Pro Neg. Hi recipes

Pro Neg. Hi is drawn from Fujicolor Pro 160NH, a professional portrait negative film sold for location and wedding work. The simulation keeps saturation restrained, well below Provia, but adds a firmer tone curve than its Standard sibling, so images have structure without the color ever competing with a subject's skin.

Skin tone is the whole story here: hue transitions across a face stay smooth and neutral in a way the slide-film simulations can't quite match, while the added contrast keeps outdoor portraits from feeling flat. It handles hard light more gracefully than Astia and gives environmental portraits a quietly editorial feel.

In recipes, Pro Neg. Hi is the specialist's pick: a favored base for natural portrait looks and muted lifestyle recipes, where a touch of warmth and soft grain finish the job the film stock started.
