From RAW to Retro: Fuji Lightroom Editing - Photographer editing a mountain photo in Lightroom with Fuji-style colors on screen

If you love the soft color magic of Fuji film, you can bring it straight into your Lightroom workflow. Start with a Fuji preset to speed things up. The Fuji presets for Lightroom collection gives you that timeless color palette without hours of fiddling.

Get the Fujifilm Look

Fuji’s film stocks – like Velvia 100 or Provia 100F – are famous for rich greens, clean blues, and gentle contrast. To mimic that, keep your white balance slightly cool and reduce green saturation by 5–10%. Slide the green hue a little toward yellow for a natural feel. In the Calibration panel, raise blue primary saturation by 10–20 points for that crisp Fuji pop.

How do you edit photos to get Fuji film colors in Lightroom?

Start with a Fuji preset, cool the white balance, reduce green saturation by 5–10%, shift green hue slightly toward yellow, and boost blue primary saturation by 10–20 in Calibration.

Try These Presets

If you like bold color for travel shots, check out the Velvia 100 preset for punchy greens and blues. Prefer a calmer mood? The Provia 100F preset keeps tones natural while holding detail in shadows. Both options give you a fast start and plenty of room to fine-tune.

Extra Tips

Shoot RAW to keep maximum color data. Fuji-style editing shines when you keep highlights soft, so pull down the highlights slider a bit and add a small amount of texture for a film-like finish.

In a report covering 2024 market shares, Photo Review identified Fujifilm as the “outstanding performer,” growing its market share from 6% to 9%. This was based on data collected from Japanese companies for the CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association), which showed Fujifilm’s camera shipments increased by 3%.

Whether you’re working on mountain scenes, city parks, or backyard gardens, these steps will give your RAW files the classic Fuji vibe. The Fuji presets for Lightroom category is the easiest way to start and finish with confidence.
