The Sayings of Wotan

TruChrome

For some background about my second generation of recipes, see Real Color.

I mean for Truchrome to complement the aforementioned Real Color. It is an undersaturated recipe using the Classic Chrome (slide film-like) simulation built-in to reasonably new Fujifilm cameras. My goal is to have a recipe that produces realistic colors where the overall setting or subject needs a more subdued palette or the inherently retro look of Classic Chrome.

As discussed in the Fujifilm Recipes landing page, sometimes I’m able to boost the contrast by manipulating the highlights and shadows. Here are some examples of these changes:
