Recipes

A Recipe is a snapshot of image style parameters — it saves Color, Tone, Effects, Dynamic Range, White Balance, WB Shift, and Exposure Compensation settings into a reusable preset.

Creating a Recipe

1. Go to Settings > Recipes
2. Select Create New Recipe — this captures your current settings
3. On the Create New Recipe page, enter a name and toggle which layers to include: Color, Tone, Effects, White Balance, Dynamic Range, EV. Tap any layer to adjust its values.
4. Tap Save (top-right)

Parameters not selected will not be overridden by the Recipe — when switching to that Recipe, those parameters keep their current values.

You can also select Save to Existing Recipe to overwrite an existing Recipe.

Each Recipe automatically generates a theme color based on its name for easy visual identification.

Switching Recipes

Ways to switch Recipes:

• Arc control: Assign Recipe to any corner, then drag the arc to scroll through them
• Quick Cross Menu: Scroll within the Recipe parameter group
• Settings > Recipes: Select directly from the Recipe list

When you switch Recipes, the included parameters are applied immediately and previewed in real time in the viewfinder.

The built-in Default Recipe is always present and cannot be deleted.

Sharing and Importing

Sharing

Recipes are exported as text that can be copied to the clipboard and shared however you like:

SHC3 Recipe: Recipe Name
Color: PROVIA
Tone: Sat +1, Con +2
Effects: Grn +2, Vig +1
DR: Auto
WB: Daylight
WB Shift: M2:B7
EV: +1/3

Importing

Paste Recipe text from the clipboard to import it. SHC3 automatically parses the Recipe format and creates a new Recipe.

Recipe Format

Field descriptions for the Recipe text format:

Only parameters included in the Recipe appear in the text. If an included Tone or Effects layer has no adjustments, it shows as Default.

Photo EXIF metadata also contains a complete record of the style parameters in a format similar to Recipe text, making it easy to review the settings used when the photo was taken.
