Fuji has an interesting "film simulation" they call "Pro Neg Hi." I thought about it a bit and came up with what I feel is a pretty good Sony version of the concept, but I'm not yet happy with the results. I'm posting it here as a work in progress.
Recipe ~
Sony "Professional Negative" (hand rolled) in-camera color grading
Picture Profile -
Black level: -6
Gamma: Still
Black Gamma: Middle -6
Knee: Auto, Max Point 95%, Sensitivity Mid
Colour Mode: Still
Saturation: -1
Colour Phase: +6
Colour Dept: R0 , G+7, B+6, C+2, M+2, Y+1
Detail: Level 0
Additional Camera Settings -
EV -0.3
AWB
So what's wrong with this? In short, the color phase is shifted too strongly from red to pink (and all the other colors shifting with it). If I knock the Color Phase back, the recipe becomes too similar to the other recipes that I'm working on and there's too little differentiation.
In working on a "high key" color palette I think I've stumbled across something that'll be different enough from the other recipes and at the same time provide the foundation for something very flexible. I'll post that recipe with comments next.
