AI reference frame for the Sony recipe Faded Summer Celluloid
This image is an AI reference frame: Luma generates it alongside the recipe to show the mood being aimed at. No photograph here was taken with these settings, and it is not a sample of what your camera will produce. The settings values are the real thing.

Evokes the look of expired 35mm film shot during the hazy final days of summer. The FL (Film) creative look combined with elevated fade and warm white balance recreates the characteristic color shift and soft contrast of vintage celluloid — slightly bleached highlights, lifted shadows, and a gentle amber-green cast that screams late-season nostalgia. Best used on sun-drenched street scenes, flea markets, roadside diners, or candid people shots where the heat of the day lingers in every frame. Shoot in open shade or during the soft overhead light of late afternoon for maximum haze effect.
