Coffee Chrome for Creamy Cafe Tones

Brown tinted film recipe with cafe tones for X-Trans IV Fujifilm cameras

Coffee Chrome

Here’s a Fuji camera film recipe for X-series that captures a coffee brown colour tone, to add a sophisticated warmth in a low saturation image. It works well in the golden hour, turning it into the cafe latte hour.

The colour shift is quite strong in this film recipe, shifting Classic Chrome with a colour temp of 8100k plus a +1, +5 adjustment. Shadows are deep with a +2 setting, and saturation is set to minimum to prevent the tone becoming too toffee like.

Cinechrome for Smooth Cinematic Tones

Classic Chrome film simulation recipe for Fujifilm X-Trans IV cameras

Cinechrome

Cinematic tones can be many things, but for me it means a low saturation smoothness with a subtle retro tint. This recipe gives you cinemtatic tone with the classic chrome simulation, so it’s called Cinechrome.

As well as softness from reduced saturation and low contrast, this film recipe has a 5800 base temperature, with a subtle blue colour balance. This cools the image a little, giving an aged nostalgic feel to pictures without appearing too creamy. Grain is off for a clean, smooth look.

Kodak Portra for a Classic Soft Look

Film simulation recipe for Kodak Portra 160 looks on X-Trans 4 cameras

Kodak Portra

There’s a magical romance that surrounds Kodak Portra film, and I see photos with recipes for Portra 160, 400 or 800 about as often as anything other than Kodachrome. The film itself is beautiful, with soft warm creamy tones that are kind to faces, but also work really well in sunlight for urban, desert and nostalgia shots. Think faded Americana, and you’ve probably seen Portra.

The recipe aims to show off that creamy 160 warmth and low tonal range that makes Kodak Porta such a popular choice. I’ve kept the colour down a touch, in keeping with my perference, and taken a small grain option. It’s soft, delicate and refined.

Mistychrome to enhance Mellow Mist & Fog

Fuji X-Trans IV film recipe for misty and foggy weather

Mistychrome

Of all the possible weathers, I love mist & fog the most. Whenever it is forecast, I’ll set an alarm and try and go out snapping. I wanted a recipe to capture the soft paleness of a misty day, with low saturation and flat contrast.

In trying this out, I was very pleased with the results, acheiving a pale, low contrast look with some birch trees and New Forest ponies. A bit of over exposing can help further fade out the background, and achieve an effective separation of foreground objects.

I’ve tried the recipe in some clear conditions too, and the effect is quite fun with a low saturation look. Although that’s not what I really made it for, I’ll continue to give it a try in a variety of situations.

Kodak Gold, Classic Kodak Chrome Style

Fujifilm classic chrome Kodak Gold film recipe for X-Trans IV cameras

Kodak Gold

My first film camera was an Olympus OM-10 and I remember shooting roll after roll of Kodak Gold film with it. I wanted this recipe to not only capture the general feel of this classic film, but also to remind me of shooting film back in the day.

So I landed on Classic Chrome settings give that give a warm cast with a fairly strong +4, -5 adjustment to daylight balance. The other settings are more subtle, keeping it simple with a small adjustment to highlights and shadows, and a little extra softness. Grain is set to strong for a filmic texture, but you can of course tone this down if you find it distracting.

Also try: Kojak Gold, a nostaligc Gold 200 recipe, Gold Standard, a fresh recipe for Kodak Gold with Pro Neg Std, and for an aged look with desaturated warm tones, Classic Gold is also available.

Kodak Ektar film recipe with Classic Chrome

Fujifilm simulation Kodak Ektar film recipe for X-Trans IV cameras

Kodak Ektar

We’re almost spoiled for choice as far as Kodak Ektar film recipes are concerned. There are at least four that I have seen, which of course, all produce different results (scroll to bottom for some links).

For my tastes, each of these had something I liked, but share a +4 colour setting, which I personally find too strong, and outside my preference for softer tones. So, another Kodak film recipe is born, which is still a colourful look, but is a little less saturated than others.

I enjoy shooting with it in bright conditions, bringing a punchy style that is still natural in appearance, just like Ektar photos of the past.

Agfachrome Cool for Agfa Style Tones

Fujifilm simulation recipe for a cool tone Agfa style for X-Trans IV cameras

Agfachrome Cool

On clear blue sky sunny days, adding warmth with a mellow recipe can sometimes alter the mood of a scene to a point where the spirit of the capture is lost. For days like this, especially with big skies or the sea in the picture, I find a cooler blue tone look to give a more effective result.

This film recipe started life inspired by the Agfa recipes at Fuji X Weekly. I wanted to capture some of the blue tint, but adapt the tones and saturation to better suit my peronal style of a softer tone look.

The style is useful throughout the year, but especially effective in the frosty conditions of winter. The tone compliments the natural light and emphasises the colder weather feeling.

Kodachrome film recipe using Classic Chrome

Fujifilm simulation Kodachrome recipe for X-Trans IV cameras

Kodachrome

Kodachrome film recipes are very popular amongst Fujifilm users, offering a clean nostalgic look that recreates the mood and tones of the classic Kodachrome films. In this recipe, I’ve looked to present a look that is true to that spirit, whilst not specifically trying to recreate Kodachrome II, 25 or 64.

The inspiration for this recipe comes from testing and tweaking the excellent recipes from Fuji X Weekly, where you can find Kodachrome recipes for each specific Kodachrome film, and for older generation sensors.

If you prefer a characterful retro look to your Kodachrome, then take a look at Kodachrome Classic, or for a classic look that’s great every day, try Kodachrome Daily.
