How it behaves

Colour without the clean digital finish.

Classic Negative provides the contrast and colour separation. DR400 and Highlight -1 keep bright skies and pale stone from becoming hard. The warm white-balance shift brings signs, ferries and evening street light forward.

Start at +1/3 EV in cloud, shade or scenes that feel too dark. In stronger sun, begin at 0 and protect the highlights.
