>>2871870Following on from here with more exciting tests!
I heard a theory that you can use cyan filter gel in front of your light source to nullify the orange colour of the film base.
So I tested it, and whilst I was there the difference between the shiny and matte side of the film.
method - colour corrected the matte, normal version in as limited a way as possible, the levels for the RGB channels were set and then i added a tiny hump in the red curve, and that's it. The white balance was set off the leader. These settings were copied and pasted to the other 3 images, the only adjustment the cyan versions had was changing the white balance off the leader again.
My observations
-matte side wins all day long
-The cyan filter definitely put the white balance closer towards the centre, I sometimes find myself pretty much out of room on the blue/yellow slider where little changes seem to make massive differences, so this was good
-I'm also slightly more impressed with the colour that I got at the end with the filter, there's a marked difference in the red/purple colours and the shadows seem to be more neutral.
Any thoughts?
