“PATINA PASTEL”
BASE FILM SIMULATION: Classic Chrome
DYNAMIC RANGE: DR200
HIGHLIGHT: 1
SHADOW: -2

WHITE BALANCE: AUTO WB
WB SHIFT: R 2, B -5
NOISE REDUCTION: -4
SHARPENING: 1

This is my latest recipe based on Classic Chrome. I was just playing around with some variations on some vintage looks and stumbled across this combination of settings.
This could be a sequel to SKYLIGHT. It’s so similar that I could have titled this SKYLIGHT 2 but since the WB is auto and I use a WB shift instead I figured it would benefit from a new name. This one is a little more versatile for different lighting sources.
I feel like this is a good mix of vintage and modern. I really dig that. I hope you enjoy it too!
