Fuji Classic Neg

The om-3 Classic Neg recipe by ibd produces a warm but tonally complex look built around a significant amber white balance shift (+4) tempered by a green push (+3), giving the image a warm-but-not-golden overall cast with a subtle vintage green undertone. Reds and orange-reds are nudged up while yellows and greens are pulled back, which shapes skin tones to feel rich and saturated without going overly orange — closer to the slightly faded warmth of classic negative film stock. The most distinctive color move is the strong boost to blue and cyan (+4 each) paired with a hard cut to cyan-green (-5), which carves out a cool, filmic separation in skies, shadows, and any blue or teal elements — giving those areas real pop against the warm mids. Tonally, the recipe has a lifted, airy quality: mids are raised considerably (+6) and highlights are opened up (+3), while shadows are ever so slightly compressed (-2), all combined with a -0.7 EV exposure pull that keeps the overall image from feeling too bright. The result is a recipe that feels simultaneously warm and cool depending on where you look — organic and analog in the midtones and skin, with crisp, slightly cinematic blues — well-suited to street and travel photography in varied natural light.
