Better Fuji Photos Episode 41: Tips for Using Fujifilm's Color Chrome Effect
Fujifilm's camera manuals leave much to be desired when discussing Color Chrome Effect and Color Chrome FX Blue. What exactly do they do? When would you use them? And how?
Color Chrome Effect settings (which may or may not be found on certain cameras) help you avoid oversaturating specific colors by decreasing the luminance of those colors, effectively giving you a wider range of tones in colors close to oversaturation. This can really help photographers photographing for in-camera JPEGs. They will not affect the RAW file.
When using these settings:
- Remember that they will respond differently to each film simulation
- A setting that looks good for one film simulation might look like garbage in another
- The Color Chrome FX Blue setting works great as an "artificial polarizer" to get the same effect with skies
- You can preview setting effects either from the Image Quality menu or programming them to the Q Menu (ep. 31)
