About this recipe

Expired Negative is a free Ricoh GR recipe by Ritchie Roesch, based on the Cinema (Green) image control. It works with the GR IV and GR IV HDF. Enter the settings below on the camera; no file is needed.

Cinema (Green) pushed into expired-film territory: a warm 9700K reference dragged blue with B14, crushed midtones against hot highlight and shadow splits, and grain at maximum. Unpredictable in the best way. Published with full settings in the Starter Collection on ricohrecipes.com; hosted here with credit and a link to the collection. Grain values as printed on his page.
