Funny you should ask that, Scott. Alien Skin Software today introduced
Exposure. Part of this Photoshop plug-in is a suite of filters that emulate
the look of specific films. Kodachrome 25 is there. They even have a filter
to emulate the old GAF 500 slide film from the 70s!! The other part of the
suite emulates a wide variety of black and white films. I've been playing
with a pre-release version for a little while and have had great fun
converting some of my digital shots and scans to the looks of a variety of
old films. I just checked and don't see the info on their web site yet, but
it should be up later today since this is the embargo date they gave us.

Thanks Bob. This could be very interesting. The oldest emulsion I use
is Tri-X followed by... Superia :-) I can see a lot of historical,
even educational value in taking a picture and applying these filters.
Assuming that they are accurate.
And bypassing the fact that I don't have any of the required software;
still, maybe one day...
