DiscussionClassic Neg vs Reala Ace for autumn colour, post your recipes

Leaves are finally turning here and I've been flipping between two recipes all week! Classic Neg gives that slightly faded look with cool shadows that makes the oranges pop against grey skies, Reala Ace is more true to life but somehow still warm. Here's what I've been running on the X-E5:

Classic Negative, Grain Weak Small, Color Chrome Effect Strong, Color Chrome FX Blue Weak, WB Auto R+2 B-4, DR400, Highlight -1, Shadow +1, Color +2, Sharpness -1, High ISO NR -4, Clarity 0

Reala Ace, Grain Weak Small, Color Chrome Effect Weak, Color Chrome FX Blue Off, WB Daylight R+1 B-2, DR200, Highlight 0, Shadow -1, Color +1, Sharpness 0, High ISO NR -4, Clarity -1

My verdict so far: Reala Ace for anything with people in it, Classic Neg for empty streets and trees. Fight me! What's everyone else using?

Reala Ace. Classic Neg makes every tree look like it's in a 2019 Instagram feed.

rude. accurate, but rude

classic neg forever tbh. i run shadow +2 and it gets crunchy in the woods so might steal your sharpness -1

Here in Valencia we don't really get autumn like you, bueno, we get two weeks of orange in the Turia park and then it's winter, but last year I went up to the Pyrenees with the X-S20 and Reala Ace with colour +2 was beautiful in the beech forests at Ordesa, I didn't touch a single file after. Classic Neg for me makes the greens go a bit strange, too teal.

@Marta_G Ordesa in autumn has been on my list forever! Color +2 on Reala Ace is a good call, I might bump mine up.

Classic Chrome. Neither.

There's always one lol. Classic Chrome is fine but everything looks like it's been left out in the sun too long!

can i do something like this on the x half or is it just the presets

Reala Ace with a warm WB shift is basically my whole autumn on the X100VI. I don't even change it any more.

Saving these for my X-T50 while I wait for an X-T6 that is apparently never coming.
