totally agree, it would be amazing if Fuji could come up with a setting like that. Let's hope they're listening!

Just wanted to say good recipe and I appreciate your work. I've tried it for the first time a couple months ago but recently realized that EV was indeed really important here. For people like me who usually just slightly over/underexpose, I didn't get the colors in my first attempt. However, once I significantly increased EV, the colors are absolutely amazing.

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe. It's true, getting the exposure right can make a big difference in bringing out the vibrant colors. Keep experimenting and capturing those amazing shots!

[@eloreneloreneloreneloreneloren]

I have been using this recipe for 2 days now. It's just amazing, perfect for any mood. Fun on the beach? Make an exposure higher. Moody cloudy landscape? Lower the exposure for more contrast. The only thing I changed was the White Balance from Auto to 5900K. I tried lots of recipes and this is just my love for EDC.

[@Elreddo]

Just shot this recipe for the day in London. Stunning stuff, it is one of the most accurately filmic recipes out there, beautiful shots and promoted me to bite the bullet and go JPG only for the day as well. Also, the comment on Fuji's grain application on highlights. Always felt off, could never pinpoint exactly why and you've absolutely nailed it on that one, here's hoping it improves in the future as it feels like it could be somewhat easy to impliment highlight avoidance maybe with a different method of blending.

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

Love to hear it, thanks for the support! If you are shooting important things I would still say to shoot RAW+JPG for safety. Yes, I also hope that Fuji will improve their way of applying grain to the image. In theory, it's not even that hard if you take luminance into account. 😄

[@JayRegular]

Is it just me or everytime theres a new simulation recipe video, I as a fujifilm shooter, sit eagerly with my fuji camera in the IQ menu dialling in the settings, excited about going out and testing it? This is a great recipe and a very good introductory for new users to get them hooked on fujifilm and never want to go back to film ever again. I also found new knowledge knowing about the grain differences between digital and film renditions! Fujifilm's next goal, to reduce grain in highlighted areas and only add in for shadows. And is it really called classic black in Germany??

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

Haha yes. i tried all the fujrumors recipes and was never quite satisfied. However, I did not know for a long time what the reason is. Yes, the digital grain in the standard programs is not as intelligent as it should be. in Davinci reolve, for example, you have much better options, even the brightness is taken into account. I think fuji can still see something off, at least with the grain.😀 Yes, I don't know why they renamed it. Maybe some naming rights maybe.🤷‍♂️

[@yetanotherbassdude]

@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel honestly the name in English is a little odd to me, though nowhere near as weird as "Classic Black" for a *colour* film simulation. The Pro Negative simulation is supposed to be an emulation of Fuji Pro-400H, so why not just call it that like they did for the Provia and Velvia simulations? Yes they discontinued 400H, but that was quite a bit after they'd added the Pro Negative simulations, and they discontinued Acros for a while without affecting the simulation naming. Just seems weird...

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

@@yetanotherbassdude so if it really should be per 400h then the naming is really very strange. Maybe it's also because all the other movie simulations have great names and pro 400h looks a bit strange against it. The only question is why the german name is so strange. 🤔

Really nice work on the film simulation! Just loaded the XTrans3 version up on my X-T20 and I'm really liking the results so far. Love that it works with a manual colour temp light balance as well as Auto, as I won't mess with my Auto until Fuji figure out making custom white balances part of a user profile rather than a global preset! Definitely hear what you're saying about the film grain though and that's definitely something for Fuji to improve. Still a great way to get that look without spending 2021 Kodak prices...

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

thank you, yes i have my x-e3 which has white balance only as a global setting. but the xtrans 4 cameras have their own white balance for each custom setting which is super useful. asl information in case it annoys you too much with your x-t20. yes the high prices was my main reason to develop the recipe. 😀

Great video, recipe and pictures! People think they can tell the difference between film and digital. In reality they can't, even worst when we talk about prints. Some film photographers have the audacity to claim themselves as "real photographers", and get offended when a digital shooter take a great, meaningful and full of soul picture.

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

thank you very much! actually on instagram no one can really determine if a picture is digital or film unless something obvious like halations are going on. Even those can be faked.

you're welcome. old cameras are usually just as good as the newer ones so why leave them out. ✌️

[@albertloan396]

Enjoyed this, thanks for the work you put into it. It is ironic, however, that people today associate film with blown highlights, since most amateur film photography of the past was chronically underexposed. This is because, like today, people, generally, didn't know what a light meter reading really means. All light meters meter for what is called "middle grey", regardless of the actual brightness of your subject. The camera is designed to adjust its settings to give that value. If your subject happens to be "middle grey", not darker or lighter, then you will get a "correct" exposure. However, it is more likely that the subject you want properly exposed is either a stop or more lighter or darker. Most of these scenes that are shown here in this video were of light colored objects some of which were in bright, direct sunlight. Most film users of the past would certainly have underexposed these scenes relying on the settings of their camera's internal light meter, instead of adjusting their settings by 1-3 stops to allow for more light. Digital camera users today also think that what their internal light meter tells them is "the correct" exposure, but digital photography is much more forgiving due to the fact that ISO can be adjusted. So most of the photos you see are just underexposed photos that have been adjusted in post processing, bringing up the highlights. This used to be done in the darkroom when printing, effectively underexposing the positive paper to bring up the highlights and lessen the shadows. That being said, if there is a trend now to over-expose, I imagine this may result in better photography over all.

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

thank you for the kind words. yes, most photographers today probably don't know what their camera's exposure metering actually is. I think it's a big part of the fun of analog photography to adjust the exposure to your liking and then use it to determine the look of your images. i'll have to get into the darkroom sometime to make my own prints. 😀

[@vernonsza]

I like Fuji X Weekly but I have to admit, this is the the most accurate/best color negative simulation I've seen so far. I've come up with a Kodachrome preset that I don't mind sharing as well. I based mine off of the look of the Kodachrome look via Steve McCurry. Exposure comp: -1/3 -- Simulation: Astia -- Grain: weak+small -- Color chrome: Strong -- Chrome FX: weak -- White balance: Auto R +1 B -3-- Dynamic range: 100 -- Tone curve: H-1 S+1 -- Color: +3 -- Sharpness: +1 -- Noise reduction: -4 -- Clarity: 0 I shoot raw+jpeg and use a MUCH better Capture One style for the keepers. I should note that it is the closest I've been able to get and welcome any questions, criticisms or recommendations about it.

Can you explain how to put in the exposure comp setting or do you just do that when you shoot on the chose film simulation?

[@vernonsza]

@@Livinthatlenslife I use the exposure compensation dial on the top of my X-Pro3. Turned one click downward from 0 to -1/3. I do this to protect the highlights a bit more. Also, if you saved a bunch of Kodachrome photos from Steve McCurry's website (the guy most famous for using Kodachrome), and you put those images into Lightroom, you'll notice, as far as the histogram is concerned, most of the information is left of center on the histogram.

[@Livinthatlenslife]

@@vernonsza My question is how to initiate the exposure comp tool. I have a new xt3 and I don't know how to get it to work quite yet

[@vernonsza]

@@Livinthatlenslife Inside the manual for the X-T3 (PDF) on page 2, it shows you where the exposure compensation dial is (physically) on the camera. Page 6 shows you how to use it. Page 83 shows gives you more info about it. You don't really have to initiate anything other than turning it. One way to know it's working is when you're using the camera and seeing a live preview on the screen, turn the dial forwards and backwards, you should see the image getting brighter or darker.

@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel Could you explain where the difference comes from? Why would you not be able to get the same results as the JPEGs in editing? Just to clarify, I'm not arguing against that notion here, just wanting to know why that may be the case.

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

@@nillarafael3883 A raw file is a file format that stores all the information that a sensor can capture. In order to use this information, these files must be interpreted. In this case, capture one or lightroom does this. However, every camera has a built-in raw converter that converts these files to a jpg with the settings that fujifilm has perfected over the years. Why the JPGS from fujifilm are better is that only in the camera has the correct film profiles. the profiles that you can select in C1 or LR are only imitations that do not quite approach the quality but are similar. I hope that answers your question. 😃

Have taken lots of shots with this film sim and will be showing it on my YT channel soon. Thank you so much! SUBSCRIBED!

I hear MuseCam - Photo Editor for iPhone has film recipes options that you can insert with text and when you press the shutter button on your iPhone, you will have all the best Fujifilm and Kodak film Simulations coming out of your iPhone, works the same way that the Fujifilm X Series Cameras do.

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

That may well be that the app can do that. However, I hardly ever take pictures with my iphone, so I can't give you an answer.

[@FryMar]

Great video and film simulation. I like the look very much and will test it out extensively. I used it to take the first test pictures in the office and the photos look really great. Thanks for sharing and for your effort!

Great video! Thanks for not leaving folks with a trans 3 behind :)

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

No, that would almost be mean 😀 However, certain things are only supported with newer cameras.🤷 There is now even a profile that is only supplied with the new GFX100S that does not run on any x-trans camera. that is mean!

[@amity4877]

I couldn't find some of the settings on my camera (X-t30 but im assuming the menus are the same) such as EV, classic negative, tone curve, high iso, clarity etc on mine. may i ask how you applied yours onto your camera? unless u have those settings too lol

[@robertmarshall72]

One word is all you need... Brilliant 😎👍

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

haha ,thanks Robert. too nice. 😄

[@trashbytes]

The images look gorgeous! Are you sure about the white balance shift for Classic Chrome, though? It's rather cold and reducing the reds to -2 makes it even colder. After messing around a bit I found that a shift of +3 R and -4 B or even +4 R and -5 B get's me much closer to what you're showing here. I really dig it! I'll probably tweak it a bit to reflect my shooting style, but so far I'm really pleased. Thank you! We were at the Serengeti Park Hodenhagen the other day and I was using something a tiny bit reminiscent of Portra 400. It's really similar, but I use DR200, Highlights -2, Shadows -2 or -1, Color -2, Sharpness +2 and, of course, NR -4. Based on Classic Chrome as well, as I'm using the X100F. With this one I had the WB shift actually set to +4 R and -5 B. I usually shoot with the EV set to +1/3 and the recipe gives the images an incredibly warm and soft look, with low contrast where no detail is lost in the shadows or in the highlights. You could set the sharpness to 0 and instead up the grain for an even softer and more film like look. Vielen Dank!

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

a nice thanks! It is just a base for the white balance. I change it all the time for different lighting situations. Sa if you don't like the setting then just change it. 😀 Sounds like a good recipe. I will try this out when i get my x-s10 back from repair. 👌

[@peterscott-jones9998]

Thankyou for this inspirational video. I set my XT-3 up with your recipe and went for a walk around and took some very different photographs. Although I use the exposure compensation dial sometimes it's been nothing like this way and boy was I pleased with the results (lesson learned!)...Note to self: must try different recipes more often!

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

my pleasure, normally you only use the dial to correct incorrect exposures. However, you can of course also use it to your advantage, as in my recipe 😀.

[@nillarafael3883]

Interesting video! I've never cared much about the film / digital aspect of things, as long as the shots are nice. Still, it was interesting to see how you'd go about this since you apparently shoot film normally? Thanks for sharing!

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

appreciate it. The recipe only mimics the look of film, but the approach to working with the camera is still completely different. I have to be very precise with the recipe because a JPG doesn't have as much room for post-processing as film. but with film you can't see if you've made any mistakes. so in both cases you have to concentrate on taking the picture, which is something I missed a bit with digital photography. 🙂

[@lostinspacestudio]

Great stuff! Can't change color balance on auto in my xt3 for some reason. I'll Google it

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

thank you, when you are in the white balance menu you have to press with the stick to the right then you come into the custom menu for the detail balance. i hope this helps. 😄

[@GrahamConnor]

Please make more videos featuring this recipe. So dreamy.

[@johnadams3038]

One of the things to get a film look is to get a diffusion filter like the Cinebloom or Tiffen Pro-Mist

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

Yes that's right I have in the DIY mist FIlter video yes talked about that I have emulated a TLR. That has worked really well. 😀

Thanks for sharing your cool settings, I am excited to go out and try it! Quick question about the setting, what does ans +2 EV mean? Great video, great presentation. Liked and subbed!

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

Thanks, EV means exposure value and means that you have to set +2 with the exposure compensation dial. or if you shoot manually just overexpose +2 stops. i hope that answers your question. 😀

[@LetsMakeGhosts]

Excited for more recipes

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

Well, in the next few weeks there will be a new video. 😀

i like your color setting, it helps me to have a better look at negative, i am also a fan of classic chrome, hope you have your own recipe vs classicchrome, thank you for the video

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

Hey Phong, I like classicchrome but classicnegative does something with the colors that looks so much more like film. However, you can use my recipe with both simulations.

[@SantiMaggioSavasta]

Great video and I can’t wait to go and try myself! I set everything in camera, which is the x-100V, and it seems it’s working. I was wondering if I missed something somehow. I get that I have to compensate and over-compensate during shooting but do you mind to explain a little bit further about those first lines? Base, shade, light and overcast? Are these settings related also to the tone curve? Which in that case means that I have to set highlights at +3 and shadows at +2 or I completely missed the point? I would highly appreciate your comment on this! Thank you!

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

with pleasure. so the tone curve always stays the same. the first three entries that refer to EV are only suggestions for light situations so that you don't have to try out so much to adjust the look properly. so the standard setting is the ice setting when everything is fully exposed with the sun when everything is in shadow and just when everything is completely cloudy. like back then on the film boxes. :D i hope this helps you.

[@Guent24]

Großartig! Danke! Ich versuche das Rezept mit meiner XT20 mit Classic Chrome, aber finde die Tone Curve und High Iso Einstellung nicht - Alternative vielleicht Schatten und Lichter? Würde mich über einen Tipp freuen! Auf jeden Fall super Rezept!

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

dank dir! Bei den Xtrans 2 ist die tone curve noch einzeln in "ton lichter" und "schattier. ton" getrennt. "high iso" heißt rauschreduktion. Ich denke das hilft dir weiter. 😀

Hello! I just stumbled across this video, Nice work! Do you have an equivalent recipe for the XE-1? (X Trans Sensor I). Thanks for all your help!

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

Hey, no, unfortunately, I don't have an X-Trans 1 camera. However, check out Fuji X Weekly if you're looking for good recipes for your camera. 👌

[@fedvvvv]

I still shoot film. I have tons of it in my freezer so I'm good for a while. If I ever switch to digital, this will probably be what I'd switch to. My only problem is that I shoot Nikon and would like to continue using my lenses.

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

Yes, fujifilm is making a real effort to be the number one choice for film photographers who want to shoot digital. If you have old Nikon lenses you can certainly use them with an adapter with your fujifilm cameras. however, I do not know if there is a booster so that you can also use the focal length without cropfaktor. in any case, thanks for watching ! 😀

[@fedvvvv]

@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I would need the camera to be full-frame so as to not crop my Petzval lenses for example. But I really appreciate Fuji for finding a niche market in this huge digital camera market.

[@mjfalcon007]

Awesome video, you have produced some amazing results with that recipe, smart move with the HDR at 400% I never really use that tool but it makes sense.

appreciate it. i previously had the HDR feature also only on auto. However, the feature is exactly there to not let the highlights burn out. 😀

[@stevekelly5470]

Thank you, Daniel! really enjoyed this, and love experimenting with new recipes! An easy 'like and subscribe' for me! I have an XT5 so I just set Color Chrome Efex Blue to Weak rather than Strong, and good to go! One question I have - why set Clarity to +4? Most film sim recipes I've seen so far call for a negative value on Clarity, which I can understand, just giving it that less micro-contrast, adding to the filmic look, etc, hence wondered why you've gone for a positive value on this. Thanks much Take care Steve

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

Hey Steve, I'm thrilled you enjoyed the video and that you're up for some creative experimentation! As for your question about Clarity, great observation! I like to add a touch of +4 Clarity to give a subtle pop to certain details without losing the filmic vibe. It's all about finding that balance, and I encourage you to adjust to your taste. Thanks for tuning in and stay creative!

[@UlfKlose]

Very nice recipe. The only thing I don’t get is the EV part. What does “base” mean? Should the EV value be at least 1 2/3 and 2 at most? Did you mean “and” between the base values? I just tried my first images on a slightly overcast day with 1 1/3 and they look stunning.

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

Hey there! Glad you enjoyed the video! 😄 EV stands for "exposure value," and it's like a universal language for photographers to talk about exposure settings. You're spot on, the "base" value refers to the starting point of your exposure settings, and you can indeed use 1 2/3 as a minimum and 2 as a maximum. Keep experimenting, and you'll capture even more stunning shots! 📸
