Fujifilm Film Simulation and Saturation

Post by Fed »

I love the program!

It would be great to be able to decode the Film mode and Saturation to generate the Film Simulation of the Fujifilm cameras. I can find these fields in the ExifTool section of the image properties, under MakerNotes.

They can be decoded by the following. I got the information from the unencoded js files that the developer of https://www.solentsystems.com/exif3/ graciously left open. I did email him and he told me to find the info on the website.


If FilmMode contains [a number below] then substitute [“Film Simulation Type”]

var FilmModeArray = {
0 : "Provia/Standard",
288 : "Astia/Soft",
512 : "Velvia/Vivid",
1280 : "PRO Neg. Std",
1281 : "PRO Neg. Hi",
1536 : "Classic Chrome",
1792 : "Eterna/Cinema",
2048 : "Classic Negative",
2304 : "Eterna Bleach Bypass",
2560 : "Nostalgic Neg",
2816 : "Reala ACE"
};


Likewise,
If Saturation contains [a number below] then substitute [“Film Simulation Type”]

var SaturationArray = {
768 : "B&W",
769 : "B&W Red Filter",
770 : "B&W Yellow Filter",
771 : "B&W Green Filter",
784 : "B&W Sepia",
1280 : "Acros",
1281 : "Acros Red Filter",
1282 : "Acros Yellow Filter",
1283 : "Acros Green Filter"
};


I haven’t found the Dynamic Range, etc setting yet, but the above are the most important.
If they can be done, then I can look to find the other fields that Fujifilm users would find very useful.

Any chance this can be implemented. Or perhaps an open "decoding" field that we can use to program ourselves?

Thanks for a great program!

Sorry, my mistake. I now see that it has already been done. You just included the raw information as well, and that confused me. I think it’s better your way.

Any idea if the dynamic range (D100-D200) or other factors that go into a “Film Recipe” have been done, or are being considered?

Again, truly awesome program.
