If so I see your point and totally agree.
I'm just not sure how helpful this is if the results both look rather unpleasant because the scanner settings are unsuitable for the films.
For example, dump the old scanner, get a new scanner in, repeat the experiment.
Yes, there is no way around interpreting the negative. You have to do it when you print and when you scan.
And there is no point in using standardised inversion with same parameters.
If you're trying to invert simultaneously such different film material as the ones above, sure.
sure I can now say, one film is green relative to the other, but this helps very little - which of the two is the "true" film color, the one with the green shadows or the one with the magenta shadows?
pretty much every film material is different, so the problem remains the same, it's just much less obvious.
even with the same film material, if it's old or has been processed at different days, you might for example have a green color cast in one of the film (or a magenta cast in the other, depending how you look at it).
Disagree, in general. Starting with standardisation is always good, and the only real way forward when attempting to do a controlled test like what OP is doing.
the orange mask on C41 film is partly density-dependent on two out of the three dye colors
This is interesting. Can you explain this a bit more? Is this by design or incidental? Are there any tests that demonstrate the effect?
Thank you. Are there any books, patents or papers that describe the variable mask in detail?The mask is designed to correct the imperfections - it varies with the density of each dye.
Thank you. Are there any books, patents or papers that describe the variable mask in detail?
I'm trying to think if I can of something that organizes and collects that.
I use TiddlyWiki.
