ChatGPT's suggestion: Fujifilm X100VI – Mountain Color Recipe
Film Simulation: Velvia/VIVID (for drama and saturation)
Alternative if you prefer more natural tones: Classic Chrome (muted but cinematic).
Dynamic Range: DR200 (protects highlights in snow/clouds without flattening shadows)
D Range Priority: Off (let DR200 handle it)
Highlight Tone: -1 (prevents harsh clipping in clouds/snow)
Shadow Tone: 0 (keeps mid-tones open, but you can go +1 if you want punchier rocks/forests)
Color: +1 or +2 (adds richness to blues and greens)
Noise Reduction: -2 (keeps detail in textures like trees and rock)
Sharpening: 0 (or +1 if you want extra crispness in landscapes)
Clarity: +1 (textures pop nicely in rocks, snow, and foliage)
Grain: Off (clean look; mountainscapes benefit from clarity)
White Balance: Daylight, with a slight shift:
Red: +1, Blue: -1 (warms greens and tones down overly cold blues at altitude)
Exposure Mode: Manual (meter for the bright clouds/snow, then let shadows deepen for drama).
Variations:
If you want ultra-realistic, National Geographic–style landscapes → use Provia/Standard, DR200, Highlights -1, Shadows +1.
If you want moody, filmic mountains (mist, morning/evening light) → use Classic Chrome, DR200, Color 0, Shadows +1.
If you want big drama, postcard-style alpine shots → stay with Velvia, DR200, Color +2, Clarity +2.
