Another experiment with home chemistry and color film development. Film Kodak Gold 200 Compared bleaches on Fe(III)EDTA and on Potassium Ferricyanide. Tank rotation speed - 75 rpm. Scanner: Epson Perfection 3170 Photo Developer - recipe post # 54 C-42 is Kodak's home-version of C-41? Bleach...

Here are a few more photos that I took from homemade chemistry. Camera AGFA Billy Record II (120 Roll Film - 6x9 cm pictures). https://photos.app.goo.gl/MFQqMXPkqX3zkX3j9 The weather in Moscow is bad, everything is gray and dreary))

Thank you for sharing your experience!

Yes, of course-only distilled water! I understand about the STARTER, thank you! I will inform you about the results ))

Another question: Do you need to use a STARTER for the developer or not? If necessary, what is the chemical composition of the starter? Thank!

Thanks again!

Hello! I want to try a developer with your formula. You can answer me: 1) The pH of this developer? 2) shelf life? 3) replace sodium bromide with potassium bromide ??? Thanks in advance!

Continuation of my post No. 86 (Sorry for my English - Google translate is my assistant ) The first time I photographed the film with my smartphone - the results were disgusting! I thought my bleaches were not working well. Not - it's mysmartphone that distorts the colors on the film. After...

Hello! Thanks for answering! Sorry for my English (Google translator helps). I don't even doubt your developer's recipe. I doubt my bleach and fixer. I made a color film developing machine. The mixing process takes place constantly. Temperature 38°С is maintained by the temperature controller...

Thank you Donald Qualls! I used VueScan and and the result is better. I understood what to strive for! It is necessary to remove the orange backing. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k_V1itzh1gv1CgYkRZ24_5la4uIJMhUM/view?usp=sharing...

To everyone who answered - Thank you very much! I will be trying different developers, fixers, and bleaches.

Thank you for your answer!!! I didn't know about the orange mask! I will try it in GIMP.

Hello! I tried your recipe. I took the bleach and fixer from the book: PCS_Darkroom_Formulary.pdf (page 27-28) But, I did 500 ml of bleach and fixer. I took boiled water. Stop Bath: Acetic acid + water = 2% solution Acetic acid Bleach: Potassium nitrate - 12.5 g Potassium ferricyanide...

This is what I needed to know! Thank you! 4-5 years is not a short period. Thank you! Have you tried replacing Formaldehyde with Hexamine (or Urotropine)? Unicolor uses Hexamine (urotropine).

Buy Formaldehyde 37% and Photo Flo - it's no problem. Photo Flo shelf life is very long. But, Formaldehyde shelf life is 3 months. Can anyone tell me how long he keeps his Formaldehyde? I can't buy a new formaldehyde every 3 months.
