Classic Chrome film recipe for X-Trans IV in a 1960’s Kodachrome style

If there is one name that is synonymous with photography from the second half of the twentieth century, it is Kodak. For so many of the most momentous images that marked the history of the era, Kodachrome film was how they were captured.

Our cameras come with the Classic Chrome film simulation, which brings a base look that is similar to images from the era. When partnered with the color chrome effect, and adjustments to color balance and tone curve, nostalgic retro looks in the Kodak style can be achieved.

There are many out there, with a good selection on this site, and Fuji X Weekly. This one is new in that it provides a bold and characterful interpretation, that for me, is closest to shots processed in the 1960s. Blues in particular are striking from this recipe, and the overall image has a wonderful sixties style look.
