Ever since I created my first Bleach Wash recipe I knew I wanted to revisit this look and create another variation.

Just like Bleach Wash 1 I created this on my X-T1 but I tried to keep this recipe compatible with as many X-Series cameras as possible. This should work on X-Pro1 and X-E1 cameras as well as everything after.


“BLEACH WASH 2” RECIPE SETTINGS

BASE FILM SIM: PRO NEG. HIGH
DYNAMIC RANGE: DR100
WHITE BALANCE: AUTO
WB SHIFT: R -6, B 6
COLOR: -2
SHARPNESS: +2
HIGHLIGHT TONE: +2
SHADOW TONE: +2
NOISE REDUCTION: -2


Pro Negative High is the base of this recipe. The DR100 and AUTO WB settings make a really flexible recipe to shoot in a variety of lighting situations.

If you like the “bleach bypass” vibe and don’t have one of the latest cameras that have that look built in then give this recipe a try.

I’m trying to get a hold of an X-E1 so I can build some recipes specifically for the the X-Trans I sensor and of course a new camera for X-Trans IV sensor recipes as well.
