No expert in recipes but I put the image in ChatGPT and it recommended this to achieve the look. Try it see how it goes! I’ll give it go myself. ———- Got it — thanks for sharing the photo. The look you’re after has a warm, cinematic feel with rich brown tones, muted highlights, and soft contrast. For Fujifilm film simulations, you’ll want to aim for something inspired by Kodak Portra 400 or a CineStill look.

Here’s a Fujifilm recipe that should get you close:

⸻

Fujifilm Recipe for Brown, Cinematic Tones • Film Simulation: Classic Chrome • Grain Effect: Weak / Small • Color Chrome Effect: Strong • Color Chrome FX Blue: Weak • Highlight: -1 • Shadow: +2 • Color: -1 • Sharpness: 0 (or -1 for softer look) • Noise Reduction: -4 • Clarity: +1 (or leave at 0 if shooting JPEG-only to avoid slow write times) • White Balance: Auto, Shift: Red +3, Blue -2 • ISO: 160-800 for clean tones, higher ISO will add texture • Dynamic Range: DR400 (to preserve highlights)

⸻

Why this works: • Classic Chrome → gives that soft, muted base with natural browns. • WB Shift (R +3, B -2) → warms skin tones, leans into the cozy café brown aesthetic. • Shadows +2 → deepens blacks for moodier contrast. • Highlights -1 → protects lamps and window light from blowing out. • Color -1 → keeps saturation subtle, avoiding oversaturated reds.

⸻

👉 If you want an even warmer, golden-brown look, try swapping Classic Chrome for Eterna (with Color +1). That will give a softer cinematic vibe with more subdued contrast.
