Frequently asked questions.

A recipe is a set of camera settings that creates a particular look. Depending on the system, you may enter the settings in camera or load a compatible file. Each recipe page shows its settings, available sample photos and any download.

Start with your camera system: Nikon, Fujifilm, Sony, Ricoh or Panasonic Lumix. You can then search and filter the collection by camera, category or other available options.

Check the compatible cameras and sensors listed on the recipe page, along with its application notes. A shared sensor generation can give similar results, but available controls and rendering can vary by model and firmware. The camera guides explain where to start.

Lighting, exposure, white balance, lens, camera generation and later editing all affect the result. Use the sample as a reference, make a test photo and adjust the settings for your scene.

Some looks are applied by entering the listed values directly on the camera. Others include a camera file or LUT when one is available. The recipe page explains the application method for that look.

The process and supported file type depend on the camera system and model. Follow the instructions on the recipe page and the relevant camera guide. Check your camera manual before importing a file.
