While most Film Simulations are based on classic film emulsions created for photography, ETERNA draws on Fujifilm’s cinematic history. FUJIFILM ETERNA started as a line of professional film stocks for motion pictures. It is renowned for its colour accuracy and has been used in a number of high-profile features. Continuing this legacy, the Film Simulation ETERNA has been designed with filmmaking in mind. It provides a slightly desaturated colour profile with shadow tones

ETERNA is based on FUJIFILM ETERNA – a range of motion-picture film stocks that boasts pristine colour accuracy and a wide dynamic range. Instead of imparting a strong look itself, it is intended to retain as much information as possible for use in post-production processes.
