“FUJICO X1” – MY NEW FUJIFILM FILM SIMULATION RECIPE

UPDATE JULY 2023:

For those who haven’t heard, I’ve set up a print shop on Darkroom. I’m running some promotions right now. The first being all prints are 20% off. The second is the first 50 people to purchase a print from my print shop will receive a second free smaller print mailed out by me. So you if you purchase a 8×10 you’ll get a free 4×6 and if you purchase a 16×20 you’ll receive a free 8×10. A few people have taken advantage of this offer but there is still plenty left. Check out the printshop here – craigbergonzoni.darkroom.com

I’ve been wanting to create some film simulation recipes that have the feeling of some Fuji color film stocks. This one doesn’t hit on that feeling exactly but I think I’m getting closer. I’ve done something in this recipe that I’ve tried before and it’s an effective trick to get a unique look. I set the WB to an extreme and counter act that extreme setting with the WB Shift adjustments. In this instance the result is a slight green cast. In some shots it’s more intense than what I would like but I’ll try another recipe soon that has a different approach.

Here are a few samples of this recipe. There are more samples in the YouTube video above.

Also, I recently became an affiliate for Moment and I’m really excited about it. They sell a lot of great gear for photographers and filmmakers. Here is a link to Fujifilm gear on Moment‘s website. It is an affiliate link and I receive a portion of all purchases made through the link – https://partner.shopmoment.com/P0edVQ

I appreciate all of your support. Truly I do. It’s been amazing to interact with all of you over the last few years.
