Astia Dream

Astia Dream is a Fujifilm film recipe that delivers vivid, vibrant colours while maintaining a gentle, soft contrast, resulting in a balanced look. Using the DR400 setting, Astia Dream manages image extremes by toning down bright highlights and lifting shadows. This ensures that details are preserved evenly across both bright and dark areas, creating images that feel more dynamic without harsh contrasts.

In addition to its tonal balance, Astia Dream enhances colour depth with the Colour Chrome Effect, which intensifies hues without oversaturation. This effect is paired with a subtle Colour Chrome FX Blue, which delicately enriches blue tones while preserving the image's overall warmth. The simulation also tones down sharpness and clarity, allowing the softer colours to shine through without appearing overly crisp or harsh. To complete the aesthetic, a subtle grain effect is added, enhancing the smooth, vibrant palette and adding texture and a film-like quality that complement each other.
