Thanks so much for tuning in from so far away!

That is so good to hear! Don’t forget to share your favourite three with us!

Hey Marco! These recipes are all @FujiXWeekly recipes.

Hey Randy! That’s awesome to hear. Can’t wait to see your images! Great question! There is no such thing as negative sharpening even though the numbers may make you think otherwise. This means that -4 is just the smallest amount of sharpening applied. You could possibly think of zero as a “normal” amount and +4 the most amount of sharpening. Not sure if it makes sense but that’s how I think of it. I hope this helps!

If you want to achieve something that resembles a “soft” look, you could work with negative clarity.

Hey Chris! I think you are referring to this page. Correct? fujifilm-x.com/en-us/exposure-center/get-to-grips-with-film-simulation-modes/

... curious to hear how this story unfolds!

That's great! Have fun with it! Looking forward to seeing some of your results on Instagram!

😅

😂 Dan, you have much better self control than me. I got up on the middle of the night to preorder. Feeling like a drug addict.

Oh dear... 🤭... well, this is totally acceptable and understandable!

What a lovely memory! Thank you for sharing and thank you for supporting our channel!

Hi Larissa! Thank you so much for watching and welcome to the Fujifilm family! We are so happy to hear tat you are enjoying shooting with recipes! Great question. We will ask our two experts to have a think and get back to you with their answers!

The 1976 Kodak Recipe is specifically modeled after Joel Meyerowitz prints from (mostly) 1976. He shot on various films, including Kodachrome, but his darkroom process was involved, and the printing played a big role in the outcome. 1970's Summer is also an American New Color era look, although more generically (not specifically modeled after Meyerowitz). It's reminiscent of color prints from that era. They're both warm, and generally meant for sunny daylight conditions, although 1976 Kodak has more versatility than 1970's Summer. McCurry Kodachrome is modeled after scans of the last roll of Kodachrome, so it definitely looks significantly different. I hope this answers your question.

Thank you so much for popping in! May I refer you to an article in which I deal with exactly that topic: blog.nathalieboucry.com/rainy-days-never-looked-so-good/ I hope it will help you!

@NathalieBoucry Thanks a lot Nathalie x

Thank you! You too!

Hello there!

Sorry for the technical issues at the beginning of this episode... going live is not for sissies...

Hello there! Thank you so much for stopping by and thanks a stack for the comment and the like 🤟 Your feedback is super helpful! Thank you.

@@NathalieBoucry No problem! Keep it rolling!

hey there! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Thanks so much for stopping by and for your comment. That’s a really good question. Strictly speaking straight out of camera is straight out of camera. The point is to cut out the computer / editing from your workflow and the idea of using recipes with your jpegs is to get them looking so good that you can share them straight from your camera to your phone and with the rest of the world. Having said that there’s no official SOOC police and you can do whatever works for you which by the sounds of it you do. And that’s great too. You are definitely most welcome to upload your images like that for our viewers‘ slideshow. Above that I would recommend to mention “slight edits in LR“, when you share images like that to platforms that aim specifically at SOOC jpegs, so that people that are looking for reference images for a particular recipe look know what they are looking at.

@@NathalieBoucry Thank you very much for your detailed answer.

Personally, I still consider SOOC a picture if all I need is to straighten and crop

So sorry Enrico 😢 We streamed at the same time (19:00 GMT+2) but I think you are on daylight saving time and turned clocks back by an hour last week. Is that possible?

@@NathalieBoucry yes, that's it .... Anyway, I followed the episode just after it finished, I'm eager to test the Reala Ace recipe in XT4 "flavour"!

same here, they are in all frankness, very gimmicky especially since the camera raw engine has limited parameters to control tonal values and lacks color curves. Having said so, the only 2 simulations I find useful are classic chrome, acros and classic negative. The rest are honestly just garbage!

Thanks for letting us know about that so we could catch it quickly!

Great stuff! Hopefully the discussion has been helpful! We look forward to everyone's submissions!

That's awesome. Thank you so much for your feedback!

Thanks for the feedback. So happy to hear.

Hey Richard! I am super happy to hear that you enjoyed this episode and find the info useful. Sounds like you are getting ready for an amazing trip! We loved using our portable hard drive during our trip. It worked like a bomb. It seems though that Western Digital no longer makes this particular device. There are other manufacturers that make a similar product, like this one from SSK for example: www.amazon.com/SSK-Personal-External-Wireless-Auto-Backup/dp/B08J488MZP/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=external%2Bhard%2Bdrive%2Bwith%2Bsd%2Bcard%2Breader&qid=1689927561&sr=8-4&th=1 I haven't used it so I can't vouch for it but it seems very popular. Another one is more like an SD card reader on steroids that can transfer files but requires an additional SSD to store them: www.amazon.com/NewQ-Filehub-AC750-Travel-Router/dp/B09T9QKQH7/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=external+hard+drive+with+sd+card+reader&qid=1689927561&sr=8-3 which is great if you already have a portable SSD or a particular brand you trust. I would probably go with this one as I own Samsung SSDs I trust and use all the time. I hope this helps! Hopefully until next week Thursday for the Q&A part of our Travel Photography Edition!
