Classic Emulsion
by Ritchie Roesch · ricohrecipes.com
View original postThe green-negative classic: a Daylight base pushed B5 G12 gives the emulsion its cool cast, with gentle contrast, rolled highlights and softened clarity for a scanned-C41 finish.
- White Balance
- Daylight B5 G12
- Highlight DR
- On
- Shadow DR
- High
- 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 +1/3.
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.
