Magic Spice film simulation - A great all-rounder overall versatile and great recipe for portraits

Magic Spice isn’t based on any existing film stock—it’s something I created from scratch, built entirely around my own preferences. I created it during an autumn hike - I wanted to enhance the landscape, those magical colors that autumn brings with it. But it ended up being a versatile look that works for just about anything. Everyday shooting, portraits, different styles—it holds up across the board.

One of the things that makes Magic Spice stand out is how it treats skin tones. They lean slightly desaturated with a subtle shift toward red, giving portraits a warm, inviting feel. And the skies? They take on these nostalgic violet-blue tones that add a little extra magic to your shots.

Whether you're shooting portraits, landscapes, or just capturing everyday moments, this simulation brings a unique color palette that enhances your photos without overpowering them. If you’re looking for something fresh, give Magic Spice a spin—it might just become your go-to.
