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.

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.

Ricoh HDR Film is a new film simulation/recipe for the Ricoh GR III and Ricoh GR IIIx. The instructions and recipe are free in the post. All sample images are unedited straight out of my Ricoh GR III. Ricoh HDR Film is based off Ricoh’s HDR Tone picture profile.

Analog Negative Film is a new film simulation/recipe for the Ricoh GR III and Ricoh GR IIIx. The instructions and recipe are free in the post. All sample images are unedited straight out of my Ricoh GR III. Analog Negative is based off Ricoh’s Negative Film simulation.

I’m back this week with another Ricoh GR III (and GR IIIx) film simulations. In my never ending pursuit to create a Kodak Portra 400 recipe, I was doing some experimenting, and came up with what I’m calling Kodak Magenta Chrome. Admittedly, the recipe isn’t that close to Porta, but that is ok.

This is a new film simulation for the Ricoh GR III (and GR IIIx). I created Pastel Film 400 using the pre-installed Negative Film Preset. It features low contrast and mid-high saturation. My favorite thing about this film recipe is how it renders blue colors. Blues are captured in a pastel pallet. Deeper blues are lightened, bringing an overall softness to the images.

Enjoy this free preset named Arabian Days, which you can download on my website. The preset can be used with any camera’s RAW files or JPEGs. Most of the sample photos for this gallery were made with the Ricoh GR III.

This is a new film simulation for the Ricoh GR III (and GR IIIx). You can install the preset settings into your Ricoh and shoot JPEGs with a similar look. Interestingly, you can also use these recipes as LUTs. Although I don’t recommend the Ricoh GR for video, it can be nice in a pinch. The recipes act as LUTs when the Ricoh is put into video mode. This film simulation was created using the famous Positive Film picture profile. I dropped the saturation and the contrast and over-exposed the images a bit more than the standard profile. I’m calling this simulation Natural Analog.

Enjoy this free preset named Magic Film 800, which you download on my website. The preset can be used with any camera’s RAW files or JPEGs. Most of the sample photos for this gallery were made with the Ricoh GR III.

This is a new film simulation for the Ricoh GR III (and GR IIIx). I created this recipe from the Bleach Bypass picture profile. I live in an extremely sunny country and most of my photography is done in harsh sun of mid-day and early afternoon. I wanted to make a film simulation which captured the haze of the late summer sun in North Africa and this one fit the bill.

I created a preset called Powder Grain which you download for free on my website. The preset can be used with any camera’s RAW files or JPEGs. This preset was created and exported using Lightroom. It is an xmp file.

This is a new film simulation for the Ricoh GR III (and GR IIIx). I had the opportunity to make a quick trip to London and photograph downtown. I hope you enjoy the sample shots. You can find the recipe details on my website for free.

Vintage Fade Film is a new film simulation for the Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx. It features the Bleach Bypass preset, medium contrast, and high saturation. You can find the recipe details on my website for free.

Warm Spring Evening is a new film simulation for the Ricoh gr iii and gr iiix which features the rich gold colors of the setting sun and the cool blues of the early evening light. The recipe is available on my website for free.

Turquoise Film 200 uses Ricoh’s Negative Film picture profile as a foundation and adds some saturation, contrast, and clarity. The white balance is set to K5000 to cool the colors.

I was determined to create a recipe using the built in Cross-Process picture profile as a base. I’ve never been fond of Cross-Process but I thought I would give it a try anyway. I adjusted the picture profile to the magenta setting, made a few tweaks to the contrast and shading, and then took my Ricoh out on the streets of Athens, Greece.

This week I developed a film simulation for the Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx. I used the new Negative Film picture profile Ricoh just released with Firmware 1.7 and tweaked it slightly. I input a custom white balance, added some saturation, and shifted the colors towards the warm magentas. I’ve entitled this recipe Negative Film Gold.

A few days ago, Ricoh released their new Negative Film picture profile for the Ricoh GR III. This film simulation is a welcome companion to Ricoh’s already popular Positive Film profile. The best news of all is that Negative Film is free to all existing GR III users. All you need to do to get the new picture profile is install the latest firmware (version 1.7).
