Welcome to the new X-Trans IV Film Simulation section. These film simulations are for use on Fujifilm cameras such as the X-T3, X-T4 and X100V, although you may get similar results using older Fujifilm camera models.

Colour Film Simulations
MGA Classic Pro
Based on ProNeg Std, this recipe is perfect for everyday photography where you want realistic looking colours for the things around you, as well as skin tones. All with a classic look to it.
MGA Velvia Colour Plus
A colourful, yet realistic Velvia based recipe, for landscapes. Has good skin tones and can be used for general shooting.
MGA RetroChroma
A wonderful new recipe for summer days, “RetroChroma” is a great, cool looking Chrome look.
MGA Realistic Pro
Based on Pro Neg Hi, MGA Realistic Pro is a recipe to emulate real life colours on dull days. It works exceptionally well with autumnal colours, so perfect for landscapes and much more!
MGA Provia Punch
I was never quite happy with the look of Fujifilm Provia, so I created Provia Punch… You know, Provia, with a punch!
MGA Vintage Chrome
A vintage feeling Chrome recipe, with all the feel of my recent Vintage Summer recipe. Rather than do a quick conversion from Provia based to Classic Chrome however, I thought I would rework it to something completely different. (Works on X-Trans III)
MGA Vintage Summer
Inspired by summer. Inspired by old film. Inspired by photography. Vintage Sun is two films at once. At zero exposure compensation it’s a retro slide film recipe, at +2/3 or more stops, it’s a stunning vintage summer retro vibe. Best used in good conditions!
MGA Eterna Sun (Retro Look)
A retro looking simulation based on Eterna. This is a fantastic recipe for creating retro looking images.
MGA Cezar Street
Cezar Street is a recipe designed for landscape and most importantly street photography. It has rich warm colours, dark shadows and controlled highlights.
You can see examples of Cezar Street by visiting this blog link.

* On X100V and newer X-Trans IV sensors with Color Chrome FX Blue, set this value to OFF (or experiment and let me know the results!)
MGA Colour Chrome+
Due to great demand, I’ve released my updated MGA Colour Chrome+ which I use for most of my personal work photographs. This is my GO-TO recipe, and it makes every scene look amazing! Samples of MGA Colour Chrome+ can be found here.

MGA Nostalgic Provia
A finely tweaked version of Provia that provides slight colour shift in the reds, slightly raised shadows and a nostalgic look. You can find side-by-side examples of this simulation here.
Push/Pull Process: 0EV, Dynamic Range DR200, Film Simulation Provia, Grain Effect Off, Color Chrome Effect: Weak, WB AUTO, WB Shift R1 B1, Highlight Tone 0, Shadow Tone -1, Color +1, Sharpness +2, Noise Reduction 0

MGA Fuji 400H Redux
A modern take on Fuji 400H, with hints of green and a little blue. This is a stunning film simulation, so much so you’ll find plenty of examples of it here before you load it up into your camera.
Push/Pull Process: +1EV (or as much as you can get away with), Dynamic Range DR400, Film Simulation Pro Neg Hi, Grain Effect Weak, Color Chrome Effect: Weak, WB AUTO, WB Shift R-3 B2, Highlight Tone –1, Shadow Tone 0, Color +2 (or +3 as needed), Sharpness 0, Noise Reduction 0
* On X100V and newer X-Trans IV sensors with Color Chrome FX Blue, set this value to OFF (or experiment and let me know the results!)
MGA Kodachrome Classic
Based on Kodachrome, this is an X-Trans IV version that has a very vintage look and feel to it. Definitely one for you customise settings! You’ll find plenty of examples of this simulation here!
Push/Pull Process: +2/3EV, Dynamic Range DR100, Film Simulation Classic Chrome, Grain Effect Strong, Color Chrome Effect: Strong, WB AUTO, WB Shift R2 B1, Highlight Tone –2, Shadow Tone +2, Color +4, Sharpness +3, Noise Reduction 0
* On X100V and newer X-Trans IV sensors with Color Chrome FX Blue, set this value to OFF (or experiment and let me know the results!)
MGA Leica-Like V2
Leica like colours are really not that dissimilar to Fuji colours for the most part, except for the reds and blues. Those Leica reds are to die for
MGA Classic Negative
Classic Negative has had many variants on X-Trans III and IV, but this version attempts to get the best from the other versions, to bring you an authentic Classic Negative
MGA Primavera
MGA Primavera is based on a generic old film look. It has lovely tones that make it perfect for all types of photography. In my photograph collection I have many images that just look different, and this is the kind of look that they seem to give.
MGA AGFA Classic
An aged look straight from camera, and based on old classic AGFA film. This recipe is useful for many types of film photography
MGA Instant Film
As the name suggests, this film simulation recipe is based on Instant Film cameras from years gone by. Complete with a little editing tip to make it even more authentic!
MGA Fred Herzog Kodachrome (V1 – Daily Use)
A take on Fred Herzog’s Kodachrome. Version 1 is for daily use.
MGA Fred Herzog Kodachrome (V2 – Authentic Deep Shadows)
Version 2 of Fred Herzog’s Kodachrome has much deeper shadows like original Kodachrome, plus a slight WB shift and more grain.
MGA Portra 400
A close replica of Portra 400, built from the ground up for a phenomenal look very much like the original.
MGA Eterna XTra
Eterna is new to me, I don’t know what to make of it at the moment so I am just experimenting. Eterna XTra is Eterna, only with a little extra kick to it. I’m sure someone might find it useful at some point!
Push/Pull Process: +2/3, Dynamic Range DR400, Film Simulation ETERNA, Grain Effect Weak, WB AUTO WB Shift R0 B0, Highlight Tone -2, Shadow Tone -2, Color +1, Sharpness +4, Noise Reduction 0
* On X100V and newer X-Trans IV sensors with Color Chrome FX Blue, set this value to OFF (or experiment and let me know the results!)
Monochrome Film Simulations
Leica M10 Monochrom (V3 X-Trans IV version)
The third and final version of the Leica M10 Monochrom recipe. This one is developed for the X-Trans IV sensor and gives stunning results.
Kodak Double-X
A recreation of the Kodak film known as Double-X. Lots of grain, and lots of character. You can visit this page to see examples of Double-X, a really different kind of monochrome film simulation.
Push/Pull Process: 0 or +/- 2/3, Dynamic Range DR200, Film Simulation Acros+Y, Grain Effect Strong, Color Chrome Effect: Weak, WB Auto, WB Shift R0 B0, Highlight Tone -2, Shadow Tone +1, Color –, Sharpness +4, Noise Reduction -04 , B&W Adjust +1
*** For X100V and sensors without the “B&W Adjust”, please set the WC to +1 and MG to 0
MGA Vintage Mono
This is an almost Sepia looking monochrome look, based on Acros. Vintage Mono is a particularly beautiful looking mono simulation. Examples can be found here.
Push/Pull Process: +2/3, Dynamic Range DR100, Film Simulation Acros+R, Grain Effect Off, WB Auto, WB Shift R0 B0, Highlight Tone -2, Shadow Tone –2, Color –, Sharpness –4, Noise Reduction -4 , B&W Adjust +2
*** For X100V and sensors without the “B&W Adjust”, please set the WC to +4 and MG to 0
MGA Leica Q2 Monochrom Cool
Based on Leica’s new Monochrom camera which offers so colour shift to it’s monochrome output. Examples can be found here.
Push/Pull Process: +2/3, Dynamic Range D400-, Film Simulation Monochrome+G Grain Effect Off, WB Auto, WB Shift R6 B-7, Highlight Tone +1, Shadow Tone +3, Color –, Sharpness +4, Noise Reduction 0, B&W Adjust -7 (For further adjustments +7 for “warm” or 0 for pure black and white!)
*** For X100V and sensors without the “B&W Adjust”, please set the WC to -12 and MG to 0
MGA Sepia+
Sepia is one of those overlooked film simulations that not many people use, so this film simulation recipe is just for a bit of artistic licence. Deep, contrasty and unique, MGA Sepia+ is Sepia, and then some!
Push/Pull Process: +2/3, Dynamic Range D200, Film Simulation Sepia Grain Effect Strong, Color Chrome Effect: Strong WB: 2500k, WB Shift R9 B9, Highlight Tone +3, Shadow Tone +3, Color –, Sharpness -4, Noise Reduction +4, B&W Adjust-
