Thank you very much Kevin , keep on learning with your videos !!!!
Thank you.
Fantastic video as always, Kevin - Thank You!
finally! thankyou
:-)
Thanks Kevin
I have been using 50s Noir for several months now and it's one of my two main Fujifilm recipes. It's great for moody portraits but I particularly love the look of water - people on the beach or coastal landscapes. Examples posted on Flickr. Thanks for creating.
Great to hear!
Fantastic! 👍 Thank you very much, very helpful, I appreciate it! The Newspaper simulation is stunning and the others are gorgeous as well. I don't know how they would apply to my X-Pro3 but the new X-Pro version is about to come out anyway. Another great video, you rock, as always 🎩 Cheers!
another stunning video Kev, thak you for sharing ;) (y)
Glad you enjoyed it
These are great. Thank you so much Kevin. I notice the IMAI one from your Oct 2020 video, and the settings are a tad different- have you been evolving these over the years? You always have stunning BW images.
Solid will try on my x70
Thx Kevin!
No problem 😃
Excellent! I really like your content. Thank you.
Glad you enjoy it!
Thanks Kevin. I love them. How about the blue chrome parameters?
Thanks Kev
No problem :-)
I have the x100f, like the newspaper recipe but I can not see how to get for the “the grain effect strong/size small” the choice for the size small part
Great video thank you. Could we have something in colour but dramatic and conematic pkease 👍
fantastic stuff , with clear commentary and images and helpful tips , i was hoping to see ILFORD iso 50 film simulation , may be next time ... but thanks for sharing wonderful video
Glad it was helpful!
Hey is the white balance a permanent custom setting or is it auto with the added settings
Really excellent, Kevin. Thank you so much for these. I have an XPro2 and an X-T5. I always shoot JPG and RAW. Unlike the X-T5, on the XPro2, WB shift can only be set separately in the main menu whereas it can be adjusted in the WB setting in the custom settings. Will this impact the colours recorded in the RAW file or just in the JPG?
Just the JPEGs :-)
Question; would these setting work in a Canon ?? or is it only Fujifilm cameras? Sorry, out there question. But what fun it would be to be able to do that. always looking for a way to spice things up. :). Thank you
thank you for the effort and the sharing. i am an appreciative subscriber. these monochrome sims look fabulous. what can folks do to modify these settings for their camera/sensor? i have a X-T1 and X-T2. thumbs up.
The best you will be able to do is use Monochrome Simulation on X-Trans 1 cameras. You also won't have as much fine control of the tone unfortunately.
@@kevin_mullins would that be the same for XT-3 please ? I have no knowledge of what Xtrans senso is on which model
Even though it was quick thank you for the mention of the clarity slider because it catches a lot of Fuji users off guard. If you find you're using the clarity slider a lot, you can set the editing software to apply it instantly upon import and leave it set at zero in the camera.
Again thank you for the clarity warning. Was on a photography workshop and it took a relatively long period after taking the picture before the buffer cleared. Unfortunately, this occurred during the entire workshop. Went to B&H while still in NYC and learned someone, who I don’t know, changed the clarity from 0. Easy fix when you know what the problem is.

Yes, it's frustrating if trying to shoot quickly.
thanks kevin these look great i'll try them out. id love to see your meyerowitz recipe, any chance of sharing? another question, how many shots one average do you think you do at a wedding?? and do you keep all shots or just the ones the couple picks out? and one more question, is first born photography an add in to the wedding pics or a separate thing?
The Meyerowitz recipe is here: www.kevinmullinsphotography.co.uk/fujifilm-recipes-jpeg-setting
Weddings? It depends on the time of the year usually and length of coverage. An "average" wedding I'll shoot around 1800 and deliver around 400.
I'm loving the newspaper and parr recipes you made. I am wondering though if you would recommend these settings on the X100V or keep the ones from the older video? There are a few small changes with for example Newspaper. Either way thanks a lot! I was using Tri-X 400 before but i prefer your black and white recipes a lot more.
I'd use the newer settings. Newspaper began life for the X-trans 2 sensor.
Fantastic advice Kevin - I have the gfx 50s 2 but don't seem to have any 'clarity' setting - advice please .
Thanks
david
Hmm. I don't have the 50S but I'm sure it has clarity setting. Remember, it's only an option for JPEGs.
Added these to my XT-5 today and went for a photo walk. So far my favorite is the Newspaper. It's still sort of a bummer that Clarity slows down the camera a lot, so it needs to be used intentionally.
Kevin i cant set a lot of those on my XE1. Will that software program those settings into my XE1 if I plug it into my computer like you are doing on your computer with the XT5?
I use X-Raw Studio but you will be limited to the settings available in your X-E1.
love these BW images I have the X-E2s without Acros simulation, do you have a recipee for the dramatic newspaper setting that i could use please anyone
You won't get as close, but use the Monochrome setting and adjust the shadows and highlights accordingly. You may need to add grain in Lightroom afterwards though.
Thanks@@kevin_mullins
Thanks so much Kevin. How can I adjust the settings for my XT-3.
You won't be able to get exactly the same with the X-T3 but you can start with the same base Film Simulation and adjust the settings you have available to you from there. Should be pretty close.
Thank you Kevin. Appreciate the response.
@@kevin_mullins
Do you suggest any ones for video? I am getting the XS20
For filming, I either use FLOG or Eterna in camera and then grade in Premiere Pro.
Imai recipe sounds cool but might be too moody for my family portraits. Thanks for sharing!
No worries!
i love IMAI recipe
Me too!
Great video again!
Which camera do you have now?
I think the question should be which camera "don't" I have. But right now I'm shooting weddings with two X-T5s.
@@kevin_mullins which camera you don't have?
How perform the 23mm 1.4 lr mr on the XT-4?
Any chance of making them available for Capture One, Kevin?
Sadly Capture one doesn't support Look Up Table profiles like Lightroom does.
Never mind. Thank you.@@kevin_mullins
Off topic but interesting.
Fuji rumors stated the next summit is February 20th. They will announce the X100VI. The X100VI will have the 40MP sensor and engine processor 5 from the XT5/XH2. IBIS will be present. Sounds like a great package. Hope the new lens used on the X100V can resolve well on the 40MP sensor. Will preorder on day one.
I bet the X100VI will be more expensive than the X100V at launch. It will be cheaper than the inflated premium demanded for used X100Vs.
I’ve seen these presets from a previous video. Thank you for sharing them again.
Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
Isn't everything more expensive (sadly) these days?
I’ve connected my camera and it’s showing in the left menu however I’m not getting neither is it showing camera profile in the right panel as yours is, I don’t get it and tried all sorts of stuff, there seems to be something missing in the issues, or the explanation!
Are you using the PD Cable that came in the box with your camera?
setting these recipes up now in my xh-2 !! Question pls: on white balance
are you just using auto or always setting a custom WB per lighting and or does that not matter when in B/W simulation??
i do see WB shift settings but not sure if there is another step ??
thanks so much
Yea, unless I use the WB to adjust the tone a little I always leave on Auto.
@@kevin_mullins very much appreciate your reply Kevin, cheers!
Thanks Kevin for those.
I see that your 50s noir is different from the one you made few years back (I always keep screenshos on my phone of your simulations and the sims in my cameras). I use that one and it was constantly crushing the blacks and shadows, I had to tone it down in some areas to fit the low light photos I was taking. I'll definitely try this new one. I'll also try the other ones as they seem different from your previous ones and I'll keep an eye on the blacks and shadows so they keep some details.
I think the previous iteration was before the advent of accurate tone curve control in camera? Glad you find them useful.
What dynamic range settings do you apply please, Kevin?
Always left on 100% Richard.
@@kevin_mullinsAny reason why you leave it always on 100%?
@@jorghahn2903 100% is the equivalent to Off.
@kevin_mullins Sure, but I was wondering why you would never use 200% or 400%.
@@jorghahn2903Because all that really does is affect the minimum ISO to protect shadows/highlights. I prefer to manage that with the exposure controls.
Very nice presets, too bad they're not available for Capture One.
Unfortunately, Capture One doesn't support Look Up Table profiles like Lightroom does, so it's simply not possible.
hp4 looks more natural if we speak about BW film . first two look like a S-curve in Lightroom
What if your camera didn’t have clarity setting?
One can use a diffusion filter instead if clarity is set to minus value.
You can add it later in Lightroom or simply don't use it. Clarity slows the camera down a lot anyway.
@@kevin_mullins 😎
Why is Xraw so painfully slow? Every change takes 20 seconds or more to update.
It has to send the change to the camera to make the adjustment. It is slow, but it makes sense why.
Oh, I am so sorry; but I cannot watch your video any longer as you are using the same pictures over and over while describing different settings. What's the point of the pics if I cannot tell the difference between settings?
I think you are missing the point. Using the same images makes total sense in the context of this video. But thanks for the kind feedback though 👍
Glad for the back & forth, but it's not clear as to how this makes sense. If I am trying to learn how the settings are different; but I'm being presented with the same image output, I cannot see how that's effective. Maybe I'm missing something. And if so, I am sorry for being a grumpy poster.
Allow me to paint the picture this way. Imagine that I want to learn how to draw shapes from your instruction (circles, squares and triangles). You then describe the 3 points of a triangle and maybe even the 4 sides of a square; but you keep showing a circle being drawn on screen. The image never matches the text being described. It never matches the description and doesn't make sense. As such, I'll never learn. I hope you can imagine the potential confusion that might ensue. This was the effect that your video about B&W settings had for me. I wanted to learn; but couldn't.
@@kevin_mullins
@@raytbrown2 The way I have done it is correct. The series of images are used to show the difference in the settings. Then, the same series of pictures for the following three recipes. It's common practice when demonstrating JPEG recipes. Using the same images allows you to see the difference between the settings.
If that's what's taking place, I agree with you. But from my POV, I didn't see that nor could tell from the audio that this (agreeably proven method) was occurring. If I'm the only one, then I'm just crazy. If I'm not, maybe I have a point. Either way, I thank you for the polite banter and hope to see your B&W settings in another video that speaks more clearly to me. Thank you!@@kevin_mullins
Hi Kevin, wonderful simulations. I definitely will try one or two of them. I loved that you used the same pictures for each simulation. It would be great if you could show in the outro each single of the pictures again in all 4 simulations. This way it's easier to compare on a glance.
About you Lightroom setting, I though LR still struggles with Fuji Raws and the way the sensor is setup differently? Did Adobe solve this nowadays?
Lightroom has never struggled with Fuji files in my experience. Generally, people over sharpen files (the default sharpening by Lightroom is not the best). Adjust the sharpening accordingly in LR and then no drama.
