Re: Any word on Classic Negative profile coming to X-T3 - white balance shift?

That is a great site but unfortunately older Fujis can't save WB shift etc so it would be a more difficult / annoying setting up recipes...I believe only xt4, xpro3, x100v, xs10 & xe4 has that feature.

I didn't know if my X-1 did that or not, so I put it on auto WB, pointed it at a scene, then changed the WB using the graphical tool on screen. Hit OK, looked around, turned the camera off then back on. Checking on the Auto WB color shift, it had stayed the same place I put it before.

I would think this means I can save WB shift?

No. On those newer (above mentioned) cameras, two "custom settings" (film simulation recipes) can use the same white balance ("Auto", in your example), and have a different color shift applied, changing between them changing color shift accordingly (and automatically). Thus color shift is stored both per white balance and per custom setting.

On older bodies - like your X-T1 (I assume), and my X-T3 - only one color shift is remembered globally, per white balance setting only (no matter "custom setting" in use). So, for example above, changing between "custom settings" using the same white balance where different color shift is needed, user needs to set the correct shift accordingly each time, as the last set one is retained.
