My suggestion would be to try a roll yourself and let us know here what you think. My general feeling is that you don't get the drift into blue/green that you got with the old Ektachrome. Some liked it, I never did. I think the color drift is much better than Velvia and there isn't that oversaturated look. I am, however, interested in hearing your view. My "kibbitzing" with Adam on his pushing is just having some fun, since I know he loves to do that type of thing as well as take long exposures, which, btw, you don't have to adjust for a drift with Ektachrome.

I can in Capture One adjust the color curves to get a different, less pastel look, but this is what I like about Ektachrome -- and yes it would be better at 400 and with the latitude of portra, but then it wouldn't have the positive aspects of a transparency (including the cleaner scanning).

Everything else aside, it is kind of disorienting in the fact that the boulders, such they are, can appear as a macro shot of pebbles; the tree a dried up weed. It could not be any better. Thanks, Wayne 12 hours ago, A miller said: Thanks, Cailn. I am known to some as the "hamburglar" Very cool effect, Joerg. An outside of the box idea that works very well. Very cool, Rog, and I think I see some Northern Lights packed in there, too. I just tear at the thought of scraping my teeth agains the sandy texture of this image! 🤐 Gorgeous, Phil. Kudos for the effort in digging this up and bringing it back to life. There are so many things to love about this image. But for me it is the depth of the shadow detail and then the peak of the (controlled) highlights in the tree branches. That range is really brilliant. I will go against the grain here and say that wet print may not be the holy grail. I think the deep blacks and transition between tones is very much a function of what paper you use and printer. A really good quality paper, such as an Ilford baryta paper, and a light jet printer such as an Ice or Dursta would replicate those coveted qualities of a wet print but also achieve the additional detail that as scanner is able to extract out of the negative. Sure, it may not have that same exact physical feel as a wet print. But unless we are going to get lap dances and fondle our prints rather than putting them under glass and on a wall that really isn't going to be a differentiator - at least for me. Having said this, I am sure the wet print s sublime.

Thanks, glad to know I am in good company I agree with Gary. You show such great B&W portraits and then throw in some great color for a refreshing change pace; not that any refreshing is needed - you know what I mean OY!!!!!!!!!!!! Really! I don't plop the pics in a slide projector, but I do think the transfer likely take some luminosity away that perhaps isn't gone with, for example, a print. And I am open, very open, to hear what others think and their experience. I am hardly putting my thoughts out there as a last word on the subject but, instead, as a first word so we can all explore the results in this corner of the forum as people post Ektachrome. As for the the portra, it is just my opinion about the film, not your shots, and the pics of the family are beautiful and I am not even sure Ektachrome is better for a portrait. All about exploring and I certainly welcome to own opinion that I am growing a weary of the pastel look of Portra. It is not an indictment of the film, or people's use, our spaceman got a great portrait a few posts ago. I am just looking for a different look rather creating it in PP. Nothing more complicated than that. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve I know this subject very well as I practice and read in many articles Photo ... the result is someone here calls me "can's worms" You are right to scan in TIFF Steve , and with max bits if you can 24 bits is good , so the "palette color" is richer The size when I scan in TIFF (with only 16 bits -scan Nikon CS- is 120 MB) for ONE picture , it's very big and I have a hard disk for saving all my photos in TIFF . And in addition , when you watch pictures in Tiff it is better and nicer , than in Jpeg compressed like when you post here . You lose in quality in Jpeg and in addition too sharp like digital pictures IMO .... I remind you and as you already know the scanner has a CCD sensor WITHOUT Bayer Filter , not the same case when you scan with a digital camera with Bayer F (color denatured) .
