Soft slide film. Lifted shadows, gentle saturation, flattering skin.

About Astia
Astia trades Velvia's saturation for skin-tone fidelity. Shadows are lifted, contrast is softer than Provia, and reds are pulled back so that lips and cheeks do not blow out under tungsten. Wedding and editorial photographers shooting JPEG often default to Astia for outdoor portraits in natural light. It tends to look slightly more saturated than the Astia 100F it is named for; pull Color down one stop if you want closer fidelity.
