Re: So I'm going to start doing some film testing..

Before you can really do any meaningful testing you need to know what it is that you want to do with your negs. If you want to scan them and show them on the internet and possibly do ink-jet prints then, as already suggested, there is a lesser requirement for precision (perhaps). If you want to prin...

Re: Newtown Town Hall

Alastair, Based on the cop of the bottom and the upward orientation of the camera illustrated by convergence on left and right vertical edges of thew structure, I'd suggest that perhaps the camera shifted as you inserted the film holder. Are you using the lifting bail to open the camera back to acce...

Re: Newtown Town Hall

Alastair, I am not quite sure of what happens with scans in Lightroom, but in Photoshop I first go into Hue/Saturation (Command-U) and reduce the Saturation slider to -100. This gets rid of any cast from the scanner and then I apply any toning I want after that. It may be that there was a lot of blu...

Alastair,

You use whatever system you choose but I'd just say that I had a look at the link that you provided and find that his method is almost just empirical testing. You are probably already achieving such indicators in the work that you produce.

Re: So I'm going to start doing some film testing..

Re: So I'm going to start doing some film testing..

Alastair, Where did you get your proposed method from? It sounds a bit dodgey to me. For film testing that means something you need an 18% grey card, sunlight and the meter you wish to standardise on. I'd recommend choosing a film and developer combination based on whatever selection data you are mo...
