A recipe library
for Fujifilm
photographers.

A library of Fujifilm film simulation recipes — the small set of in-camera parameters (film simulation, dynamic range, white balance shifts, highlight / shadow / colour / grain) that together produce a specific photographic look. Each recipe is published as a single page with the exact settings, the cameras it works on, and a short editorial explanation of why those numbers and not others.

We don't post photographs of "what the recipe looks like." Photographs shot by photographers we don't know, lit by light we can't see, edited in apps we can't audit, would be visual filler — not evidence. The settings are the truth. The light you're shooting in is the variable.

Recipes are generated by a hybrid pipeline: AI-assisted authoring on top of the known catalogue of Fujifilm film simulations and parameter ranges, validated by an editorial gate that rejects anything that contradicts what a Fujifilm camera can actually do (wrong parameter ranges, film simulations a body doesn't support, generic boilerplate prose). The full process is described in How recipes are crafted.

The web library is the open, free reference layer. The companion iPhone app — launching soon — reads the light, scene and camera in your hand and suggests a recipe tuned to that moment. The web is the encyclopedia; the app is the recipe for tonight.

Recipes are plausible starting points based on documented Fujifilm conventions. They're not a guarantee that a specific photograph will look a specific way — light, exposure, lens, and your eye all change the outcome. Adjust freely; the parameters here are the conversation opener, not the final word.
