Jack Honeycutt Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Folks... I have heard of 3 step E6 processing and 6 step E6 processing. As it relates to movie film, is one process better than another? That is to say, all other things being equal, will the final results looks about the same? I need a "E6 Processing For Dummies" book. Can anyone recomend a web site or book to me? Thanks. jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filip Plesha Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 It should make no difference, results should be identical unless there are some problems with either. The difference is that you can adjust PH in the color developer in the 6-step process, which kind of gives you more control, if you care for it. Also, 3-step process is sometimes known to have trouble when you mix different films, for example put Fuji in the machine, then put Kodak, the problem is a color cast, usually magenta. But this has nothing to do with you since you are going to be processing motion picture film, and there is only one brand at the moment. So again, yes, both processes were designed to make identical results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By Simplified, do you mean 3 step E6 processing? jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK, Kodak does not offer 3-solution E-6 process, for good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
