Hi guys I am currently working on a project which requires me to set up a home studio with limited lighting options available to me. I am shooting Kodak Portra 160 (a daylight balanced film) and using two LED spotlights as my sole lighting source which have a warm temperature of 2700K (linked...

Yes I'll show some examples further down the line - will probably be asking for help again no doubt!

Yes I have an enlarger with a dichroic head so I'll try that - hadn't even thought of that. Thanks for all your help!

Hi Drew thanks for the reply and all the info! I should have mentioned my idea is to use B&W digital negatives. I want to create three RGB separations from a colour digital image using photoshop to then print onto transparency film, layer them and filter through the RGB filters in the darkroom...

Thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned that I am hoping to use digital negatives. I want to create three RGB separations from a digital image using photoshop to then print onto transparency film, layer them and filter through the RGB filters in the darkroom.

Hi everyone, I have recently been researching tri-colour additive printing and have discovered that it is possible to make colour prints with 3 x black and white negatives using this method. I’ve been looking into the appropriate red, green & blue filters and have found some tricolour filters...

Great that's all really helpful thank-you so much! I didn't think to use a piece of clear film but that makes sense, I'll try that. Thanks again. Well you see the roll was fairly cheap to start with, only €34 so I decided I'd risk it...my work is experimental anyways. It was much cheaper than...

The whites look pretty white.... I've been using Bellini chemistry, freshly mixed not replenished at roughly 35C for 30 secs in a small film processing tank.

Hmm.. my unexposed areas are coming out fairly white. I've been trying to print without a neg through the enlarger and can't get past red tones at all it just insists on printing red (see photo below). I did try printing through a neg and it's significantly better..starting to shift green but...

Thanks for the help everyone. So I decided to risk it and test the paper in the darkroom after unravelling the outer layers (my work is experimental anyways so I thought I could still get something from it). The results are very, very magenta/orange casts to the prints no matter how much I...

Hi guys, I just bought a roll of 5" Fujifilm Crystal Archive from Amazon to print with in the darkroom. To my dismay, I opened the box today to discover it without any light-proof packaging at all meaning its been entirely exposed to light (see images attached). I spoke to a friend of mine that...

Nikon FE2 AI tab stuck - please help Hi all, when using my Nikon fe2 I’ve discovered I can’t move the aperture past F. 2.8 because the ai tab won’t move. It’s completely stuck. Any idea on how to fix this? Think it could be some debris that’s made it jammed. Currently backpacking in Vietnam and...
