These are amazing, @Andrew Keedle, especially the large format 7x17" bluebells.Some of my images I've made over the last year. I've really enjoyed exploring and experimenting with the process. It's fascinating how it works and how you can use the technique to create images that are not picture postcards (but you can do that also). I would recommend to anyone playing with it for a while and see what happens. I've learnt so much about my photography doing this. Ask me any questions about this and feel free to critique these images if you like.
But lining them up, my dear Mr. Dugnutt?
Aligning the three film channels accurately would be nigh on impossible, right?
Even if you include three or more sync marks at the edge of the frame in tack sharp focus, it could still be a huge problem.
Early three strip Technicolor got around it with sprocket holes and not really giving a huge fuck.
A tentacle has four suckers, not much to discuss there.
Would it be at all possible to darkroom print these?
But how did you register the three negatives accurately?It's not that hard. See post #13 (https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/color-images-from-b-w-film.174977/#post-2278099). The photo in the post was printed in a darkroom.
Anyone who has done three colour carbon or even used a fair bit of masking in the darkroom will know that registration is certainly possible, even if one is doing so by eye.
Wonderful !!Nikon FM2n, AI Nikkor 50mm f/1.8S, Kentmere Pan 400, developed in LegacyPro L110 at 1:31 for 5.5 minutes. Three individual black and white frames shot through Tiffen #25 Red, #58 Green, and #47 Blue filters, respectively, then combined using GIMP to create a trichrome color image.

Thank you, @falotico!Wonderful !!
Beautiful!!!Epiphyllum oxypetalum. Normally, the flower blooms at night and wilts by morning, but this one endured long enough for me to take a few daylight photos. Since I mainly use B&W, I took full advantage to make a trichrome color image.

While I do have a colour enlarger, I don't have the paper and chemicals to print colour.
There is something special about the colour achieved with this method.
