Film Recipe for Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx - Negative Color Summer. This is my first attempt to start a database of Ricoh GR recipes I find on the internet. In the coming months I hope to add new picture profiles I find online.

Need a little saturation in your life? Try out this Ektar Ultra Film preset. It gives punchy colors, high saturation, high contrast, and overall rich tones to your images. You can download the preset using the button below. It is free and works in Adobe Lightroom.

This new film simulation for the Sigma FP and FP L is based on Sigma’s “Portrait” Color Mode, which I’ve never used before. I haven’t toyed with this particular color mode enough to give you an opinion on its quality, but I will say these initial photos indicate good things. I think the Sigma did an excellent job capturing the colors and the contrast of the Albanian spring flowers and foliage.

The Powder Blue Color Mode on the Sigma FP continues to be my favorite built-in picture profile, and I’ve once again modified it to create a new film simulation on my FP. I’ve dubbed this one “Azure Natural.” This time, I’ve decreased the strength of the Powder Blue profile, setting it to -2. The saturation of the overall image is increased to the maximum, a slight amount of sharpness has been added, and contrast is slightly diminished. All of these settings can be adjusted and saved in-camera, and they are applied to the final JPEG image.

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.

Look, we all know the Fujifilm x100VI is going to be a great camera. It gives consumers exactly what they’ve been asking for, and the pre-orders are the proof. But don’t you want to be different? You don’t want to be exactly like everyone else, do you? If the answer is “no” let me suggest an alternative route, the Sigma FP and FP L.

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.

Many people are scrambling to get their hands on the Fujifilm x100VI, but before you go out and spend all your hard earned cash, let me propose 5 alternative cameras that you should consider. While this isn’t an exhaustive list, the Sony rx1r mark ii, Sigma FP, Lumix gx9, Fujifilm x100, and Ricoh GR III are all worthy competitors to the Fujifilm. Let’s discuss their strengths compared to the Fujifilm offering.

Today I’m releasing a brand new film simulation for the Sigma FP and Sigma FP L called “Something Blue.” Having photographed with Sigma’s Powder Blue color mode a few months back, I wanted to create a film recipe that used similar, but more subtle, colors. This simulations is suitable for everyday photography and anyone who wants a pleasing look directly out of the camera.

Fujifilm just released the newest version of their legendary x100 line, the x100VI. According to preliminary sales data, they’ve been flying off the shelves. When you look at the specs sheet, its not hard to see why. Fujifilm managed to take the beloved x100V and make it even better. If you want a review of the x100VI, you’ll find 1,000 of them on other websites. In this post, I want to tell you why I, as a photographer, still prefer the Ricoh GR III to the x100VI.

This is a new film simulation for the Sigma FP series of cameras. If you haven’t checked out the color capabilities of the FP and FP L, I would encourage you to explore them. These cameras have a lot to offer in the way of customization and they even produce beautiful RAW files straight-out-of-camera. I call this film simulation “Moody Orange & Teal.” Its a tweak to Sigma’s own Orange and Teal Color Mode built into the Sigma FP.

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.

For those of you who enjoy film simulations, I’m happy to announce the release of a new one for the Sigma FP series of cameras. I call this one Natural Negative. It takes inspiration from two Ricoh GR III color profiles, Bleach Bypass and Negative Film.
