How to Use Fuji Presets for Portraits
Here’s the simple workflow I tell every portrait shooter:
- Get your exposure right in-camera. Presets can’t fix bad light.
- Apply your preset first. Don’t tweak color before.
- Adjust white balance. Fuji film is known for cooler greens and subtle magentas. Balance to taste.
- Fine-tune contrast and grain. Keep it natural.
- Stick to one look per shoot. Makes galleries feel cohesive.
