What do you guys do with color negatives? I just got some results and it's bad...

Temperature for color development can be easily maintained with a Jobo CPP2 processor. Color balance can be adjusted using viewing filters, Kodak Color Handbook, or a color analyzer. We can still help you spend money.

Color negatives, B/W and slides can all be viewed on a FotoVix. I bought one for 1500 yen (12 usd)
Keepers I print at a rental darkroom every 3 months roughly. B/W and color negatives.
Slides you have to get scanned. I sometimes even like to scan my wet prints.

Slides for me is preatty much for ... slide projection. So yes we would scan it, but the primary purpose to project them.
I was lucky to have a leitz with colorplan and the images we see at home is priceless. Amazing colors, saturation.
I can project those in 5 meter distance without any detoration on image quality.
Amazing to see slide projection compared to any digital projection.

For C41, I am doing it at home.
I do not have JOBO automatic gadget, it is only about the kettle and a temperature meter more or less.
More damage I make with my shaky hand and fuzzy exposure settings than with the so called inconsistency of manual processing.

so ... go for it ... a 5 liter Tetenal c41 lasts a bit longer than a year for me having mixed a liter working solution at the time.

I have forgot lab processing pretty soon having a heartattack due to the damage they have done for my films that they contrary called as "development".
Only for E6 I am sending it to outfit that is doing manual processing of it and I am satisfied with the results. Also the amount of slides I do is incompatible with the self life of the working solution of the e6 devs.

Haven't tried E6 yet. I develop and scan my C-41 at home. I quite enjoy it. i don't have the Jobo processor but, like sagai, kettle and thermometer do the job for me.

1. Where are you located? Please put it in your profile so that we can direct you to stores, repair people, film processors, ...
2. I keep the negatives in PrintFile sheets http://www.freestylephoto.biz/22201...hival-35mm-Verticle-Slide-Preservers-Top-Load & http://www.freestylephoto.biz/35625-Printfile-35-6HB-Archival-Negative-Preservers-35mm-6-Strips-of-6
3. For 35mm I get my C-41 processed at Costco. For 120 I get my C-41 processed at Samys in Culver City http://www.samys.com/g/Store-Locations-and-Directions/2220.html
4. If I am shooting 4"x5" film or I have a lot of C-41 I process it myself.
5. Printing: 35mm Costco or Samys. 120 Samys or I print it myself.

Which Costco do you get your 35mm developed at?

The one at Marina del Rey no longer processes 35mm film. When I posted that on AUG a couple of weeks ago, someone responded and said that the one in Hawthorne still does. I have not been there recently.
