This recipe has been tested on the X-T5, which means it will be 100% compatible with the new X100VI!
Hi Reggie! Thanks for the recipe. This is my first Fuji (x100vi) and I don’t the noise reduction setting you mentioned. Do you know if that’s something not available on this model compared to the x100v?? I’m still getting used to all the settings and options.
Great to know. My VI is arriving today from B&H so I'll definitely give this a try. Thanks!
Does this work on GFX 100 II?
Yup
Does it work with the same result into fuji xs10 ?
The clarity info was very helpful. After messing with the film recipes I started to get the delay and couldn't figure it out. Thanks for that!
You're a great teacher and a pleasure to follow. Thanks Reggie
Thanks for the kind words!
For a handy list of all the settings, refer to the Fuji X Weekly app or my blog post: reggiebphotography.com/blog/the-most-versatile-fujifilm-x-trans-iv-film-simulation-recipe-reggies-portra
Thank you! Was just about to ask if the recipe was written down anywhere. :)
BULLSHIT 😂😂
THANK YOU so much for this! I brought my X-S20 in my trip, and after applying your recipe, I never had to switch to my other recipes. Landscape, portrait, night shots, food shots, and everything vacation photography in between - all usable in these situations. Came back to this vid to let you know this. Thanks a lot again!
Amazing!
This is so heartwarming
This is so, so awesome Reggie. Many of the Fuji recipes out there for me were too 70s-90s film with a heavy yellow orange tint or the Kodachrome saturation. This is such a nice modern balance of colors and is really terrific. Thank you.
That was the goal.
great video! Watching all of these to prep for the 100VI
Awesome video and recipe Reggie! I’ve just had my new X100VI delivered and excited to experiment with this!
Hey Reggie, thanks for sharing and explaining your amazing recipe! I'm new to photography and went for a Fuji X-S20 and will probably start playing with your recipe only since I want to spend more time with the camera and less on the editing program... I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the manual settings to be honest but watching your content motivates me :)
Fantastic!
Easily my favourite Portra recipe that I use. I shoot heaps of Kodak Portra 400 film and your recipe matches what I see the most when I scan my negatives. I've always been dumbfounded at the other Portra recipes in the app as they look nothing like anything that I have ever scanned.
yeah, for me i bring a good amount of contrast back to my portra scans
That was a really wonderful explanation of your thought process as you created this recipe. Thank you so much.😊
Appreciate you watching the video and commenting!
Thanks for the recipe Reggie!
This recipe looks so good! I used it on a recent holiday in New Zealand and Australia. A great film recipe to have in the roster
We went for 2 weeks on holidays in Croatia and I was using this recipe. Absolutely perfect ! We had sunsets, street walkings, forest treks, the JPEG's from your formula is perfectly balanced !
With a rainy sky in the evening I thought the color was a bit too warm, so I just had to post process in Capture One later (but the light was also very dim). But I will say that 90% of my pictures which I printed are totally untouched from the camera.
Thank you so much !
🙌🏽
Wow, this is the perfect recipe I've been looking for, thank you so much!! And I loved the photos shown in the video.
Thanks! Are you going to give it a try?
@@Reggiebphoto I took some pictures with my XT4 and it worked great.
Thanks for sharing this recipe with us Reggie.❤
You're welcome!
Excellent, Reggie. I have bookmarked this and will be implementing. Thanks again.
This is genuinely the best recipe I've found on the internet. I love using it with a slight modification of R+2 B-2 WB shift
Wow, thanks!I’m glad
Whoa. I've tried lots of Portra recipes throughout the years but this one works great. It wasn't very different than what I've had except for, setting the Dynamic Range to AUTO and the WB Auto but with -1 less Red than what I had. It made a big difference. Thanks Reggie!
Interesting, it made that big of a difference?
Your narrative style is very nice and interesting. You give very good information in a very calm way. Thank you very much for your effort and information. I will try the settings you mentioned in your video as soon as possible. Thank you Reggie
Thanks 🙏🏽
These are some beautiful photos, excited to try it out on my new x100VI whenever it arrives!
Let us know how it goes!
Hey Reggie, I think I was already using your recipe from 1 year ago so only had to do very minor changes. Your photos look gorgeous, and it's very easy to promote this recipe. Cheers.
Thanks my friend!
Thanks for the recipe! I'm always on the hunt for the that one do it all recipe and I like what I've seen from your sample photos. Will give this one a try for sure.
hope it works out for you!
Love this! Thanks so much for your knowledge!
Try it on your x100v!
Been using your sim for months now and I’m glad I finally found out who the creator was! Keep doing your thing man
Haha, yes. I’m the Reggie behind Reggie’s Portra
I gotta say, I didn't expect this to have such a big impact on my photography! I often try new recipes, but seldom stick with them, and just enjoy the stock film simulations. But this is something very unique.
How has it impacted it?
@@Reggiebphoto Seldom shoot RAW, but above all, reignited my passion of capturing moments without overthinking the post-process.
Been following you ever since I bought my XT3 back in 2020 Reggie and have been using your film simulation and have been loving it keep up the amazing work man!!
I'm glad it's been working for you!
amazing recipe, love it. so natural and yet special
Definitely my favorite part of how it renders!
Nice video Reggie. I use this recipe all the time. On the Xtrans 5 cameras they seem to render blue a little different. You might need to set color chrome blue to off to get the same look as the Xtrans 4 cameras.
I feel you on that. It’s a bit deeper/darker
as a canon girl who just preordered the x100vi (my first non-canon camera since I was 10 years old!), I’m so excited to try this as my first recipe - and binge your videos until my order gets here!! ☺️
enjoy!
Thank you so much for sharing this. First time I play with film simulation and it is fantastic. I love the soft warm look it gives to pictures.
🙌🏽
Thanks Reggie, I like the look of the photos you showed.
thank you!
I've been a Canon guy for over twenty years. I've been really looking at adding a different platform to my arsenal. This was a great video on how adjustable these cameras are.
Great to hear!
As somebody that's shot Nikon for 18 years, here's my 2 cents when adding a different platform like Fuji to your main brand. I've bought an X100V (had the OG and F before it) at launch.
I always struggle using it in one way or another. I really miss highlight centric metering , and It's AF is just not up to par with Nikon (Z7II now), if you have face detect on at all times, it will see windows on buildings as faces and expose for that spot or hunt to thatspot. it's RAW workflow is different (if I shoot Nikon in 1:1, the raw is 1:1, the Fuji if i open it, doesn't have my 1:1 crop, i have to do that manually again, with Fuji i have to bring the RAW to what they were myself after the fact which is annoying) - i love the aesthetics, and the X100V i can smuggle in places that normally don't allow pro gear (i.e concerts at nice venues) - but aside from that ? I'm really thinking of just selling it and get a 40/2 mm pancake for my Z7II, which as a total package won't be that much bigger than an X100V. And then i at least have to deal with 1 raw workflow instead of 2.So do rent a Fuji first before just jumping in the hype. My 2 cents.
4:02 the lossless compressed options does not degrade the quality of the RAW file, hence the name lossless. It cuts file size in half (on my X-T3 from ca. 70MB to 35MB per RAW file) and it just takes longer to import into a RAW converter like Capture One or Lightroom, and on Mac OS at least you cannot view previews of the RAW file natively within the Finder. These are the only downsides.
Your content is amazing Reggie. I can't wait to try this. Thanks for sharing.
Let us know how it goes!
A beautiful recipe and such a fab explanation, thank you! I just went and changed the clarity on all my saved recipes to 0, game changer.
This has been my C1 recipe since the day I found it. Thanks for such a versatile one!!
Same here!
Reggie I haven't seen this in the comments but at 4:00 you are implying that lossless compressed comes with a loss of image quality. This isn't the case, the name lossless means there is no loss in image quality whatsoever. The opposite is true for "lossy" compression (such as jpg). The only difference between lossless compressed and uncompressed is that the CPU has to work through the compression algorithm for each image but that is compensated by the fact that your SD card can clear the buffer more quickly because of smaller files. There might be a very slight benefit to giving the CPU more cycles to work on autofocus in continuous high mode but I haven't seen anyone claiming any measurable benefit. Hope this helps, great video!
Thanks
Beautiful job on this recipe, Reggie ! I just tried it out for the first time on my XT-5 and the results were exceptional. This is one film simulation that is going to get a lot of use. Many thanks for sharing this with us. Slainte !
Glad to hear!
I love this recipes, It makes my photos much much better, big respect.
Reggie, thank you so much! I’ve used your simulation a few times. I like this video because you not only talk through your specific setting, you explain them, and in some cases, tell why you prefer the cameras setting vs Lightroom. Thanks for your work buddy!
But I’d like to ask, do you use Jpegs for your professional work as well?
I use JPEGs for all professional work as of today. For weddings when I used to do them, I use my Lightroom preset which I sell on my website. With that said the wedding photos I showed here were JPEGs as I shot thst wedding in jpeg+raw
Now that's what I call a clear, eloquent and well structured video! 👏🏻 Besides your recipe looks fantastic and so does your photography! 😍
Thanks so much!
Out of the office today but I cannot wait to try this recipe when I'm home. Thanks for sharing it!
thx for the tip on the clarity section! i never knew that was the reason for the annoying “storing” black screen after every shot. so much better now.
Thank you Reggie! As a fellow bay area head... Cheers!!!
Yay area!
Bay Area Fuji gang in the building! 🌉
Thank you Reggie! Hell ya! I love this film recipe! I literally keep trying out new recipes, but this has been far the one I keep going back too.
I've actually recently started having one with strong grain and one without the grain.
-strong grain for the more filmic look
-no grain for the crispy sharp photos.
This recipe is my favorite hands down.
I've only started utilizing it with video so I have yet to re-evaluate how that translates in post. But excited to see how it looks.
I like that! Two variations!
On video I use a separate more muted recipe
@Reggiebphoto where can we find the recipe for videos?
It’s not published yet.
photos look amazing! will defo be trying this one out😅
Salamat po, kuya! You’re amazing and I always feel happy and inspired by your work! ❤
For the clarity delay time, I found that one can override it by shooting in “burst” mode by changing drive from 1 shot to 3 or 4 fps. Short shutter press is one photo and for alittle more action, press and hold for a burst😂 idk- works for me. Though maybe the buffer for thag burst is incrementally smaller, but I’m sure that wedding and docu photography isn’t as fast pace as action sports. What do you think @reggiebphoto
on the x100v i don't prefer burst
What's the difference to turning clarity off? Or do you go to single shot when you want to apply it?
Just FYI, when in burst mode, the camera isnt actually applying the clarity settings. So it is not the workaround that you think it is. Read the camera manuals and it will confirm as such.
@@spencergiles72 hm! Thank you for letting me know!! I did not know..
though maybe it’s different for the XPro-3 that I shoot on, but it’s probably the same. Didn’t notice that it wouldn’t apply! Thank you for sharing.
@@alexkramar5448This is how all Fuji cameras with the Clarity setting function.
Hi Reggie, I'm so lost with all these recipes out there, just looking for a nice versatile recipe so I can shoot JPEG without worring about post-proces. This might be the recipe for me I guess :)
Nice!
Thank you Reggie 👍👍 😀
Just upgraded from xt3 to xt5. Can’t wait to try this!
With my x-t5 i shoot jpeg in one sd card and raw in the other. I mostly never use raw, but it happens sometimes that i need to bring the exposure down, and that is where shooting raw saves my day.
100%
Same me. Since I don’t shoot videos on my xt4 and xt2 I just keep separate sd for jpg and raw. Reason why some situation require in my opinion brining up shadows and toning down highlights.
The camera works much faster when you leave everything to off (zero). Shoot in raw and then apply your presets in the Fujifilm X-Raw studio on PC/MAC. You can even save your presets (recipes) and even upload them into your camera.
100%, but my goal is to avoid processing if possible. And x-raw studio is a very slow software
the main thing is clarity=0, which he touches on in the video
100%
@@Reggiebphotolightroom works fine with simulations too
@@Reggiebphotounbearably slow. It was fun to mess with for finding simulations, but completely unusable for editing multiple images
Your tips & tutorials are very helpful. And you're making me want to buy the new Fujifilm X100 vi which seems like it's going to be a lot of fun

Always great videos, man. Love this recipe..
Thanks!
Didn’t realize this was your sim! Been using it for a while and love it! Thank you!
Why yes. I am the Reggie, behind "Reggie's Portra"
This recipe is exactly what I was looking for! Perfect! Made me puchase your preset stoo. :). Great job explaining everything as well.
Amazing. Thanks for the support!
Really good tips and thanks you for sharing your own Fuji recipe
You’re welcome!
Thanks for sharing enthusiasm for creativity!
Thank you!
Thank you Reggie❤
Thanks for the comment 🙌🏽
Excellent video Reggie!! Longtime Fujifilm user (film and now digital) and love this idea!
Thanks!
Reggie, best simulations video I've seen yet.
Thanks so much! There's quite a few of them out there.
Man this recipe is so damn fire. Great work my dude!
This recipe is absolutely bang on. It's perfect!
Thanks!
Thanks guy just got my first Fuji and heading to Colorado !super excited
Dude, I love your vids and love this look. It's the kind of look I've been wanting to get!
Nice! Give it a try!
I've been using your film simulation with my xt 30 ii and i love it. Thank you for sharing Reggie
are you still using this recipie in your xt30 ii? did you changed anything to better match the sensor?
Thanks! I will test tommorow on my new X100VI !!!
Love this man, thanks a ton for the interesting info!
You’re welcome! What did you find most interesting?
@@Reggiebphoto actually I've been working on my own that ended up being almost identical to yours! so I found that really cool, but the things that are different are super interesting and I might need to give that a go!
@@trentschlamp what settings differed?
@@Reggiebphoto the white balance for sure! I've been trying to shoot in manual kelvin and not adjust the tints, and then the chrome effects I had at weak instead of strong!
Hi Kabayan Reggie, I love this and its very informative. It makes me want to try Fujifilm soon. 😊📸
Great overview of the various settings and excellent photos … thanks. I’m mostly shooting monochrome with my X100V so I’ll definitely check out the suggested link.
give it a try and let us know what you think
That's a really pleasing film simulation recipe. Thank you so much for sharing!! I'm definitely going to try it out. I like the warmth and nostalgic feel to it.
Please do!
I've loaded it and ready to go out today and try to catch some images with fall colors before the leaves completely fall.
Amazing!
THIS looks so good! As already mentioned from others, the most recipes are too 70s like, this one is awesome! Thank you!
Glad you like it!
Just one question Reggie: you have adjusted Auto WB a little bit for optimize the melanated skin tone. If I wanna have it optimized for brighter skin tones, what should I change here?
In general the output is very good, but just thinking to optimize it for my Family :-)
Maybe R to 0 and B -2 or R +2 and B -3 ?
Or will that change the complete look? I am not sure if a change is really needed, but in some situations the skin tone is too "Brown", but IT really depends on the light.
@bastis.1751 use your judgement my friend. You know how your family looks. This is out of my scope.
Very nice images. You really thought this through.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love this!
Subscribed! Awesome video. I love the look of your photos and I am excited to play with this recipe on my X100V. Thank you!
Thanks! Be sure to check me out on IG. I have more tutorials on there (and more frequently) @reggiebphoto
Thank you for this amazing recipe Reggie! It’s truly awesome. Would love to see you deep dive one of your Ricoh GR recipes one day. I bet they are just as cool. Cheers.
Will be coming eventually. Need to spend more time shooting with it
Your photos are amazing!
Thanks so much. Which image what your favorite?
i love it! Thank you for sharing the details, i really aprreciate this
No problem 😊
The best recipe - thank you 🤜
🫱🏽🫲🏾
Oh man, thanks for the info about the clarity setting causing a delay! It’s the main reason i don’t use recipes much. Gonna try it without clarity setting. Thanks
You’re welcome!
This recipe continues to be my go to, thank you for sharing this, you’ve enabled a massive amount of Fuji users to get great SOOC results.
I’m glad
Thank you Reggie! Sobrang salamat! I love your film sim! I'll be using it moving forward. Maybe this is the time I might stop shooting raw on my x100v
Lovely video, great insights
Thanks for the kind words
I’m thinking about buying the x100v. A lot of reviews said it’s a great camera but if you don’t have enough knowledge on film you won’t get the film look you are expecting. But seeing that you just literally gave the recipe out for free I think I’m definitely gonna get this camera now. Thank you 🙏🏾
Hope you can find one !
Thanks for this Reggie. I've used your recipe on my XT-1 for a few weeks now for my "walk around the neighbourhood photography" and I've been very happy with the results.
Thanks for reporting back!
XT1 is so underrated. Been shooting it for years professionally. Makes work flow so easy, yet I don't see many people using it pr Fuji's in general. It's eliminated post process editing completely.
I was at my cousins wedding and I happened to be shooting for my own personal use and saw her hired wedding photographer shooting an XT2 and we instantly bonded lol
I also tried on my X-T10 and works really well. Shadows -1, Color +2, etc. For White Balance I've chosen the Sunlight option. What about you?
Thanks for the feedback and thanks to @Reggiebphoto
I usually stick with auto WB with a little added warmth.
Salamat bro! Been following your works and tips. Wll use this. Great job!
Give it a try brother! 🇵🇭
This is most interesting and I look forward to trying the ideas. Awaiting delivery of an X-T3. Spent several hours reading the Manual, amazing number of facilities. Never seen a sports-finder in a digital camera, and so many manual focus aids.
That was a very well done video that was a pleasure to watch. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video!!
Thank you very much! 🙌🙌🙌
You’re welcome! Enjoy!
Lovely. And beautifully explained as well- that’s a bonus!😊
Just subbed.
Thanks for the sub!
INSIGHTFUL! Thank you!
What did you find most insightful?
Your 'recipe' and insight as to jpeg versus RAW. I've come to the same conclusion: I'm using jpeg 99% of the time, and for high stakes priority pics, going back to RAW on rare occasion. Your 'recipe' just saved me mucho time to develop, even though I have some B&W recipes of my own, but haven't gotten around to color. Thx!@@Reggiebphoto
Thank you for the recipe you mentioned here, I will definitely test this out in the future, I have been looking for one that fits in with old buildings for a long time, I do not live far from the historic city of Bruges, Belgium, EU
I had no idea that Clarity setting is what was messing with my camera. I couldn’t figure out why it shooting so slowly. I love the photos you showed off using these settings. Im excited to give them a try myself!
Let me know how it goes!
Very thought provoking - made me revisit my menu settings and consider a fresh approach. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Which aspects did you reconsider?
After listening to your step by step recipe, I went back to each to see where I left my settings and overlooked others.@@Reggiebphoto
I don’t have a fujifilm camera and I don’t do photography (much), but I watched from beginning to end, the way you explain and talk is just so compelling! Love your content and your work is beautiful! I remember watching some “pros” and every time they showed examples it was never that great or at least didn’t connect with me, but yours are just so beautiful and real there’s this look to them more than just the film aesthetic, it’s the angles and the realness of your subjects and the way you treat them.. anyways! Great video will probably watch more ;))
Thanks for the kind words
Thank you for this. Really excited to try this out as my go to is FujiX Portra 160. This one looks great!
Hope you enjoy it!
