erl Posted June 13, 2016 Share #17025 Posted June 13, 2016 Dirk, I am curious about your Ferrari pics. Yes the red is bright and rich, but there is a crossover of Cyan in all the background. I am inclined to blame the Ektar for that, at least in part, but processing could also be the culprit. Did you process yourself and if so what details can you offer? Or was the film commercially processed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
too old to care Posted June 13, 2016 Share #17026 Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! My first post in this section. I've recently returned to photography as a hobby, mostly because my golf game is so bad. Anyway, this is why I like film. This is my rescue pup, some kind of a terrier mix. When Kodak stopped making Plus-X I thought my world had ended. I loved that film, but recently discovered Ilford FP4 Plus 125. Outside of it being thin, and harder to handle, it seems to have the same properties as Plus-x. While away for a few years I also discovered my scanner died, so this scan is from a flatbed scanner of questionable quality. Still, I love the look of film, almost magical. I hope you do too. By the way, her name is Mollie, a real sweetie. Edited June 13, 2016 by too old to care 9 Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

erl Posted June 14, 2016 Share #17036 Posted June 14, 2016 I noticed that too. As I don't have much experience with color film I wasn't sure if this is normal or not. I got it commercially processed. Dirk, the other thing to consider is the scanning. I forgot to mention that. That can also cause crossover colour casts. IMO, Ektar is a difficult film from many aspects. I now avoid it. Saturated effects of Ektar can be achieved with 'easier' films, like Portra and then saturated in post. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jip Posted June 14, 2016 Share #17037 Posted June 14, 2016 Exactly what I do Erl, I use Portra 160 or 400 or FP4+ thats all I use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Erl, thanks for your answer. I used my Nikon Coolscan 5000 scanner and Silverfast for the scanning. I know that a lot of people don't like Silverfast but as far as I understood it is more because of handling and not in terms of quality. Silverfast gives me the option to pre-select a specific film for the scanning but I didn't do that. I'll try the Portra as well but I still have a few rolls of Ektar now. :-) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted June 14, 2016 Share #17039 Posted June 14, 2016 I dont find Ektar to be particularly difficult in landscapes/cityscapes. I dont really understand the logic of using portra as a crutch to get the look of ektar There are scenes for portra and there are scenes for ektar 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkR440 Posted June 14, 2016 Share #17040 Posted June 14, 2016 I've tried now to correct the colors a bit with Lightroom. What do you think about that?
