Kodak Magenta Chrome
by Luke Taylor · lukeptaylor.com
View original postThe only known GR recipe built on CTE white balance, which amplifies the scene's own cast instead of correcting it - here pushed A12 into magenta warmth. Flat contrast with lifted shadows and rolled-off highlights makes it read like expired slide film.
- White Balance
- CTE A12 G0
- Highlight DR
- On
- Shadow DR
- Auto
- Peripheral Illum.
- On
- Noise Reduction
- Low
- ISO
- ISO Auto up to 6400
The ISO here is the author's suggested Auto-ISO ceiling - noise at high ISO reads as film grain, so it's part of the look, not just exposure.
From the creator
Luke runs exposure compensation between 0 and +1/3 on this one.
Camera compatibility
Originally created for the GR III - popular on the GR IV too. Every value dials straight in; the presets and settings are identical across bodies. The GR IV's newer sensor renders a touch warmer and brighter, so treat this as a starting point, not a guaranteed match; if it looks too warm, a small white-balance nudge toward blue brings it closer.
