What I do, when I'm working fast, is to set the b/w points of each channel to just-before-clipping values and then on a curves layer I use the midtone sampler to sample a gray area which takes care of any huge left over colour casts. The quick and dirty method.

I did that for a long time too, but scenes without an obvious gray area drove me nuts. It was also hard to get a balance between multiple shots in the same scene.

Click on "show clipping" and get faster at using alt 3/4/5, it takes me about 30 seconds per image to get in roughly good shape. Why even bother with an invert layer? Cmd+i.

For the Canadian folks out there, Princess Auto has two packs of 60ml syringes for $2.99. Should be good for mixing film chemistry.

I'm shooting some medium format next weekend and have Portra 400 on order. Am I missing anything as far as push/pulling? From my understanding I would set my light meter for ISO 200 and then expose for the shadows of my frame, correct? Then I write Pull +1 (or -1?) on the development envelope? I'm going to be shooting portraits so I'll be wanting the pastel/washed out kind of look. Would this be the correct way of going about things?

Don't know what you're shooting on but don't forget to change the ISO on the film back, body etc.

Would one stop underexposure on P400 actually do much? That film is crazy.

I have no knowledge about it besides Is Camera and Takes Pictures. Quantum of Phallus posted:Would one stop underexposure on P400 actually do much? That film is crazy. That was the other question, should I even bother or should I just have fun and shoot it at ISO 400?

I can post some examples once I get to a computer, but I just had a roll developed this weekend that I shot anywhere from 1 to 3 stops underexposed. Every shot turned out more or less OK developed at speed.

Thoogsby posted:Short answer: No These were 35mm, Portra 400 on an Olympus OM-10 and stock 50/1.8. Let the camera meter outdoors, probably f5.6 and still pushed to 1/1k. This honestly came out overexposed a bit. It's the only one of these three I adjusted exposure in post.  Grammy by Matt Philpott, on Flickr Shot at 1/60, f2.8 with the camera metering 1/15 (so two stops under).

I have one of those, its not great, but it does the job. $1600 is crazy, considering you could build it yourself with parts from online Chinese retailers like banggood for not much.

If it's not too contrasty maybe but why? Maybe bracket a few and see if +1 stops alone works, it can be pretty dramatic.

Just not exactly sure what needs to happen to get that ideal Portra 400 look. Is the answer to shoot Portra 400?

Yeah, pretty much. I doubt most of the photos you see are overexposed.

If you post an example of the type of Portra 400 look you're talking about I'm sure someone could give you a fairly accurate answer to your question, there's no shortage of portra 400 users in this thread.

I tend to overexpose my photos by just a hair anyway so maybe I'll just do that. Also locally its gonna cost me nearly $20 per roll to develop and scan which holy poo poo. I may just shoot one roll if that is the case.

If you're in the NY/NJ area I have an epson 4490 that I was going to throw on CL for $25 or so - I'd trade you for a few rolls of film. It worked decently enough for MF.

Which also I should've specified, I included the cost of the roll in that estimate. So this would be more pricey.

BANME.sh posted:I found a new way to process negatives that takes a lot of the guesswork out of it (for me at least). It's essentially the same concept as the video in the OP, but there's a slightly different approach to get there. I'll outline the method here and I'm curious for you guys to try it out. It works amazingly for me. I do recommend inverting first and then sampling the orange base as black, though.

Want to make sure before I waste money on film and stuff to try it. My Canonese is rusty, but I think this just means that the camera is in full manual mode and Canon wants to remind you of the fact. Press Mode and it should go away - you should be able to switch between the different automatic and priority modes from there.

M mode is weird on these - it's doing this because you're in TV actually and have the lens not on A (that's how you set it to M ) - if you put the lens aperture ring back on A, you'll be in TV mode If you leave the lens on a manual aperture and hit mode+up youll be in AV If you put the lens on A and hit mode + up you'll be in P
