A raw file goes back to the camera that took it, over USB, and the camera develops it again in a different recipe. Full resolution, its own processor. Still the camera's colour, still not an edit.


The comparison gallery develops one raw file through a set of recipes on a real camera, so you can see the difference before you commit. It is deliberately small: every recipe in it is Fujifilm's own, or is there because the photographer who made it said yes.
Open the galleryDrop a straight-out-of-camera shot in the Recipe Extractor and the exact settings come back, read from the file.
Extract a recipeEvery recipe photographers here have made public, each one linked to the real shots it made.
Explore recipesThe reference photos come from photographers, not stock. Contribute a scene and every comparison made with it carries your credit.
Submit a sceneIt sends one of your raw files back to your own Fujifilm over USB, tells the camera which recipe to use, and the camera develops the JPEG itself. Full resolution, its own processor, the same engine that develops your photos when you shoot. Nothing is simulated and nothing is uploaded.
None of those. A recipe is a set of in-camera settings, and the camera applies them. A preset approximates a camera's colour in software; here the camera does its own work, so there is nothing to approximate.
A Fujifilm camera, a USB cable, and Chrome or Edge on a desktop or Android. It does not work in Safari or on iPhone, because those browsers have no WebUSB. The iPhone app talks to the camera a different way.
The photo is exactly as the camera wrote it. The colour and tone are the camera's film simulation, not a preset or an edit added afterwards. You can crop and add a border for composition, but the look is the recipe.
Fujifilm cameras write every processing setting (film simulation, tones, grain, white balance shift) into each photo's metadata. We read it automatically when you post. You never type a recipe in.
It bookmarks it. The recipe pins to the top of your pickers so it is there when you want it, and new photos shot with it land in your feed. Saving does not rename anything and does not publish anything, and it is private to you.
You don't sign up first. Compose your post, and we email you a link to publish it. Clicking the link creates your free account on the spot, no password. So there's no signup wall, but you do end up with a free account, which is what keeps the post yours.
The photographer, always: every photo carries their name. A recipe is named by the first person to publish a photo shot with it, and that name is theirs to change. Recipes made by other people are only shown here if they said yes.
Because a recipe is only in it if it is one of Fujifilm's own, or its creator said yes, or a photographer here made it. It used to carry recipes collected from around the web without anyone being asked, and that was the wrong way round. The catalog is over 60 recipes today and it grows as people offer theirs.
Not many yet. Focal Click is new, and we'd rather say so than fake a crowd. Being early is the deal: make a recipe or contribute a scene now and the credit is permanently yours.
