Color film that matches JPEG's from Fuji X-1Pro?

I am curious about a color film that has similar saturation qualities to the X100 and X1P?

I usually work with Portra 400 but it seems a little washed out compared to my new X1P

I want something that the local lab cant screw up either

thanks

<p>I was curious about Fuji's claims that their various in-camera JPEG modes emulated Fuji color films. So far of all the Fuji JPEG samples I've seen, most resemble Reala more than anything else. But that's not bad at all. I haven't seen any that quite match Provia (unless they want to program in bluish shadows) or Astia. The Fuji JPEGs all resemble Reala 100 and Superia X-tra films.</p>

I've heard of trying to give digital a film look, but this is the first time I've seen a question about which film gives a digital

look.

<p>If it seems a little washed out then reduce your exposure. Easy.</p>

<p>I've given up on local labs for color film processing. Our last neighborhood minilab switched to dye sub printing only a few months ago, and all film is sent out now. The dye sub print quality is very erratic. Good some runs, not so good others.</p>

<p>For better or worse, if you intend to use film and want good results, you'll need to either pony up for competent pro labs or do it yourself. Otherwise you'll never see the full potential of films like Portra.</p>

<p>As Frank said, the new is the standard which the old must mimic.</p>

Portra is capable of a huge variety of looks. It all comes down to how you expose it and how it's scanned and

postprocessed. I had one lab near me that knew that when I brought them a roll of Portra with photos of people on it and

wanted scans I had used Portra because I wanted a natural skin color and they gave me scans with nicely muted color.

Across the street was a drug store that, when given the same film shot in similar conditions, would give me crazy high

contrast saturated scans. I decided after the good shop closed that the only way to get any consistency was to do all my

own scanning.

<p>Like televisions in the showroom, lots of digital cameras some set for "hyped up" color saturation. If you want more hyped-up color to match the Fuji, consider Kodak UltraMax 400. If you want yet more saturation, Kodak Ektar 100.<br>

Kodak Portra 400 well-scanned gives a very natural result. Portra 160 will have an unnaturally dull result, it's contrast is low. You have to apply curves to Portra 160 prints, decide what parts of the tonal range to compress. But the color saturation of both is very real.<br>

But, if you're not controlling the printing process, you need a better lab, or to be your own lab.</p>
