What separates these two recipes
Analog Color is built on Pro Neg Std and Bright Summer on Classic Chrome: two different film simulations as the starting point. They differ in 11 settings: Film Simulation (Pro Neg. Std vs Classic Chrome), Dynamic Range (200 vs 400), Grain (Strong vs Off), Grain Size (Small vs Off), White Balance (Daylight vs Kelvin), WB Shift (R-3 B+1 vs R-4 B-2), and more.
The full settings sheet for both recipes is under the viewer above, differences highlighted. Every render is the photographer's single RAW file developed by a Fujifilm camera's own processor and verified against the camera's metadata. The pictures are the settings, nothing else.

How this works
A photographer submits a RAW file. We connect a real Fujifilm camera over USB and have its processor develop that one file in every recipe in the catalog, using the same in-camera engine that develops your photos when you shoot. Each render's settings are verified from the camera's own metadata before it's published.
Is this really the camera, or a software simulation?
Really the camera. Every image here is a JPEG developed by a Fujifilm camera's own processor. We send the photographer's RAW file to the camera over USB with a recipe's settings, and the camera develops it exactly as if it had been shot that way. No Lightroom, no presets, no emulation.
Is it the same photo in every recipe?
Yes. Each scene is one single RAW file, developed once per recipe. Everything that changes between two renders is the recipe: same light, same moment, same exposure.
How do you know a render actually matches the recipe?
Every developed JPEG carries the camera's own record of the settings used, written into its metadata. We read that back and verify it against the recipe before a render enters the gallery.
Why is a recipe missing on some scenes?
Physics, mostly. DR400 recipes need the shot to be taken at ISO 500 or higher, and DR200 at ISO 320 or higher; below that the camera refuses. A few recipes also use settings the USB conversion can't reproduce (like toned black-and-whites); those wait rather than render wrong.
