The lookWhy this one earns a slot

Eterna Bleach Bypass recreates the silver-retention darkroom process: very low saturation combined with high contrast. It produces a gritty, almost monochromatic colour look that's striking for street, industrial and dramatic scenes. It earns a custom slot for gritty, cinematic and urban.

Notes & caveatsWhat it nails, what to watch

What it nails

  • Tuned for gritty.
  • Tuned for cinematic.
  • Tuned for urban.
  • Every value is listed — copy it to a custom slot once and shoot.

What to watch

  • This recipe is tuned for X-Trans IV. It will work on X-Trans V, but blue can render more deeply there — adjust to taste.
  • The X-T3 and X-T30 don't offer Clarity, Grain Size or Color Chrome FX Blue — skip those values on those two bodies.
  • Less suited to soft portraits.
