SOOC JPEG with a modern/clean look

[Zohar]

Hope I can get an answer for my problem here as I've spent days searching online invain.

I'm shooting only JPEG SOOC for work as I need to hand my pictures to the customers by the end of the day.

As much as I love my X-T4 over my previous Sony a6500 I'm having a hard time with it. I'm only using one camera with one lens (XF18-55mm) and I'm hiking with it all day long. 

I take pictures of the customers around the many waterfalls and views we have around here. I rarely have time to "deal" with the camera settings.

Since Fuji film simulations recipes are mostly, well, simulating films I've been getting quite a lot of compliments from customers saying the the pictures look "too artistic","dull" or "feels a bit washed color".

I'm in a dire search for a modern, clean, sharp and poppi kind of film recipe! One (or more)I can use in many different scenarios. 

Hope my redemption will come from this forum and you good people that know photography and Fujifilm way better then me.

Thank you for reading this long post and looking forward to your comments.

There are quite a few places out there offering recipes, here are a couple:

https://film.recipes

https://www.ivanyolo.com/fujifilm-recipes/

When you go looking, remember to take in account which sensor the recipe is designed to work with, you mention using a X-T4, so your camera should be okay to use a very large number of the ones offered.

Thank you Jerry for your comment!

I've searched through and through on both of this places and through the more known one fujixweekly and still came out empty handed.

It is very possible I've missed a recipe that would have solved my problem due to the sheer number of recipes this guys have, and this is why I'm asking here for help.

The film.recipes page has a sort of long list at the bottom of the page of other recipe sources, you may find something there.

I'll definitely have a look at that! 

Thank you for your help!

Still if anyone have an recipe thy already use for the same/similar porpoise I'd love to hear it

Zohar, you do not say in your message how long you have used your fuji xt4 nor which of the on-board film sims you have used.

My experience with my X-S10 and X100v suggests that using the standard Provia film sim, set WB to daylight and get your exposure right (use the histogram) will give you a perfect jpeg SOOC suitable for skin tones as well as water falls.

You may have tried this already but if not I suggest you give it a go.

Best of luck, Dave.

Thank you Dave for your comment.

I'll give it a go!

Right now I found an almost perfect (for me) film recipe called Astia Geographic, but I'm always willing to try new things!

Thanks again

Old thread, but you could also try this site, oyvindwashere for some great recipes. I use one of these as my standard simulation. I stay away from the Fuji-X Weekly recipes, they play around with the white balance too much to make them usable, unless overly red/golden images float your boat.

Thank you! I'm always on the lookout for new things to try and new sources to explore. Much appreciated
