Positive Emulsion
by Ritchie Roesch · ricohrecipes.com
View original postPositive Film played soft: Contrast -1 with a -4 highlight rolloff and +4 lifted shadows on a warm A9 auto WB. A slide look that behaves like a negative.
- White Balance
- Auto WB A9 G1
- Highlight DR
- On
- Shadow DR
- Low
- 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.

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.
