Great Video. I value and appreciate content uploaded by fulltime photographer/parttime youtubers rather than from the youtubers who reiterate information they obtained from watching photographer's videos. This is good stuff. Mahalos!
I was just about to start scanning some negatives and editing photos from my yesterday’s autumn photowalk when I saw your new upload. Now I feel even more inspired to start my weekend with some photography related stuff. Thanks for making these videos and really appreciate all the effort you and Neale put on the podcast!
Thanks 😊. This is just what I needed as today I placed an order for an X100V. I got rid of my X100F a year ago in place of an X-T2 along with a couple of F2 primes thinking that I wanted a bit more versatility. However, I found that my inspiration has been stifled by it. Even though its by no means a large camera it doesn't have that take-everywhere vibe that the X100 series has. Its also not as beautiful and doesn't have that pick-me-up feel about it. Looking forward to putting these recipes to the test and trying the new custom settings this new generation of Fujis bring.
Thank you Kevin for sharing these recipes. I wanted to ask in cases where White Balance isn't specified (Meyerowitz for example), would you recommend Auto ? Thanks again !
Dear people. Love this sharing! Really awesome and positive. Question: how can I dial the settings in and then have them stored in camera ? Or Can I Only change 1 simulation that will be stored. I use xpro3
Good one Kevin! Like the update, been using your old settings & shared with others. I like the way you talk through your thinking which subtly informs and educates. Keep up the great work!
@@kevin_mullins I'm good thanks Kevin - strange times tho eh? Trust you are well. I've just set up my X-T4 with some of your settings, have a week of next week and will be shooting around Banchory in Aberdeenshire. I have one question maybe you can help with. I used to leave my first setting on my custom settings to the default setting so by dialling it up, I had a quick way to reset my camera if I wanted to shoot with a simple film simulation like Velvia. I see you use the first slot. Is there an easy way to reset all the settings so I can use all 7 of the presets? best regards, Joe
I like your recipes so much . Are they applicable to Fuji XT5? And, what should I do on the ISO, sorry, I am a beginner, thank you so much for your reply.
Yes, they will all work on X-T5. I'm working on updates as well. Set your ISO to whatever you need it to be to get the exposure correct. If you haven't already tried Auto-ISO, do so. It helps a lot.
Awesome Kevin, Thanks again for all you share with us. Sitting here in my room in a Sydney hotel for two weeks of quarantine, on my way to Brisbane in retirement has given me the opportunity to catch up on your video. I have loaded them into my 100V and will try them out shooting out the window to compare the results. An added bonus is that I gained a much better understanding of the impact of each of the adjustments in the I.Q. menu. I will try them in my other Fuji Cameras when I have a chance. I am also looking forward to watching the presentation you mentioned on how you did the old print photograph scan enhancements when it becomes available. Regards and take care.
Hey Kevin thanks very much for the great videos. I’m going to take your seven settings for a drive, thank you so much. One question, if I don’t want to use one of the seven customers settings and I just wanna use the base settings how do you disconnect The settings and just use your Base Setting? Thx!
I absolutely love love the Kodak Style Standard. A lot of us do not have Classic Neg simulation or Clarity. Can you please do up settings that would mimic this on the X-T30?
I have been exploring the Leica M9 colour science as the camera is now out of production. I find the photo at 5:45 Kodak style the closest that emulates photos out of the M9. Would be helpful if you could add the lens used, camera, aperture and ISO. Could you pretty please create a recipe called the Leica M9 with the XT4 and the required lens to do the job. I will buy it! Thank you.
When setting the custom white balance, do you only have the three options available when you set your custom profile? I haven’t been able to change the whitebalance within the custom profile settings, only choose one of the three I could cusomize in the general white balance settings.
Thank you for the info! On older cameras (X-T3, etc) where there is no GRAIN SIZE setting, what is the grain size (when compared to something like X-T4)? Is it SMALL, LARGE, or somewhere in between?
I would pay you good money to adapt these to xtrans 3 at least. I don't want to fish out to buy a new camera just for these simulations but these are amazing. thanks nonetheless, I was able to use the newspaper one and I love acros even more
Hi, im wondering of buying the fuji xt2 or the xt30, i have a better deal for the xt2 with a battery grip and 4 baterries and the xt30 is cheapar by 70$ but only body. I shoot only jpegs, is their alot more film simulations on the xt30 or the same if not what does th xt30 have that the xt2 does not? Do you have a reccomanded body, i am not a begginer. Thank you😁
Hi Kevin, I was at a Fujifilm event in Los Angeles a few years ago, when I was presented with the Meyerowitz, Parr, Padilla, and a few other simulations. I thought that they were created by Fujifilm (or the representative), and had no idea that they were yours! I like that you've updated them to use Clarity. Great job! Thanks!
One of the Reps (FujiGuys -Billy) was showing them off. I thought they were great! All is mostly well here in the San Francisco Bay Area, save the fires that are ravaging the area and the smoky that's preventing us from getting outside to photograph. I hope that all is great on your end, and I love your Podcast too. Cheers!
Hi Kevin: I see that you have acquired a GFX cameras, and I wondered if you transferred your jpeg settings to the new GFX. I tried copying manually my choices to it, but it does hot appear in the Q menu. I liked it there because I gave them names or titles and so I knew which one I was using. It seems they are real gated to the C1-C6 settings on the dial of my Fuji GSx50SII> Any thoughts or ideas around this.
Thanks a lot Kevin, your custom settings are a bliss. I am using the old custom settings when I shoot JPEG with my XE3. I love the 50s Noir and Newspaper. Not sure how to use that on my XE3. Just copied what ever available on my XE3.
Hello :) First of all .... amazing work :) Thank You so much for sharing your experience with Fuji systems with us :) I love the Padilla BW recipe, personally I use -1 in Highlight but thats only a minor tweak .... I've got 2 questions tho.... Do you leave Dynamic Range on 100 ?? Auto ?? 200 ?? in here ?? and how about turning on the colour chromatic effect ? Does it make any difference on BW images ?? All the best to you
Thanks, Kevin. I tried to simulate a film noir look with Mono + Red and some other adjustments. But I was not always satisfied with the results. I'm giving your 50s Noir look a try and will compare the two. Cheers!
Really excited to see some new film sim recipes! I have been using a few of your older ones with minor tweaks and really enjoy them. Will have to put these on my X100V for some weekend shooting. SuRe hope Classic Neg and other newer adjustments comes to X-T3 some day soon as I really enjoy it on my X100V.
In my copy of Fuji X Raw Studio, I cannot find the Camera Profile panel used to download a setting recipe to the camera (either a X-T3 or T30). I also don't see it mentioned anyway else on the web except in this video. Is there something I am missing? Thanks
I think that feature only works with the latest generation of cameras. You'll need to dial the settings into your camera manually, which only takes a few moments.
Awesome work, you mentioned using spot metering to start, I enjoy black and white but default to matrix. How do you use this setup within a wedding especially contrasty situations outside and in ? Most of my XT4 settings are similar.
I pretty much always use spot metering but couple it with back button focusing. That way I can focus and meter off two different things if necessary. Works really well when you get used to it.
Hi Kevin. I had a question about HEIF files on my xt-5. I have taken test shots of the same item with as a jpeg and then as a heif. I've noticed the heif has a much better contrast and sharpness to the picture. Are you noticing this as well?
Hi Youssef - my guess (and it's only a guess) is that HEIF files have less compression in them. I haven't fully looked at HEIF files myself yet. But now that Lightroom supports them I'll be doing just that.
Hi Kevin, for this Vid did you shoot RAW to be able to use Xraw studio or did you shoot Jpeg standard and then adjust the images with the new film sim settings?
Thank you very much Kevin for your work that you have put into this. I have some custom simulations that i'm happy with but i was really looking for some inspiration how to edit Classic Neg and both Meyerowitz and Parr looks beautiful! Oh and all all those black and white simulations are great.... Well it's good that we have that X RAW studio and we can try it out. :)) Thank you again, also for the wonderful FujiCast.. wish you all the best and good light!
Hey Kevin, wonderful pics as always :). , one ques plz - u often have quite deep shadows so do you take pictures a bit overexposed to startwith ? as when i try the same i endip with just super dark blobs :(
Not really. I almost always use spot metering with back button focus. That way I can get the exposure exact that I want. Takes a bit of getting used to but worth it in the end 😃
You can use either. X-Raw studio if you the latest cameras will allow you to add them from the PC. Or you can just dial them into your custom settings on the camera itself.
@@kevin_mullins understand. Appreciate your reply. Your the man that got me into fujifilm. Hope your safe and well. Love to family and keep up the good work.
Hello Kevin. I'm going to ask a dumb question. Can you apply all these custom settings to a single photo? Example. You take a picture and you have 7 versions of the photo on the card. Or can you shot RAW the add one of these settings and save then to the card in camera? Thanks for your videos.
Not a dumb question at all. You can get close with film SIM bracketing but it won't do exactly what you want. The best thing would be to use X-Raw studio after.
I am so happy with your great video and sharing the settings. Great ! Now I also would like to store these settings in my camera. I am not able to see that I could change this in custom settings ? Am I confused ?
After creating the custom profiles on X Raw Studio.. When I select a picture and then select one of the Custom Profiles on X Raw Studio., I keep getting a pop up message saying "some conversion settings are adjusted for raw files below" is there anyway to switch this warning off?
Awesome video and great JPEG settings! One thing I wanted to add was in regards to Clarity. If you set the Clarity option, this only applies in Single Shot drive mode. If you switch to Continuous mode, it will disable Clarity automatically. I usually like to leave Clarity enabled with Single Shot mode as it slows me down a little bit, but with my little ones, sometimes you just need to use Continuous shooting to capture that rare moment where they are both looking at the camera! In those situations where I need to use Continuous drive mode, I find my RAW file afterwards, go into Fujifilm X RAW Studio and add the Clarity.
Thanks, Shawn. I do mention the clarity bit in the video and that it will slow everything down a little. Good tip about returning the X-Raw if you are shooting continuous. :-)
Kevin Mullins Thanks Kevin! Always enjoy your photography and content, between TH-cam, your blog and FujiLove. I really wish Fujifilm would develop a Lightroom and/or Capture One plugin for X RAW Studio integration, that would be amazing. Fujifilm JPEGs are usually all I ever need and having X RAW studio to adjust things after the fact but maintain those beautiful Fuji colors would be tremendous!
Hi Kevin, I've got 2 questions about X-RAW Studio - First : Is it possible to erase 1 profile in User Profile and rename it? Strictly impossible here - Second : With my X-E3 I don't have Camera Profile panel with the button SAVE in X-RAW Studio - All seems ok , software and camera, I really don't understand the problem. The X-E3 is not compatible or other,… - Thanks
For the User Profile, I can just Right click and choose rename etc? That works fine. For the Save to camera, I believe that is only available for the very latest Cameras (X-Pro3, X100V, XT-4 etc). So you will need to dial in the settings in the camera (which should only take a few moments).
@@kevin_mullins Thanks for your reply Indeed save camera certaintly for new cameras, bad news. And right click not possible for me, I tries a lot... maybe because I'm on mac, strange. Best
So generous to share these, thanks Kevin. Love the Parr, Meyerowitz and Kodak in particular and looking forward to trying them with my x100v. One question - which I’m guessing you won’t be able to answer as a Win user (maybe Neal knows?) - do you know if the X Raw Studio copy to camera settings works on the Mac?
Ahh...just found the answer further down in the comments.....it only works with the latest generation cameras and my camera is an XT3, so that feature isn't available :(
@@kevin_mullins oh my goodness you answered i sure will!!! This message made my day!!! I have one more question but how did you manage to change the the name on your jpg setting i can't seem to find out how to do it on my X E-1??
Kevin, I love these!!!! Are some of these shot on the XPRO3? I’m considering adding the XPRO3 to my current kit of XT3 & X100V. I like my X100V so much that the XPRO3 is enticing me. I’m a full-time headshot & portrait shooter, sometimes in a small studio but often outside a natural light. I also shoot occasional family sessions. Do you think that the XPRO3 could handle all of that?
One question if I may..I always punched the recipe settings straight into the camera and I always thought that you should be able to use X Raw Studio to put it in my XT-3 but was never able to . And now I see you do it on screen... I'm using the latest version of Studio and there is a 'çopy to ' command but it leads me straight to my HD and not the camera. Do you know what I'm doing wrong ?! Thanks for you help !
I haven't tried it on an X-T3, but don't see why it wouldn't work just as it does with the X-Pro3 and X100V. Might be a silly question, but are you sure you are in X-RAW Studio and not X-Acquire?
@@kevin_mullins Many thanks for getting back so quickly! I thought that too....but yes it's the X. I'll try my xpro 2 or my F..Yes , Fuji owes me favour .... Back to the grindstone and thanks again !
@@kevin_mullins Hi Kevin, After some digging I found out that they only started doing that with the very latest models : xpro-3, xt4 and the V. No copying to the camera before those.Cheers.

Will you providing an update of your settings for 2022? 😀😀
thank you will try them all. I understand the settings but not WC MG+1 what is this please. Great video
Wonderful film simulations. Do you add these simulations in camera while shooting, or do you add them while editing the photo while on the computer?
On Padilla which is the DR settings? Auto or maybe 200? Thanks
you have to start with a flat raw file wihout settings on pc? before you change and make it a recipe

Hello and thanks very much for the video and settings! Do these settings apply to XT30 as well?
Some of them will. But I don't think features such as clarity are on the XT30.
can you let me understand why you prefer to use classic neg instead of classic chrome, thanks😉
When they introduced classic neg I knew it would give me new options. Classic Chrome is what I use on my older cameras.
Thanks a lot for sharing those !
My pleasure!
I assume if you shoot raw you could also do these in x-raw studio?

Whowh I didn’t know about Fuji XRaw studio. Super!
Yup, it's great.
Kevin Mullins Seems super useful. It was a pain to try to set up everything in camera and then see what’s the results. Thank you!!
Hi Kevin,
do you use any Filters on your Cameras? Sometimes it looks like the highlights are softened even before a preset is applied.
No, I never use filters ever (apart from filming).
Is it possible to use recipes in videomode?
You can configure a similar recipe, but you can't use custom settings.
Thanks a lot Kevin! Is it normal for the camera to save long when Colour Chrome FX is active?
It is more than likely the Clarity setting. This slows things down and hopefully something Fujifilm might fix in firmware.
Hi Kevin, for this Vid did you shoot RAW to be able to use Xraw studio or did you shoot Jpeg standard and then adjust the images with the new film sim settings?
RAW. You can only use RAW with X-Raw Studio.
Thanks Kevin for a very informative. Really good to see the break down. I have to say Fujifilm came up trumps with Classic Negative. 😊
They did indeed!
Thank you very much Kevin for your work that you have put into this. I have some custom simulations that i'm happy with but i was really looking for some inspiration how to edit Classic Neg and both Meyerowitz and Parr looks beautiful!

Hi Kevin! These look awesome. Do you have the DR settings for each one?
I keep DR at 100% all the time these days. I feel the newer sensors are good enough to control the ISO separately.
Do we put these Sims into Camera through PC or in the camera manually?
You can use either. X-Raw studio if you the latest cameras will allow you to add them from the PC. Or you can just dial them into your custom settings on the camera itself.
Have I totally missed this or where is the x100v review or thoughts?
I've been stuck at home for the last 15 months so not a lot to shoot I'm afraid.
@@kevin_mullins understand. Appreciate your reply. Your the man that got me into fujifilm. Hope your safe and well. Love to family and keep up the good work.
Hello Kevin. I'm going to ask a dumb question. Can you apply all these custom settings to a single photo? Example. You take a picture and you have 7 versions of the photo on the card. Or can you shot RAW the add one of these settings and save then to the card in camera? Thanks for your videos.
Not a dumb question at all. You can get close with film SIM bracketing but it won't do exactly what you want. The best thing would be to use X-Raw studio after.
@@kevin_mullins Ahhh yes. Thank you again.
wherew do you save it? film simulations?
You can save them in Custom Settings in the camera.
I am so happy with your great video and sharing the settings. Great ! Now I also would like to store these settings in my camera. I am not able to see that I could change this in custom settings ? Am I confused ?
After creating the custom profiles on X Raw Studio.. When I select a picture and then select one of the Custom Profiles on X Raw Studio., I keep getting a pop up message saying "some conversion settings are adjusted for raw files below" is there anyway to switch this warning off?
Not sure about that. I've never seen that message. Are you using the latest version of X-Raw? It was updated recently.
Awesome video and great JPEG settings! One thing I wanted to add was in regards to Clarity. If you set the Clarity option, this only applies in Single Shot drive mode. If you switch to Continuous mode, it will disable Clarity automatically. I usually like to leave Clarity enabled with Single Shot mode as it slows me down a little bit, but with my little ones, sometimes you just need to use Continuous shooting to capture that rare moment where they are both looking at the camera! In those situations where I need to use Continuous drive mode, I find my RAW file afterwards, go into Fujifilm X RAW Studio and add the Clarity.
Thanks, Shawn. I do mention the clarity bit in the video and that it will slow everything down a little. Good tip about returning the X-Raw if you are shooting continuous. :-)
Kevin Mullins Thanks Kevin! Always enjoy your photography and content, between TH-cam, your blog and FujiLove. I really wish Fujifilm would develop a Lightroom and/or Capture One plugin for X RAW Studio integration, that would be amazing. Fujifilm JPEGs are usually all I ever need and having X RAW studio to adjust things after the fact but maintain those beautiful Fuji colors would be tremendous!
Hi Kevin, I've got 2 questions about X-RAW Studio - First : Is it possible to erase 1 profile in User Profile and rename it? Strictly impossible here - Second : With my X-E3 I don't have Camera Profile panel with the button SAVE in X-RAW Studio - All seems ok , software and camera, I really don't understand the problem. The X-E3 is not compatible or other,… - Thanks
For the User Profile, I can just Right click and choose rename etc? That works fine. For the Save to camera, I believe that is only available for the very latest Cameras (X-Pro3, X100V, XT-4 etc). So you will need to dial in the settings in the camera (which should only take a few moments).
@@kevin_mullins Thanks for your reply Indeed save camera certaintly for new cameras, bad news. And right click not possible for me, I tries a lot... maybe because I'm on mac, strange. Best
Thanks for sharing the JPEG settings. While I will try these on my x-pro3, has anyone tried these JPEG settings on a GFX camera?
I use variants of these on my GFX100, too :-)
Love this, thanks! Now if only I could bracket 3 of the custom settings, I'd be in heaven. :)
Quite!
So generous to share these, thanks Kevin. Love the Parr, Meyerowitz and Kodak in particular and looking forward to trying them with my x100v. One question - which I’m guessing you won’t be able to answer as a Win user (maybe Neal knows?) - do you know if the X Raw Studio copy to camera settings works on the Mac?
Pretty sure the the software is identical on both platforms. It's free, so no harm in trying it out.
@@kevin_mullins I have it on my Mac but there isn't the option to save settings into the custom settings. It's version 1.11.00
Ahh...just found the answer further down in the comments.....it only works with the latest generation cameras and my camera is an XT3, so that feature isn't available :(
Is it possible to use these setting on the X-E1 camera???
For the X-E1 you will be better off looking at my previous video about JPEG settings: www.f16.click/blog/tips/fujifilm-jpeg-settings.html
@@kevin_mullins oh my goodness you answered i sure will!!! This message made my day!!! I have one more question but how did you manage to change the the name on your jpg setting i can't seem to find out how to do it on my X E-1??
Sadly you can't do that on the older cameras. You can only have them names as Custom 1,2 etc 🙁
@@kevin_mullins okay then now i know 😄 Thanks

Kevin, I love these!!!! Are some of these shot on the XPRO3? I’m considering adding the XPRO3 to my current kit of XT3 & X100V. I like my X100V so much that the XPRO3 is enticing me. I’m a full-time headshot & portrait shooter, sometimes in a small studio but often outside a natural light. I also shoot occasional family sessions. Do you think that the XPRO3 could handle all of that?
Hi Donavan. I think most of these are X-Pro3. Certainly I think the X-Pro3 could handle everything you want.
One question if I may..I always punched the recipe settings straight into the camera and I always thought that you should be able to use X Raw Studio to put it in my XT-3 but was never able to . And now I see you do it on screen... I'm using the latest version of Studio and there is a 'çopy to ' command but it leads me straight to my HD and not the camera. Do you know what I'm doing wrong ?! Thanks for you help !
I haven't tried it on an X-T3, but don't see why it wouldn't work just as it does with the X-Pro3 and X100V.
Might be a silly question, but are you sure you are in X-RAW Studio and not X-Acquire?
@@kevin_mullins Many thanks for getting back so quickly! I thought that too....but yes it's the X. I'll try my xpro 2 or my F..Yes , Fuji owes me favour .... Back to the grindstone and thanks again !
@@kevin_mullins Hi Kevin,
After some digging I found out that they only started doing that with the very latest models : xpro-3, xt4 and the V. No copying to the camera before those.Cheers.
Ah, there we go then. I did not know that either.
amazing.. thank you........
Thank you for sharing!
No problem :-)
