A classic chrome film recipe for a Kodachrome look for Fujifilm X-Trans IV
This film simulation recipe is one of set of three that I created with a specific aim in mind. I wanted to embrace the qualities of the Kodak look in a pure form, and bring the character of the Classic Chrome film simulation out into the open.
In this recipe, you get a strongly Kodachrome look, but without it being specifically Kodachrome 64 or Kodachrome 25. It has somthing of the character of both of these, but is also definitely Fujifillm Classic Chrome at the same time.
Colours are rich, shadows and deep and luxurious, and the blues are full of nostalgic character. This simple recipe is Kodacolor in a pure form.

More Kodak Color Film Recipes
It might annoy Fujifilm that the most sought after film recipes are those of the Kodak family of film stocks. I see more photos posted with Portra, Kodachrome and Tri-X looks than I do with any of the Fujicolor counter parts. This of course is due to the deep heritage that Kodak has, and with the abiliaty of our cameras to so readily produce Kodak style looks.
Here’s a small selection of some other Kodak film recipes, with the top row of three from this site, the middle coming from Fuji X Weekly, and the bottom row from this site again, with some of the more specialist Kodak looks.
