In this section you will find my Nikon Film Recipes. For Nikon, I have decided not to give “recipes” an actual film name like you see with Fujifilm. In reality, even Fujifilm recipes are a facsimile of actual film, and I have decided to move away from that, and let the title be a descrition of the style of image you will get. There are four examples chosen for each recipe so that you can see how the colour profile will look, plus all the settings. Currently, these are written down, and will need to be entered into your Nikon camera (further along I will be adding files for you to load into your camera).
To apply, you can either enter these settings directly into NX Studio, and apply them to your raw files (which I highly recommend as you can try out the different looks for each image you take), or you can edit and save the colour profiles in your Nikon Camera. There is space for 10 save spaces for Colour Profiles.
