View original postBleach Bypass dragged into deep fade: Key -4 darkens the whole frame while highlight contrast +3 keeps a hot core, and a Shade base shifted B10 G12 goes cold. The moodiest recipe in his catalog.
- White Balance
- Shade B10 G12
- Toning
- Off
- Highlight DR
- On
- Shadow DR
- Medium
- Peripheral Illum.
- On
- Noise Reduction
- Off
- ISO
- ISO Auto up to 6400
The ISO here is the author's suggested Auto-ISO ceiling - noise at high ISO reads as film grain, so it's part of the look, not just exposure.
From the creator
Ritchie suggests exposure compensation between +1/3 and +1.
Camera compatibility
Originally created for the GR III - popular on the GR IV too. Every value dials straight in; the presets and settings are identical across bodies. The GR IV's newer sensor renders a touch warmer and brighter, so treat this as a starting point, not a guaranteed match; if it looks too warm, a small white-balance nudge toward blue brings it closer.
