What film sims are you using and/or adding to your X100VI or other Fujifilm camera?
I started setting some up last night. I set my film sim bracket to Eterna, Classic Chrome and Acros
I started adding some custom recipes mostly from Fuji X Weekly. But some from a few other places I have found too.
I'm setting these up first:
Reggie’s Portra Recipe
Kodachrome 64
Kodak Ultramax 400
Ilford FP4
Do you have any favorite film sims or recipes?

I use Classic Chrome or Provia (color) and Acros (black and white). Then I upload the images in Adobe Lightroom and adjust.
I don’t do recipes.

Most of my favorite are from FB groups, but don't forget about film.recipes - https://film.recipes/
I like Loki for a moody, gritty (but still warm) feel - https://film.recipes/2023/05/29/loki-by-mehdi-berrada/

p.1 #6What Film Simulations are you using?
I use Provia, with +1 colour for people shots or when I don't want a film look. The rest of my custom slots are loaded with recipes from Fuji X weekly. Typically I will have Velvia, Kodachrome 64, Regies Portra, Cinestill 800T, and Fuji Superia 800 loaded. One which I use a lot which is not from Fuji X is Goughie's Astia.
I'm getting pretty good at picking which film sim to use in which situation and rarely do any post processing.
Reggies Portra is pretty versatile for a Kodak look, and Goughie's Astia is pretty good for travel and landscapes when Velvia is too garish.
Kodachrome 64 works well when the light is not too contrasty and can produce a really special look. Fuji Superia 800 is great for photos in places like Chinatown. It's hard to describe but has a kind of Asian colours look. Cinestill 800T is great for cinematic night scenes.

I've been using Astia for many years, and lately have been playing with Nostalgic Negative. I shoot raw, though, so I'm not really worried about which color profile the camera sets.

Me too. NN is the only profile that isn't ice cold and too green with normal white balance.
Edit: I do however always change the blues towards more purple in post (raw, that is).

I experimented with it today and managed to achieve a result that closely resembles the Fuji Reala Ace simulation. While I've come across some online recipes using Classic Neg as base, they don't quite match the new Reala sim. For accurate greens and reds, it's preferable to start with Classic Chrome.
This recipe yields the best results when using a white balance preset like Daylight, but it also comes close with auto white balance (AWB). Adding clarity is up to you, it's optional.
I also created a Nostagic Neg that it's very close to the Fuji's. It's a good option for those with older cameras without these new profiles. Achieving a perfect match is impossible since Fuji's RAW Studio doesn't allow for individual color adjustments; it only offers temperature and tint controls. However, one can come close to replicating the colors and tones.

I confess I have no idea how to save recipes. I like Classic Chrome and Classic Negative a lot, but I also shoot both raw+jpeg so I usually wind up editing a raw file. I admit that all this chatter about the new VI has me playing with my V a little more and I've actually picked up a few new tips.
Once you get all of those settings put together, how do you save them? Thanks!

Thanks! Given that I never use them, I must have skipped this. Good to know it's in the manual!

When developing sims on the V, I noticed that sometimes changes wouldn’t stick unless you immediately took a single shot after saving the settings. Luckily the VI hasn’t shown this behavior.

Fred - Did you share the Nostalgic Neg anywhere? I'd love to add it to my V. Thanks!

Just another question from a non-techy person before I try Fred's Reala Ace: Looks like from the manual, I just hit reset and it will go back to my current camera settings?
ETA: Re-reading, that looks wrong. How do I go back to my original settings after saving a sim?

You should save base settings as a sim slot as well so you can toggle back-and-forth easily.

Thank you. What a kerfluffle though. Is there a custom function button set to get to these then, or do you have to go into the menu every time to apply your sim?

I had it set to my menu on the V and have it set to a button on the VI. It’s called “select custom setting” on the VI but I don’t recall that being an option on the V.

Thanks - OK - But where I am creating and saving these (I've just added Fred's Reala), is also called custom settings and there are 7 slots for them. Am I doing it correctly? I am just playing around so this is not urgent but it's kind of fun.
