Blueberry Film 400

Cross Processing pointed at blue hour: desaturated, darkened Key, and the Magenta color tone that gives the whole frame its blueberry cast. A moody experiment that landed.

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

Luke runs exposure compensation between 0 and +1/3 on this one.

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.
