Bleach Bypass Color Settings inside!

[boro92]

I noticed a few threads about people wondering why there is no Bleach Bypass setting on the GXR.
I personally really enjoy this effect and am here to share the settings!

Credit doesn't all go to me, as I found these somewhere before (though I forgot where), and I did tweak them a little bit.
Info is as below:

Vividness: 1
Contrast: 8
Sharpness: 6

Individual Color Settings
[Hue]
Orange: 8
Greens: 2
Blues: 8
Reds: 2
Magenta: 1

[Vividness]
Orange: 7
Greens: 1
Blues: 8
Reds: 3
Magenta: 1

I'm still trying to figure this out. not sure if I have too much "red" in the vividness part and maybe 1 point in red can be traded for 1 point in orange. But give it a whirl and see how you like it!

For those who are lazy and shoot jpeg, and rely on in camera settings, the above is a relatively good representation of the bb effect.

Hi, I just tried these settings, and they are quite good.

However I compared the image with my GRD with standard Bleach Bypass and it's not quite the same, vivider (I guess).

Did you try anything else ?

Interesting settings. Too bad Ricoh engineers for some unknown reasons removed that detailed color settings from the GR menu. Let's hope they will bring it back in future, because these settings are quite useful. They not only allow a great degree of color customization but they also help with preventing blown higlights (particularly in red channel).
