Some of the RNI’s Kodak profiles look surprisingly similar to Cinestill. And they are profiled to the x-trans cameras too.
Overall, I’m finding the RNI film profiles (google for All Films 5) more sophisticated and accurate than the Fuji’s built-in simulations. Again, google for RNI Fuji Pro 160NS vs Fuji Classic Neg comparisons.

I’ve used RNI. In fact, I have two of their apps on my phone right now. They do good work. Alien Skin Exposure is probably better than RNI for desktop. However, I almost never use RNI (or Exposure) because it adds significant time to my workflow and I’d be less productive. Also, for me, shooting recipes is much more fun.

Hi Ritchie
First of all thank you for the awesome work you are making.
I have a couple of questions
1. About White balance shift. Some of your recipes require tweak it. I cannot change it from within the Q button, but I have to do it from the Menu instead.
The problem is that the configuration I make will have effect in all 7 memory banks of my X100F.
How do I do to keep more than one recipe?
2. My preferred color photographer is Saül Leiter. When will you publish a recipe for his color?
Thanks and regards

Regarding the White Balance Shift, only the newest cameras, X-Pro3 and newer) can save the shift within the Q menu. I wish all Fujifilm cameras could. The best workaround is to use different white balances, because the camera will remember a shift per white balance. Or, somehow keep track of the shift and remember to change it each time.
Regarding Saul Leiter, I believe he used Kodachrome very early on, but switched to color negative film, and he was known for using any film, especially generic store brand and preferring it to be expired. So it’s hard to know exactly.

With the GFX100, I’m not sure if it’s more similar to the X-T3 & X-T30, or more like the X-Pro3, X-T4, X100V, & X-S10. The GFX-50S is more like the X-T3 & X-T30, but the GFX100 is newer, so I’m not sure. The X-T3 & X-T30 recipes (as well as X-Trans III recipes) work on the GFX-50S but the results are very slightly different (still very close, though). I imagine that either the X-T3 & X-T30 or the X-Pro3, X-T4, X100V & X-S10 will be compatible with the GFX100. Sorry that my answer isn’t more definitive.

So, Capture One (and every other RAW editor) will read what the JPEG settings were and will apply its interpretation of those settings to the RAW file, but some things (like Dynamic Range) aren’t applied, and the things that are applied won’t appear exactly the same. There’s really no way to create an identical image to the sooc JPEG without a lot of fiddling.

Hey Ritchie, love these recipes, thank you for your hard work! I have a question, which you may have half answered above, just want to clarify. At the moment I shoot in RAW only, so I’ve been making sure that Lightroom imported and applied the camera settings so that my RAW files would have the right film simulation in tact. Works great for the default simulations. Is there any way to do this with recipes? i.e to import all the other settings that get changed (shadows, highlights, clarity, etc..)? Sorry if this is more specific to editing software than your recipes, I just can’t figure out how to recreate something in post that looked great on camera without shooting in JPEG. Thanks!

Lightroom (and really every RAW processor) doesn’t apply its interpretation to every JPEG setting, unfortunately. It would be nice if they did! Like you found out, many of the settings just aren’t interpreted by the software. I think a nice alternative would be if Fujifilm cameras could save in TIFF. The X-T4 can I believe when using X RAW Studio, but not sooc. If you could save in TIFF in-camera, then you’d have more editing flexibility if you needed to post-process, or if you liked the sooc image, then you’re done.

Given that the X-T3 has the same X-Trans IV sensor like the newer models, and assuming the same parameter settings, (disregarding Classic Negative), I am wondering why are there certain X Trans IV recipes like the Kodak Gold v2 not listed for the X-T3. Are they not compatible? Can you justify this?

It’s more than just Classic Negative. Clarity, Color Chrome FX Blue, and Grain size are all different, among other things. So for Kodak Gold v2 you could use a 1/8 Black Pro Mist or 5% CineBloom to replicate Clarity (since the X-T3 doesn’t have it). That recipe doesn’t call for CCEB, so you’re good there, but if it did that would be an issue. Then ignore Grain size, since that’s not an option on your camera. That will allow you to use it. So, with some modifications, sometimes these recipe can be used, but they’re not directly compatible. Even though it’s the same sensor and processor, it’s like two different generations of cameras.

Greetings fellow FUJI CAMERA FAMILY MEMBERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD.
In October 2021 I bought a brand new x100f over the V while in the USA ( had heard about some heating issues & did not want a touch screen ) as a street camera to fill the Gap between my Nikon & iPhone.
Heard about the recipes by you & well tried to feed them in but somehow I have failed at the process, I feel it changes my camera settings / does it alter the already fed-in Simulations within the Camera?
But my question is whatever changes I make to get a Recipe can be done by me on Lightroom on the Image correct so then why do I do it in Camera ???
also on the X100F, I am unable to name the Custom setting why ??
Lastly, this is for any other FujiX100 users & this is my personal view I bought it as a street shooter but somehow it felt too small & the Autofocus was just never up to the mark for me in real-life conditions BUT BUT recently I did some Boudoir shoots & surprisingly as strange as it may sound it’s Just perfect at least to me as a camera for Boudoir shoots don’t know why but it trumps my Nikon ( & as a digital shooter never shoot B&W always do that in the post ) but in this new ART form I use Acros all the time…hence wanted to learn how to use the recipes.
Thou in LR I do edit but they seem perfect and require very minimal or no edit on my JPEGS.
Apologies for the Long post…..Probably my very first & last Post here…..lots of Love to all Fuji Lovers from BOMBAY / India 🙂 you can see my work on Insta at @rajsingharora with my FUJI.

YES also played with a lot of 35mm film this year & varied ANALOG cameras and personally found the Fuji Superia 400 to be the best most spectacular in results over all the Kodak films I shot especially over the POTRA & ILFORD 400.

Lightroom (or any other RAW editor) will apply its version of its interpretation of some (but not all) of the JPEG data to the RAW. So it can get you a start, but you’ll still have to edit to try to make it “match” the straight-out-of-camera JPEG. The advantage of using the recipes is that you don’t need to edit your pictures if you don’t want to—they’re good to go the moment they’re captured.
I don’t know why Fujifilm doesn’t allow for custom naming C1-C7 presets on the X100F… I believe some X-Trans III cameras can, and all X-Trans IV can.
When you program a recipe into C1-C7, it “deletes” that built-in preset; however 1) these aren’t anything special (they are defaults with everything set to 0, Off, or Auto) and 2) they’re pretty easy to reset should you ever want to.
I hope this helps!

This is a great site and resources for film simulation recipes. Is there that much difference between the sensors that recipes aren’t translatable?
I have a GFX 50R and see that most of the X-Trans recipes can be loaded and saved as presets on the 50R with the exception of the Clarity, Color Chrome FX Blue options that are in the later X-Trans recipes. With any recipe with a half step increments I just round to the nearest whole increment which gets me mostly in the area.

X-T3/X-T30 recipes are fully compatible, technically, with the GFX 50R. Color rendition is slightly different, but it’s very subtle and not a big deal whatsoever. Shadow rendering is the biggest difference, as shadows are lighter on the GFX camera. Adding +1 Shadow is too much. A +0.5 adjustment would probably be close, but the GFX 50R doesn’t have that. However, it’s about finding what works best for you, and not whether something is precise or not. If you’ve modified (“seasoned to taste”) a recipe to make it work for you, that’s great!

Hi Ritch,
I really appreciate your work, and I have to correct you in the Bayer sensor segment, you included the first-gen x100 which actually has an EXR sensor
speaking of EXR I’d like to see if any of these recipes work with EXR cameras like the x100, and x10…etc
I am buying an x10 tomorrow though I did not find any film sims for it online 😦
Thanks.

You are right, the original X100 is EXR and not Bayer. Fujifilm abandoned EXR with the introduction of X-Trans. The X100 and X10 are older models, and not too many are still using them (according to a survey that I conducted last year). I would look at X-Trans I and Bayer recipes… those that use Provia, Velvia, and Astia should be “technically” compatible, but you’ll have to see if you like the rendering, which is likely slightly different.

Hi! do you have any simulations for the X10?

No, not really. You can try X-Trans I recipes, there should be some level of cross-compatibility, but likely a slight variance in rendering.

I am purchasing XT100 for just film simulations but after reading up I am under the impression that simulations are very much restricted on that model. How much difference can it make when purchasing only for the simulations?

The X-T100 has fewer options and fewer recipes. It’s a good camera, but more limited when compared to other Fujifilm models. I would recommend an X-T30 II or X-E4 if you can afford it, or if you cannot, the X-T30, X-T20, and X-E3 are other models to consider.
