Create a Recipe

A Recipe keeps the camera settings behind a look in one place. Other photographers can find it, save it, try it, add it to a collection, link it to Posts, or Fork it when they change the settings.

​

Create it once

You don’t need a new Recipe every time you use the same look. Publish it once, then link that Recipe from every future Post made with it. Each linked Post adds another real example of how the Recipe works without duplicating the settings.

​

Start from a Fujifilm photograph

If you have the untouched original JPEG or RAF from your Fujifilm camera, Recipe Analyser can read supported settings and use them to start a new Recipe. You can open Recipe Analyser directly from the create menu, or choose Recipe and add your reference photographs as normal. When you begin with Recipe, Recipe Room checks the original cover photograph and fills in any useful settings before you continue. Review and edit every detected value before publishing.

​

Choose the right type

If another photographer’s Recipe was your starting point, open that Recipe and use its Community or Fork flow. Do not recreate it as Custom. Read Recipe Types for the detailed rules.

​

Publish a Custom Recipe

1. Tap the create button.
2. Choose Recipe.
3. Choose Custom.
4. Add reference photographs that show the look.
5. Add a title and description.
6. Add a location when it gives the Recipe useful context.
7. Add mentions or credits where relevant.
8. Choose the Fujifilm camera model.
9. Choose a film simulation supported by that camera.
10. Enter the settings available for that camera.
11. Add accurate tags.
12. Publish.

Recipe Room uses the selected camera to show the settings that model supports. Newer cameras may use controls such as Grain Roughness and Size, while older models retain their supported legacy controls. Highlights and Shadows use half steps, such as +1.5, on cameras that support them. Other cameras use whole steps. Changing the camera adjusts the Recipe to the settings that model supports and explains the changes, so review them before publishing.

​

What you can add

​

Keep regular choices close

Use the star beside a camera or film simulation to mark it as a favourite. Favourites rise to the top of the matching picker the next time you create a Post or Recipe, while the full list remains available underneath. Favouriting changes the order of the picker. It does not hide the rest of the available cameras or film simulations.

​

Help people understand the look

A useful Recipe page should answer three questions quickly:

1. What does this look like?
2. Which camera and film simulation is it for?
3. What exact settings do I need?

Choose honest reference photographs, describe the character of the look, and use tags that reflect its light, mood, subject, or use case.

​

How a Recipe helps the community

A public Recipe can be found through Search, Explore, your profile, public collections, and Posts linked to it. Each route gives people another way to reach the settings and the photographer who shared them. Recipes are most useful when the community can see them in use. Link your own Posts to the Recipe and let other photographers link theirs when they use it. Publishing a Recipe or linking a Post doesn’t guarantee recommendation placement. Clear settings, useful examples, accurate details, and genuine community interest make the connection more valuable.

​

Edit or delete a published Recipe

Open your Recipe’s more menu and choose Edit to update its title, description, tags, location, mentions, or credits. For a published Community or Forked Recipe, Edit also lets you manage a source link you added manually. You can correct that link, or remove it from a Community Recipe. A Forked Recipe must retain a source. Sources attached when you start with Fork stay locked to the Recipe you started from. Custom Recipes do not have a source link. Reference photographs, the camera model, film simulation, ISO, exposure compensation, and the rest of the Recipe settings are locked after creation. This keeps linked Posts and saved copies attached to the settings that were originally published. If the settings need to change, create a Fork or publish a new Recipe instead. Choose Delete from the edit screen when you want to remove the Recipe permanently. The Posts that linked it remain on their creators’ profiles, but their Recipe link is no longer available.

​

Put it on your camera

When you’re ready to try a Recipe, send it to a supported camera or add it manually. Read Tagging and Crediting to mention someone in the description, credit a Recipe Room account, or add an external attribution link.
