Urban Negative

Urban Negative is my first custom recipe for the X100VI, built for everyday shooting with warm tones and moody shadows.

It builds on Classic Negative’s base characteristics, with reduced highlights and slightly lifted shadows to retain detail in high-contrast scenes. The white balance shift (+2 Red, -3 Blue) introduces warmth, while DR400 ensures a broader tonal range. Combined with strong FX Blue and lowered clarity, this recipe delivers a textured, cinematic look ideal for everyday urban shooting.
