About Classic Chrome

Classic Chrome was Fujifilm's first 'mood' simulation, added on the X30 in 2014 and quickly adopted by reportage and travel photographers. It pulls saturation noticeably below Provia, biases the green channel cooler, and lifts shadows slightly so blacks render as deep charcoal rather than crushed. It is the foundation of dozens of community recipes, Reggie's Portra, Kodachrome 64, Pacific Blues and Kodak Portra 400 v2 all start here, because its desaturated baseline gives you the most room to push individual colours with the JPEG controls.
