[@77cats-2]

I never had much appeal for Classic Chrome despite loving pictures produced in the 60s and 70s, despite so many recipes built upon it. I've instead tried to replicate that look I have in mind with the other film simulations, but it never really worked. I had seen your video some time ago but it's only today that I had enough practice with the Fujifilm simulations to really appreciate it. I was about to test with Classic Negative but I'll give Classic Chrome a chance as well.

[@BoorayPerry]

Classic Neg is very similar. Have you tried a custom Kodachrome 64 recipe? It's pretty great.

[@77cats-2]

I tried the Kodachrome 64 recipe from Fuji X Weekly some time ago but it was the X-Trans IV for X-T3 cameras, I should try the X-Trans V version now that I can. From what I see, Classic Chrome has red hues similar to Provia Standard with blues shifted toward cyan, and Classic Negative has blues close to Provia but with reds shifted toward orangey tones. Their contrast level seem very close but Classic Negative seem to have richer reds. Looking at colour photo books of Herzog and Winogrand, the red seem closer to what Classic Negative shows; I should try both with the Kodachrome 64 settings. It's really useful to hear from people like you who have experienced the real Kodachrome slides. All I can remember are printed photos in magazines and it's affected by that colour memory Fujifilm talks about. What makes it even harder is that eye adaptation you mentionned here and how things appear normal after a few seconds. The grass photo with Classic Chrome really felt better. The lower saturation let us pay more attention to the structure/shapes, like a black and white image would. I know that but I seem to always go toward more saturated images when going outside.

[@BoorayPerry]

@@77cats-2 The only experience I have with slides is the ones my parents produced. I think that it's okay to go with what you saw in print because that's what most people saw. Go with your gut. :)

[@GarretGrayCamera]

I like CC as well. I'm probably an outlier but as a photographer I really dislike messing with color and everything in post, it's just too many variables. I just like to rely on the simulations, kind of like back in the day where you were at the mercy of the film stock and how someone else processed it.

[@rutlegs]

I'm in this camp as well. Not a fan of post processing other than a crop here and there.

[@blackburd]

It's rare these days that I learn something new about photography. I have seen these color profiles before and thought... what's all the fuss about, there's really not much difference. Why did they go to all the trouble of creating this for such a small effect. With the explanation I have gained some real insight and can appreciate the color grading. This brings me back to a photo shoot I did with headshots for 250 people. Every time I go back and look at that set of photos I'm extremely dissatisfied with the color. They all look pink or red to me. Everyone else says they are fantastic and my wife thinks I'm crazy for "being too critical." Many people bought the photos and hung them on the wall and gave them as gifts to family. I had experienced the effect of staring at them too long and realizing they DO LOOK GOOD! without understanding photo memory. This is such fantastic information.

[@BoorayPerry]

This really makes my day!

[@MumtazBahri]

I went through Classic Chrome colors deeply and I was surprised that Classic Chrome look different on different Fujifilm cameras. Example: same photo same settings, classic chrome colors look brighter and more vibrant on the fujifilm xf10 than x100t. and it is big different, how do u explain that?

[@nyanyamero]

@@MumtazBahri they have different profiles according to the generation of x-trans sensor the camera have.

[@MumtazBahri]

[@Sylanthus]

I just want to say that this video was really helpful for me. I've been really struggling to decide what my "standard" film simulation will be, and while I am still thinking about it, this perspective is REALLY insightful and helpful, thank you!!!

[@BoorayPerry]

It's very kind that you took time to write that. I really appreciate it. :) Just be warned that it might all change if you ever start looking at custom film sims. :)

[@Sylanthus]

@@BoorayPerry Oh I've already spent so long building and using custom Film Recipes, to the point where I am going back to a pretty standard set of settings that have my favorite tweaks (+4 color, AWB, etc.) and trying to choose my favorite sim to go with it for my personal style. I love being able to do both with the fujis :)

Fujifilm is the king of the hill regarding colour science! 😊

[@compteprivefr]

Interesting video. I'm born in 84 and I feel like Classic Chrome is part of my "memory color" because I did read old magazines that my parents or grandparents had, and was just exposed to older mediums than kids are today. But lately I've been yearning to re-create more of the 90's magazine look with CMYK halftones and color profiles that you would see in ads and magazine in the 90s and even early 2000s. I'm hoping to be able to recreate this in my fuji pics.

[@BoorayPerry]

If you do, come back and share the settings. :)

Excellent video. I think this is the first video that I've watched that mentions memory color. Very interesting to see the comparisons. I like to use Astia for products because the colors are a little more accurate to me but use Classic Chrome for everything else i.e. pictures of friends/family and street.

Thanks for the insight I found it very interesting seeing the changes - I have just bought my first Fujifilm camera X-S20 and I'm excited to try the various film simulations.

[@esanford]

This was excellent…. It brought back a lot of memories…

[@montycraig5659]

Right now I am on the fence, trying to determine if I keep shooting my XT-3, or go with a Nikon Zf. I mostly shoot film, so I have no long term love relationship with any of the major brands. I bought the Fuji because I liked the film simulations. I had a X Pro1, and then moved to the XT-3. I now find that I am interested in a full frame camera in order to use some different lenses. All that aside, I haven’t settled on any certain film simulation yet with Fuji. How would I go about determining which one is for me?

[@BoorayPerry]

Well, Fuji makes about a dozen and then there are another 100 that are "fan made." :) The only way to do it is to look at the images and decide what you like. Personally, I discovered that I like a little desaturation and nostalgia so I ended up with Classic Chrome.

[@rutlegs]

The flexibility built into my XT4 allows me to bracket with 3 different film sims. CC is always one of them and is usually the one that I end up liking the most.

[@ricknicholson5894]

Memory colour - I love it. I've been in photography since 1974 when I bought my first camera, an SLR Konica T3 and I read anything on photography I could get my hands on, but never a mention of memory colour. I am older than you and like you spent hours and hours pouring through images in Life, Look, National Geographic (no - not for those reasons) etc. From time to time I lived in a town in the Canadian Rockies - Jasper - and due to the fact it was (and is) deep into the Rockies, any technology in communications came late. I can remember the first phones in 1957, there was no tv and radio during the day was limited to the CBC (Canadian version of BBC). My TV time went to looking through all the old magazines fortunately my grandfather collected. I'm sure he looked at them for the same reason I did, it was our TV to the world. And yet my memory colour has not been defined by any of the films available out there but by artwork - particularly the Impressionists both European and Canadian. And with them colour is bright, vivid, and contrasty. So when many lament the colours and films of yore, I don't get it. So I play with contrast, dynamic range and colours in Velvia - that's my colour memories. With the "art" of photography, its about making new memories, not creating old ones. Heck, if we were having a discussion of beers, the old farts would want pilsners and the millenniums - craft beer. The art of photography (to me and for me) is about making craft beers and leave the pilsners to the old guys in the rockers.

[@kristjang.arngrimsson7060]

Being old I grew up on Kodachrome and then when I started working as a photographer we used Ectachrome because it was easier to get it processed. Then came Velvia and just blew our minds with all the colours. But still, I think most fondly of Kodachrome.

[@anthonymara4533]

I remember when I got my very first fuji X system camera, Velvia and Astia were my go to film simulations non stop. Eight years later and a new Fuji in my bag, I've found myself shooting ProNeg Std, or Provia, and Classic Chrome, then going further and masking everything, and making more subtle adjustments. I still occasionally shoot Astia, or Velvia, but almost inevitably I change the film simulation over in post. Love the content.

Hay Booray, thanks for sharing your knowledge of this. I find it very interesting. In the 70’s I lived in South Africa and shot with Agfachrome. Classic Chrome is the nearest Fuji have in their simulations but probably not enough magenta removed. But now, thanks to you, I know how to try to tweak it to my memory colour. What a revelation. Thank you so much. Subbed. I shoot with Nikon Z so will have a play in post and also see if I can set the in-camera adjustments similarly. Otherwise I’m going to HAVE to buy a Fuji!

Regarding image processing, I believe another difference is that Photoshop and the like make changes to the final image pixels, whereas the Fuji in-camera film simulations make adjustments a step earlier than that, i.e. by employing the camera's image processor to make the changes.

Back in ‘89’, when I began to move from Kodachrome to Fujichrome, initałly with the long discontinued 100D, later falling in love with Velvia (50). If my images have no human element (Velvia is not kind to flesh tones), Velvia was my go-to film, otherwise, I shot with Provia. Today, I do the same with my lineup of Fuji cameras, though I do experiment with the other simulations, as well as playing with some recipes from FujiX Weekly.

[@chris5706]

Fascinating thank you

[@miller1520]

Thoroughly inspiring stuff! I am in the process of configuring my newly acquired XT1. Which is proving to be a challenge. And not because of the machine, but because of my own thoughts keep changing on what I want the colors to be. In our minds we already have certain presets, dialed in and we tie those closely to memory. And those memories are uniquely personal in first instance. These may be shared by many but they can each evoke a certain and specific personal emotion. Colors trigger a state of mind that we want to match the scene. And vise versa. The psychology of color, how you describe it is spot on. It shows excellently why setting up for color is very much a process of thought, in first instance. It also shows why, as your memory grows with personal experience, we may well end up preferring different color presets over time. Please consider expanding this video with more of your thoughts on this subject! Why, for example, do some prefer bw? Cheers!!

[@BoorayPerry]

Trust me you do not want me to get started on black and white. If it was up to me I would only shoot black and white 😁📷

[@albertsmith9315]

I really enjoyed your comment about how which ever simulation that you use, it will be "correct" after looking at it for a few minutes. That portrait shot in Provia was jarring after looking at the CC version and adjusting to that rendering. Initially the Provia shot was perfect. I will give Classic Chrome another try. I'm older than you I'd guess, read Life Magazine all through the '60s but the first Fujifilm camera that I got with Classic Chrome was too subdued for my taste. I'll spend some more time on that simulation.

I wonder how Booray thinks about CC vs C.Neg

[@BoorayPerry]

I have started using c neg high for headshots on occasion.

[@grandpascuba]

When it comes to color, film, simulations, the best simulation depends on your application. Overall, I prefer ASTIA. I remember when Fuji first released ASTIA. At the time, my go to film was Ptovia. Fuji claimed that the AST in ASTIA stood for accurate skin tones. It did give me very nice skin tones in the film had an overall soft quality to it that made it the perfect film for the nude studies that were my primary subject of the time. I still prefer it when I am taking photos that are going to have people in them. Especially, if I am in close to them. Otherwise I use Provia or ProNeg High. I tried to like Classic Chrome because the literature said that it was a copy of Kodachrome. But when I used it, I did not think it look anything like Kodachrome. So, I don’t really use it. When it comes to black and white, I really like Fuji’s Acros simulation.

I really like CC, Eterna and Provia. I made 3 custom modes or 'recipies' with them and I like to use them all the time. But I also really like Pro Neg Std and Pro Neg High. For me, i usually want to capture a more realistic look and the Eterna profile makes a great starting point from which to build a recipe to achive that, since its a softer tonality. Colors are great to start with also, very subdued. Pro Neg Std is also very good at that realistic look, but Eterna has a feeling to it that is ever better. At the end of the day, all film simulations look good if properlly tweeked and/or depending on the lighting of the scene.

This is a follow up comment to my initial one of several days ago. I said that I enjoyed your video and that I would go back and reexamine Classic Chrome after not being satisfied with what I perceived as blandness in situations that Provia and Velvia excelled. In particular, your comments about the rendering of the sky was interesting to me and I went out for three straight days shooting scenes that had large areas of sky against town scapes. After 300-plus photos. I found that you were correct, the removal of magenta was clear and the contrast of sky and clouds was a look that I have come to recognize as the Classic Chrome rendering. I also found that exposure compensation of about minus 1/3rd of a stop punches up the colors a bit without turning them overly saturated. I even got a great semi backlit portrait that had one of the most pleasing skin tones...soft and beautiful. Anyhow, because of your video, I'm now getting more satisfying results from my Fujifilm cameras. Thanks! Albert

It seems more realistic than other brands which are beautiful too but dont have the perspective how you really remember how it was with ordinaire prints.

[@morii9651]

classic chrome is also my favorite

[@mikefreelandphoto]

Provia from what I’ve heard is almost always pronounced without stressing the “i”. It is one of Fuji’s color transparency or “slide” film stocks. It’s absolutely designed to be a slightly less saturated slide alternative to velvia with landscapes in mind. I am assuming that would be what they based that original film simulation after. I’m really looking forward to my transition hopefully soon to the Fuji digital system so that I can try the classic chrome myself. I’m at a weird inbetween point where I am shooting film again and seeing it differently than I did growing up. There’s just so much information out there now for us to see it all differently and I find it mesmerizing to dive into. I love your channel man thanks for sharing such enjoyable content.🤘

I hope no one I know reads this.

[@BoorayPerry]

I keep all my settings on default. I find that my attempts to do a better job than the Fuji engineers fall short. :)

@@BoorayPerry interesting. thanks

[@videosound20]

wow!

EyE takes advantage of Fujifilm’s uniquely useful Simulation bracketing mode much of the time..... Chrome/Privia/B&W combo for example, and decide when I get home which treatment fits each. When I shoot single shots, tho, I usually stick to Chrome (could use a little less oranging of the reds, but that would likely have a corresponding negative effect elsewhere on the palette).

P.S. -Color Memory, Yes..... I’m 72, been shooting for 50 odd years or so)

Hello, can you give me the settings for the Classic Chrome please ? I erase all the natives settings of my fuji X1OOv and I dont found the perfect original settings for classic chrome ! Thanks a lot have a good day

[@leafsfan71]

Love this video. Thank you! Do you like Classic Chrome for brown and dark skin tones? Standard turns the skin red and looks awful.

Hi, Very very interesting! I just have one question: If you shoot in RAW, all those film simulation are useless, isn't it? So do YOU shoot more often in Jpeg, or in RAW?... and why?

[@BoorayPerry]

I shoot in RAW with my professional work and in JPG with my daily fun stuff. If you shoot RAW with a film simulation that will be applied automatically when you import saving you the step. I shoot JPG with my daily stuff because I don't want to spend a lot of time post-processing daily life. :)

@@BoorayPerry The film simulation that is "applied automatically" to RAW in Capture One, is made by Capture One as their approximation to Fujifilms original film simulations, I believe, isn't it? I have picked up such information from other videos. This means that one will never get the exactly correct Fujifilm film simulation applied to RAW. Personally, I am using ON1 Photo Raw, which has their versions of these film simulations, and they look a bit incorrect.

[@BoorayPerry]

@@viktorpaulsen627 Capture 1 shows all the Fuji sims and whichever one you shoot in is automatically selected. That would lead me to believe that those are official Fuji sets. I'll have to put it to the test and shoot in JPEG and raw and compare
