The short version: browse and download freely. If you share a recipe or photo, make sure it is yours or properly credited — you keep ownership, and you let us show it on the site.
Recipes and tool outputs are approximations, so test them before an important shoot. Be kind, and do not upload anything you do not have the right to share.
Using Film Recipe Hub
By using Film Recipe Hub (the “site”) you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. Browsing and downloading recipes is free and does not require an account.
Your account
- You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age required in your country, to create an account.
- Give accurate information and keep your password secure. You are responsible for activity on your account.
- One person, one account. Do not impersonate others or choose a username that misleads people about who you are.
Content you share
You keep ownership of the recipes, photos, files and articles you upload (“your content”).
By publishing your content on the site, you give Film Recipe Hub a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, resize, display and distribute it on the site and in previews of it (for example search results or social share images), so the service can work. You also let other visitors download your published recipe files and use them on their own cameras and photographs.
This licence ends when you delete the content, except for copies already downloaded by others or held for a short time in backups.
Credit and permission
Many looks are created by other photographers. When you share a recipe or photo:
- Only upload photos you took yourself or have permission to use.
- If a recipe was created by someone else, credit the original creator and link to the source where possible.
- Do not upload paid or licensed presets, LUTs or files you do not have the right to redistribute.
If you believe something on the site infringes your rights, contact us with a link to the page and an explanation. We will review it promptly and remove infringing content.
Acceptable use
Please do not:
- Post content that is illegal, hateful, harassing, sexually explicit, or that shares someone else's private information.
- Upload malware or files disguised as recipes.
- Spam, manipulate ratings, or create accounts automatically.
- Scrape the site in a way that degrades it for others, or try to get around access controls.
We may edit, unpublish or remove content, and suspend or close accounts, that break these terms.
Recipes and creator tools
Recipes are shared by the community, and the creator tools — NP3 Generator, Picture Control Editor, Lightroom → Nikon, Fujifilm → Nikon and Sony Recipe Builder — produce approximations. Results vary with camera model, firmware, lens and light.
Load files onto your camera at your own discretion and keep a copy of your existing settings. Film Recipe Hub is not responsible for lost settings, missed shots or other outcomes of using a recipe or generated file.
Files you generate with the tools are yours to use, including commercially.
Trademarks
Film Recipe Hub is an independent community project and is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by Nikon, Fujifilm, Sony, Canon, Ricoh, Panasonic or Adobe. Product and brand names such as Picture Control, Film Simulation, Creative Look and Lightroom belong to their owners and are used only to describe compatibility.
Our content
The site's design, code, guides and original articles belong to Film Recipe Hub or their authors. You may link to and quote them with attribution, but please do not republish them wholesale.
No warranty
The site and its tools are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind. We do our best to keep things accurate and online, but we do not guarantee that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any recipe will produce a particular result.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Film Recipe Hub and its contributors are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of the site, its content or its tools. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
Closing your account
You can stop using the site at any time and ask us to delete your account through the contact page. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the site evolves. The date at the top shows the latest version. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
