Gold Standard for an Everyday Kodak Gold

Pro Neg Standard film recipe for a Kodak Gold look on Fujifilm X-Trans IV

Gold Standard Film Recipe

Gold Standard

It’s good to have a setting that you can just rely on, and know it’ll give a great result in all sorts of conditions. This recipe is based upon Pro Neg Standard, and is aimed at being a good-to-go film recipe.

The look was modelled on the Kodak Gold aesthetic, with a warmer tone and mid-saturation colours. It shares a number of settings, including the colour balance with the Kodak Gold recipe that uses Classic Chrome. This recipe is richer, with a bit more punch, reflecting the use of Pro Negative Standard.

If your memory of Kodak Gold is something from an earlier decade, you might also enjoy Kojak Gold, a nostalgic take on the Kodak Gold 200 look.

    Looks great!

    As you have the “Colour Chrome effect” listed on your settings, I suppose it’s made for the X-Trans IV sensors. It would be very helpful if you’d name the sensor on your recipes, so it’s easier to see if it’s possible to use it on a specific camera. 😉

      Thanks Moe, for that good idea. I do mention on the homepage that this site is X-Trans IV, but there’s no harm in me adding a note on the pages too.
