Nostalgic, soft tone and vintage film recipes using Fujifilm film simulations
Kodachrome film recipe using Classic Chrome
Fujifilm simulation Kodachrome recipe for X-Trans IV cameras
Kodachrome film recipes are very popular amongst Fujifilm users, offering a clean nostalgic look that recreates the mood and tones of the classic Kodachrome films. In this recipe, I’ve looked to present a look that is true to that spirit, whilst not specifically trying to recreate Kodachrome II, 25 or 64.
The inspiration for this recipe comes from testing and tweaking the excellent recipes from Fuji X Weekly, where you can find Kodachrome recipes for each specific Kodachrome film, and for older generation sensors.
If you prefer a characterful retro look to your Kodachrome, then take a look at Kodachrome Classic, or for a classic look that’s great every day, try Kodachrome Daily.
