Film Recipes for Fujifilm Cameras

Nostalgic, soft tone and vintage film recipes using Fujifilm film simulations

Toasty Chrome, Warm & Retro Chrome

A warm nostalgic classic chrome film simulation recipe for Fujifilm cameras

The Classic Chrome film simulation is a wonderful look, and a versatile base for building recipes. Out of the box, Classic Chrome is fabulously retro, but a little cool, so adding creamy warmth makes for a lovely nostalgic look.

That’s what we have here, with a Shade/Cloudy white balance, with additional shift. The result is wonderfully warm, working really well in golden hour and in sunny conditions. It sits somewhere in the same area as the deeper Yakisugi and more nostalgic Retrochrome. Also similar is Rosa Negative, with a warm tone but lower saturation.

Classic Chrome recipes with a warm colour balance are both popular and quite common. A warm retro look can be achieved with other simulations too, of course. So, rather than wade throgh long lists, here are a few favourites of mine from this site and elsewhere by other creators.
