Classic chrome preset11/27/2023 If there was a way to shift the white balance by fractions this could be made more accurate, as the actual shift should be closer to +0.3 Red and -0.6 Blue, but that’s not possible. This faux Classic Chrome is actually slightly more yellow. There are some differences between actual Classic Chrome and these settings. I figured out how to get pretty darn close using the PRO Neg. Then I tried to replicate that look using one of the other film simulations. Using Classic Chrome, I set Color, Highlight, Shadow and Sharpness at 0, Dynamic Range to DR100, Noise Reduction to -2, and White Balance to Auto with Red and Blue both set to 0. My experiments were conducted on my Fujifilm X-T1. It was literally the last color film simulation that I tried. Std is the film simulation required to mimic Classic Chrome. It’s difficult to get the contrast correct when using Astia, and with Color set to -2 it’s still much too vibrant. I figured that Astia with the contrast turned up and color turned down would be close, but I was wrong. It’s not the advice that I have been giving out over the years, which was based on Astia. I figured it out! And it’s not what you might expect. ![]() I’ve been asked many times how to replicate Classic Chrome for cameras that don’t have it. The X100, X100S, X-E1 and X-Pro1 all lack Classic Chrome. ![]() It was introduced by Fujifilm beginning with the X-Trans II sensor, so those who have X-Trans I cameras or older Bayer sensor cameras don’t have it as an option. It is the most common starting point for my film simulation recipes. ![]() Can you guess which is which?Ĭlassic Chrome is probably the most popular film simulation created by Fujifilm. One of these two pictures is Classic Chrome and one is PRO Neg.
