Chefchaouen, often called the “Blue Pearl” of Morocco, is renowned for its striking blue-washed buildings and narrow, winding streets. Nestled in the Rif Mountains, this picturesque town offers stunning views and a tranquil atmosphere. Founded in 1471, Chefchaouen has a rich history that blends Berber, Arab, and Andalusian influences. It is a popular destination for tourists seeking to experience its vibrant culture, local crafts, and delicious cuisine. Additionally, the nearby Talassemtane National Park provides opportunities for hiking and exploring the natural beauty of the region.
PictureFX Creative Chefchaouen Blue enhances the colors that are typical for this Moroccan town; it is a bit Spanish, Greek, Moroccan, and Mediterranean. It especially enhances blue, but also red and ocher. This makes it an interesting color grading filter for beach, sea, and sunsets.


In both examples here, the filter has been applied at 100%, but you will probably get the best result by adjusting the strength a bit to your liking.
