Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted January 17, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted January 17, 2005 OK, what's up with all the highly technical questions? Are you building your own lab out there? Because this (knowing chemical formulations) is getting beyond any practical knowledge a cinematographer needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic Case Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 ENR is a propietary Technicolor process (originally developed for Vittorio Storaro in Technicolor Rome by three employees with initials E, N & R). It is one of the many bleach retention processes: after the bleach bath in the pos process, the film is passed through a black and white developer which reconverts the bleached silver ions to silver, which is not removed in the fixer. The result is a very contrasty and desaturated image, with particularly rich blacks but subued colours. Although the end-result (silver in the image) is not unlike the bleach bypass process, ENR (and the similar DeLuxe processes ACE & CCE) only work in the pos process, not the negative process. If you search (this site, Google, etc) for bleach bypass, silver retention or similar, (or even for ENR) you will find as much as is available on the web.

It's to not propagate misinformation for anyone that might be doing research, like myself. John Pytlak has been dead for over a year now though, so you aren't likely to get any more contributions from him. Proper procedure here, as it is with other internet fora is to not dig up the past but start a whole new thread if past threads haven't adequately answered your question. . . Just FYI ,you must've missed it. I had a thread on ENR here very recently, some time in 2009 IIRC. I'd recommend searching for that one. . .
