Many of the SOOC images have been cropped and edited for perspective correction only. The challenge is all about film simulation recipes and SOOC JPEGs, so I’ve included the best of the roll of 36. I shot using Kodak Portra 400 until I got to Shouse, then switched to Kodak Portra 160 Film Simulation.
I walked north on Nassau Street toward Hogie Haven. I’ve never used the actual Kodak Portra 400 Professional ISO 400 film, but I like the SOOC JPEG images on Ritchie’s web page and decided to give it a try. This recipe attempts to simulate the look of Kodak Portra 400 Professional ISO 400 film. For this challenge, I chose Ritchie’s Kodak Portra 160 Film Simulation recipe for X-Trans III sensors and went for an early morning walk around downtown Princeton. This blog entry is my fifth instalment for the Ritchie Roesch’s Fujifilm inspired Film Simulation Challenge. In the interest of transparency, I left the original blog post but included reprocessed images at the bottom of the post. I think the photos were over-exposed by between EV +1/3 to +1. As a test, I used Fuji X RAW Studio to reprocess the images with Ritchie’s Kodak Portra 160 Film Simulation recipe and adjusted exposure compensation settings, and the results are much better. That would certainly explain the washed-out look of the SOOC image. I think the exposure compensation dial may have moved during my photo walk.

UPDATE: After messing around with Color Efx Pro 4from DxO’s Nik Collection 3, I think my criticism and reaction to the SOOC JPEGs from my Fujifilm Film Simulation Challenge Roll 5: Kodak Portra 400 test was “user error”.
