Hi Deni,
I have just bought your film simulation recipes and have been trying on a few - especially sony classic neg and the Portra 400 (Reggie mod). I thing I may have run into some issues with the colors I am getting. I know your current simulations have been designed for the 6700 sensor, and that you have posted extensively about adjusting the colors to other sensors, but it seems very labor intensive - I have very little free time off and would like to spend it shooting pictures instead of figuring out complicated settings. Furthermore, as the only "example" of how the colors should look like is the cover picture for each simulation in the pdf, I am quite confused with the direction I should adjust them in.
It would be much easier if I had the adapted recipes for the 6400 sensor.
Anyway, below are some straight-out-of-camera shots using the class neg simulation - they have this weird magenta tint. Is this what class neg is supposed to look like? What are your thoughts on adjusting for the best results? (Using ttartisan 35mm manual lens + 1/8 black mist filter)
Thanks in advance.



Heii & welcome to the forum!
I am sorry if the experience of color matching feels rather complicated. You can imagine it is quite impossible to adjust these recipes to every Sony camera model, especially with new models being released each year.
Color matching is not that hard if you get the gist of it. It's mainly about 2 things, adjusting the temperature and the tint of an image. For example, your image is quite cold and magenta compared to the article references of Sony Classic Negative film simulation, which btw, has more images for reference than the bundle if you want to check it out. This means you need to push the colors in the opposite direction, meaning warmer and slightly less magenta.
To help you achieve better color matching on the a6400, I’ll provide some settings for a better color match:
Raise Kelvin by 300-500
Push color filter 0.5-1 stops towards Green
Maybe life Color Phase by +1 or +2 Levels
This should fix the colors. Come back with some references so we can see the results before & after :]
If you're looking for more references on film simulations, I recommend visiting the Blog. There, you'll find in-depth articles on most film simulations that showcase their colors across a variety of scenarios. This will help you understand the kind of colors you can expect from each film simulation.
If you want to be updated on new blog posts, I recommend subscribing to the newsletter if you are not already, and you'll be notified on new articles coming out!
Thank you for the quick reply! However Kelvin is already maxed out in the recipe. Should I push Amber in the color filter instead?
