About this pack
This is everything Chrome Film makes on the light-box side of the story, before the prints faded. The vivid slides for land and travel with greens and blues deep; the neutral reportage looks with no cast; the documentary portraits with blacks open and skin natural; and the muted chrome from a gentle desaturation to the hard city mute where only one red survives. All one hundred keep their blacks dense. It is the library for street, travel and documentary photographers who want density rather than nostalgia, and it nests three systems. A hundred presets with a printed map of line, scene and strength so the library is a tool, not a pile. XMP for Lightroom Classic and desktop, DNG for the free Lightroom mobile app, with the same handling of blacks and reds throughout. Chrome Film is for photographs that belong on a light box or in an album, never on a screen.
- No fade in any of the hundred

Street, travel and documentary photographers who have chosen chrome as their colour.

Chrome Film is the transparency on the light box and the print it turned into thirty years later. Slide film had dense blacks, reds that held, cool shadows and colour that was either vivid or muted but never soft. The dialect is documentary, reportage, the projector, the slide tray, the seventies road trip, the magazine page, and then the album where those pictures faded: milky blacks, a colour shift, dust. Every pack says which end of that story it belongs to and what it does to blacks, reds and shadows that a colour negative would not.
Every pack here is its own product with its own page, so you buy the one look you need, and a larger pack or the family collection is always one step up from it.
