How to Duplicating Fuji Chrome Film look with RAW images

Does anyone know how to duplicate the effect in Photoshop CS with their RAW plugin?

Take two identical shots of the kind of image you loved with chrome. One in Chrome JPG mode, one in raw mode. You will now have a reference for comparison.

Open the Chrome image and leave it open in the background (fairly small - it's the general colour balance you want to see, not the detail). Open the raw image with CS's ACR plugin, again in a smallish window, so you can see the Chrome image in the background.

Now get to work fiddling with ACR's sliders - I'd guess the ones you'd be using would be mainly saturation and contrast, but you may also want to wind up the greens in the Calibrate tab. When the image looks about like the Chrome one in the background, just have a look at the clipping points and make sure you haven't blown the highlights or clipped shadows to black (all too easy to do with the contrast slider!) You check the clipping points by option-clicking on the exposure (highlights) and shadows (shadows!) sliders. You're aiming to see just this side of nothing on each one (apart from specular highlights, which will be blown to hell anyway).

If the clip points are OK, save the settings as something descriptive like "Raw to Chrome", and bingo, they'll be there for you next time.

PS I always find the Fuji underdoes the shadows in raw mode, and I wind up shadows to 30% instead of default 5% without too many ill-effects. Gives a nice contrasty pic without the dangers of using the contrast slider. Just up the exposure a notch or two if it gets too dark (always watching the clipping point).

Original was quite flat; the shadows slider in particular brought out much more of the tabbiness she really has in that fur! I could have gone further on the saturation, but this is realistic - she has pale green eyes.
