[Andreas Thaler]

Yes 5 x 7 can be processed.

Lukas is even working on a 8 x 10 option:

und 13x18? same same, but different..

 

[Filmomat]

Hi Chris, there is a combined tank for 5x7" and 13x18cm. The tank is built to fit for both formats.

How did you store the films?

I got a box of surplus cheap cameras that came with a free roll of film. They've probably been kicked around warehouses for the past decade or two. Who knows what temperatures they were exposed to.

And I do worry if I could still use a batch of colorfilms stored in the frigo which have been expired two years ago ;-)

A lot can be fixed working hybrid. My workflow:

• Nikon Coolscan 5000 ED
• VueScan
• "Raw scans"
• converting with ColorPerfect
• Adobe Camera Raw (as filter in Photoshop CC)
  
• further refinement/retouching in Photoshop CC
• preferring scripts provided by PixelGenius

So I bypass the scanner software.

But this is OT ;-)

I thought VueScan permits saving in .DNG format, which then allows true RAW editing in ACR?

This photo was unsaveble. Wrecked SOC. However my scanning rig compensates for a lot of issues. I DSLR scan RAW and with a mashup of Lightroom and Photoshop I get decent balanced shots no matter how far gone the film is. This film however I chalked up to being artistic.

As said above: off topic

Yes we've moved from a new film processor to "in-depth" hybrid on the analogue forum.

C-41: How do you handle stabilizing your colorfilms? In the tank, out of the tank, film on reel or off? It is Said that the stabilizing bath may harm plastic parts.

Don't do the photoflo trick. I was told to do it a while back and since then I've found out it's not a good idea. I've stabbed over 100 rolls in my tank and no issues yet. Reels are fine too.

Thanks I was not sure about this. The stab is needed to make the films durable. Cleaning the reels with hot water after contact with the stab is recommended.

Suddenly I seem to have developed a severe case of GAS!

This weekend I will process two colorfilms. Ideal for a busy office worker like me - shooting on weekend, developing on Sunday, scanning and editing the following days in the evening. No extra miles to the lab and back, full control and better results.
