Michael Hiles Posted December 5, 2011 Share #2 Â Posted December 5, 2011 I like your pictures of your "daft" cat. Â When you scanned your XP2 film, did you scan as Colour Negative input and Colour output? There is a colour cast that is reminiscent of "colour" output from B&W film.

Â No, I had the negs scanned in the lab and just lifted the lo-res images from the CD and posted them here. Â There is a slight colour cast on the prints (there always is) but it's slightly green although I can see a pink tinge in these two above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hiles Posted December 6, 2011 Share #4 Â Posted December 6, 2011 Your lab may be printing your XP2 negatives onto colour paper, which often gives a color cast. This is a very common practice because this is done in a machine. Also, often the machines are calibrated for the Kodak C41 film with its orange mask, and XP2's gray base is harder to handle. Printing on genuine B&W paper is now quite rare except in specialized high-end labs. Â Your image management software should allow you to remove the colour channels from the scans, if you are interested. Â But the cat is a cutie.

Twotone Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share #9  Posted December 9, 2011 What a cutie! He/she looks like a mischievous .  Thanks. She is completely off her head, I've lived with cats for nearly my entire life and Cleo is without doubt the most 'unique' of all those cats.  She is a fantastic hunter and often leaves us 'presents' at the back door, sometimes she tries to bring her prey into the house but my wife is not best pleased when that happens  Curiously she eats the heads of the mice that she catches:eek: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
