Re: Did i make a boo boo
Just go ahead and process it, see what the results are like ... you can probably fix it in Photoshop in any case. Lots of ways to correct the color cast problems. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just finished a roll of Kodak Portra 100T,which i thought was their version of the C41 based BW films.
Re: Did i make a boo boo
Your results are going to be very blue. That might be nice in the snow. But probably not. You can try scanning the negs and converting them to grayscale in PhotoShop. You might end up with decent results that way. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just finished a roll of Kodak Portra 100T,which i thought was their version of the C41 based BW films.

Re: Did i make a boo boo
Hi, Dave. The Portra 100T balances beautifully for tungsten lights, but it's not bad for outdoor shots. The lab will likely try to colour correct it as much as they can, and in my experience you can come very close. If you envisioned the shots as BW, it may be interesting to have one set printed in colour and one printed as BW. chris On Mon, 16 Feb 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just finished a roll of Kodak Portra 100T,which i thought was their version of the C41 based BW films.

This was one of the rolls you throw in with the 6x7.-) Do all i have to do is ask them to print them out on BW paper??Sounds to simply.vbg Dave
Re: Did i make a boo boo
It's worth a try. I've never printed colour negs as BW myself, but I've had several customers who did it and were happy with the results. chris On Mon, 16 Feb 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Dave.
