written by pepper-b on 2011-02-02 #gear #tutorials

written by pepper-b on 2011-02-04 #gear #tutorials
After I started to develop black and white film, I really wanted to know if it was possible to do the same with color negatives, but the guys at the lab told me: “color film processing is different…you need to get the right temperatures, find the right chemistry, and the chemistry will expire fast, the lab is cheaper and reliable, you'll waste your money and time...” But I was decided!

However, I think that scans should be as honest as possible and they should not be enhanced by digital color filters. Be honest.
