Film grain and light leak recipe for phone photos

Real grain lives in shadows and midtones; light leaks behave like optical accidents. Start with FXN R, then add H Glow carefully so the frame stays analog — not Instagram dust.

Recipe Steps

**Step 1: Base look on FXN R** Establish warm film color and natural grain first. Texture without a film base looks like an overlay. **Step 2: Add H Glow sparingly** Open H Glow when you want Holga-style vignette and leaks. One strong leak beats three stacked effects. **Step 3: Protect midtone detail** If grain starts covering faces, pull intensity back. Authenticity language rewards texture you can still read through. **Step 4: Shoot for leaks** Bright edges, windows, and backlight give leaks somewhere to live. Flat cloudy gray frames waste the effect. **Step 5: Save and compare** Auto-save both a clean FXN R frame and a leak frame so you can pick the stronger dump later.

Settings Notes

Soft Korean / 90s Japan recipes share the FXN R base — this one is specifically about grain + leak stacking. Avoid CCD flash unless you want a deliberate mashup.
