While I was creating the Reala Ace 100 film simulation recipe as an alternative to my first version of Reala Ace film recipe, I started to get a little confused on the actual film stock and the Fujifilm Reala Ace film simulation. Based on my comparison with the actual film, there are slightly warmer hues with a distinctive tone.
Yeah, I know this is just a simulation, so it won’t look exactly the same. So I decided to create this new Reala Ace 100 film simulation recipe by adding some personal tweaks and tastes. That’s right, it’s IvanYolo’s own ‘cooking’ Fujifilm film simulation recipes, yo!
Fujifilm’s Reala Ace simulation sought to replicate the subtle warmth and nuanced color palette that made the original film so beloved. While the digital version on the fifth-generation Fujifilm cameras may not be an exact match, it offers photographers a close approximation that evokes similar feelings and aesthetics.
My journey to create the Reala Ace 100 film simulation recipe began with an in-depth exploration of the characteristics of both the original film stock and the digital simulation. After making comparisons, conducting online research, and referring to how the original film photos appeared on Lomography, I decided to craft the Reala Ace 100 film recipe with a subtle warm hue.
I aimed to ensure that my recipe captured not only the look but also the essence of Reala Ace, paying close attention to color balance, saturation, contrast, and the overall tonal curve.
One of the first adjustments I made was to the color balance. Based on my comparisons, the Reala Ace film had a slightly warmer hue, which I wanted to replicate in my digital recipe. I adjusted the white balance settings to introduce a subtle warmth without overpowering the natural tones of the image. Keep in mind, the color can differ depending on the lenses you are using and the lighting conditions.
Next, I focused on the saturation and contrast levels. The original Reala Ace film was known for its vibrant yet natural colors. To achieve this, I made slight tweaks to the saturation and contrast settings. One of the hallmarks of film photography is the presence of grain, which adds texture and a sense of authenticity to the images. To mimic this, I added a moderate grain effect to my simulation.
