The colours look particularly rich and yet the skin tones are as they should be. It makes me wonder why anyone would want more saturation, risking skin tone as films which give such saturation often do.
Thanks, people.This is why I'm in love with film photography today. Portra (and at times, Ektar) seem to have a way with color that I just can't get otherwise.I use an "impure" workflow where I have these commercially developed and scanned, then do whatever minor adjustments are needed in PS. Even at the relatively low resolution of the cheapo scan I used, the color depth is just exceptional. I've played around with countless PS plugins and conversion processes, but I can never get "the look" from photos that start out as digital. I don't know if its what I hear called the "medium format look", or the film, or something else, but these photos just seem to have bucket fulls of "it" that I can't get from digital. I wish there was a way I could show you what the print looks like. Its so much better than what you can see on a monitor.Regards,Jeff
