I'm also loving Velvia, though I'm not really used to it yet.

correcting a scan that's already hosed up (which this thread seems to constantly do) is much more challenging than actually processing and scanning your film correctly the shots posted recently by many different posters all have some serious hosed up blues.

I'm not a fan of the cast I got with it but I've always liked the color I've seen from Velvia, the really fine grain is nice too but I suppose it's no different from Ektachrome. I had always heard Velvia saturated colors a lot more than other slide films so I'm surprised it has a weird pastel look even if I overexposed it. The lab I use has been making really weird mistakes lately but I would assume it's my fault and nothing they did.

IIRC from reading apug.org, slide film is more sensitive to blue so you pretty much always need to be using a warming filter unless you're shooting in clear daylight. Any bit of shade or shadows and you're getting a blue cast. I think it's designed to offset the slightly yellow tint given off by slide projector bulbs.

I would've assumed though that the manufacturers wouldn't really expect anyone to actually be using projectors any more though.

Portra (negative film of course, not slide) is designed for a hybrid-digital workflow first and foremost. I don't know if Fuji is really that proactive about re-engineering their film stocks/developing new film stocks like Kodak though. There is the RDP III generation but I think that also might have been about removing toxic materials from production, I'm not sure it made it much warmer. Fuji is really a pretty badly managed company that doesn't seem to want to be in the film business anymore. I am convinced a lot of the "surprise" discontinuations of films are because they made a bunch of master rolls 10 years ago and just have them in cold storage and are slitting them up and when they're gone oops, that was the last of it! And they are especially bad about communicating this outside Fuji Japan and particularly to the western world. But hey I guess they made Acros II. How is it, anyway? Still have crazy reciprocity failure and super fine grain? Any notable changes in behavior otherwise?

My brother decided to buy me a 10-pack of Fuji C200 for my birthday off of amazon. I've shot off at least one roll of it and I can confirm that it's not engineered for hybrid work. I did all the shooting outside when I took one of the rolls to Boston with me a couple months ago and depending on how the light is, it requires some balancing work in Lightroom to compensate. I didn't touch temp or tint on these so you can see:

I'm letting the scanning software do inversion and cast removal (I have an epson v370). I should say these pics I didn't do anything extra to them with tint and temp outside of what the software decided to do.

Clearly the most correct solution is to code your website to only send plain black squares to anyone with the poor taste to view it on anything but an Eizo Coloredge or maybe a Viewsonic VP-series.ansel autisms posted:prints are an important final step in the photographic process Blind print exchanges were the first photographic social media.

Ok, so I had a look at colour calibration tools are nowhere near as expensive as last time I checked, so it's not as silly a suggestion as I initially thought. I'm still fairly confident that my monitor is close enough that it wont make a big enough difference (for me).

Because I'm playing with printing right now I got a second-hand x-rite colormunki photo for monitor calibration and printer profiling. Currently calibrating my first paper type, just calibrated my monitor and while it was already close it did actually make a fairly big difference. My monitor was too bright and slightly over-saturated, which matched the corrections I was having to make on my prints to get them looking right.

My home and work monitors are both calibrated but I still won't usually do much editing to my scans unless I actually plan on doing something with them besides posting online. Turning a hobby into work sounds like a good way to kill any fun.

The enjoyment one gets from the act of taking a photograph is far different from the act of editing a photo. It's not hard to imagine some people enjoy one but not the other. Like, people might enjoy writing a story but hate editing, or enjoy painting a scene but hate mixing paints and cleaning brushes etc. You don't have to enjoy every aspect of a hobby to enjoy the hobby.
