Hi all,

So I am trying to create masks for my C41 negatives. All the sources and posts I am reading suggesting that I should calibrate my enlarger head to 5000K, which is 95C 60Y in my case.

However some people says, I should also adjust filtration to cancel orange mask (which I assume I need to turn more cyan and magenta) however Ctein does not mention that at all, which is the only printed source I have at the moment.

I am trying to create unsharp masks and contrast reduction masks.

So what is your recommendation?

Many thanks,
Fatih
