Film Recipes for Fujifilm Cameras

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

Slide Film 400, Positive Film Style

Classic Chrome film simulation recipe with fine grain and slide like color

I never shot slide film during my 35mm camera days, but I was always impressed with the rich color and deep contrast. Blues in particular seemed so vivid, and I never quite managed to replicate that with negative film.

Now that I’m shooting digital with my Fujifilm X Series, I get to play at shooting in a slide film style with a film recipe with some of the same qualities.

In this film recipe, I have used Classic Chrome as the base, but have boosted the colour with a +4 setting. The colour is further enhanced by shooting at 1 stop underexposed, with the -1/3 setting. Other elements include a fine grain, DR400 for smooth highlights, and a -1 shadows setting, which keeps shadows deep but natural with the underexposure.
