What are you wearing today??

[repeatclicks]

Here is another one of my attempts to recreate that Kodachrome look...

You must be confused... Kodachrome was a very, very fine grain (think 50 ISO) color transparency film that yielded an incredibly detailed, colour rich and colour accurate image. There was almost zero grain to the transparencies and the results are nothing short of stunning.

You can still get transparency film in the form of Fuji Velvia, but the colours are heavily blown out, causing most to refer to the film as 'Disneychrome.' Still a great film though.

The images below are genuine 1940s Kodachromes, and you can see the difference.

I thought I would commemorate its last outing before I retire it. It's almost too fragile to be worn.

Such a shame when you have to do that- looks stunning on too

I've tried to duplicate the Kodachrome look in Photoshop and came fairly close. Try this:

Image>Adjustments>Photo Filter>Warming Filter (you may need to do this 2 or even 3 times but it will warm up the tones)

Next, bump up the saturation a bit, and lastly give it a little more contrast.

You can play around with some other options too, but the warming filter should really help.

Kodachrome color is REALLY saturated.

I'd like to see this one again with a bit of cropping on each side and and top of the foreground of this pic my dear.
