Fujifilm X-Trans 4 film simulation recipe using Classic Chrome
Documentary
For a natural look that isn’t overly stylised, this recipe uses Classic Chrome with only minor adjustments to the base settings. This allows you to capture life as it is, shooting the world around you in a documentary style.
In a way, the small adjustments do pull against the Classic Chrome simulation, bringing it back closer to neutral, with a slight warming and small boost to colour. But, with the values of all settings being small, the personality of Classic Chrome is still the defining characteristic of this recipe.
