Basically I decided that I would never use Bleach Bypass on any landscape images but that I might occasionally benefit from Classic Negative.

I first thought that too, but Bleach Bypass can work out pretty well in certain cases. It doesn't have that cyan shift of Classic Chrome, nor the weird greens of Classic Negative.

Some recent examples I made

I must admit to being an old-codger who is generally stuck in his ways.

Personally I normally prefer my images to be 'natural' (especially the colours) and to that end I have created my own ICC camera profiles for my X-H1 and X-T1 and use those profiles in Capture One using either the 'Film Standard' or 'Linear' curves (i.e. not a film simulation).

The main reason for my writing the original forum post was that at the time I was quite bored and also seeing quite a few forum posts bemoaning the lack of these film simulations for various cameras in Capture One.

As a retired professional engineer I also try to keep my brain active so the challenge of finding a solution was quite attractive.

Looking at your images I can also see where you are coming from but as I said above, I like natural looking images. Thank goodness that we are all different.
