But what IF they were slides???
(I put this question some days ago...)
In particular, I had a provia 100 shot at 50 (velvia)
setting. Can I recover the quality of the slides by
some pull/push processing?
Thanks again
Jose
It's Bad News . . .
Gross under-exposure is the bane of negative films as it leaves the
negatives very "thin" (nearly clear). Over-exposure is the bane of
transparency films for the same reason, It leaves the transparencies
"thin" (nearly clear). Slide films have much less latitude compared to
negative films and this makes it even worse.
I recommend finding a full-service pro lab and asking if they can
pull-process E-6. Ask about Provia 100 in particular. Each film varies
slightly with process timing changes for push/pull processing and a good
pro lab will calibrate their push/pull processes for numerous films. If in
doubt, and you can afford to lose the first 4-6 frames from the beginning
of the roll, ask for a "snip test." A "snip test" snips off the first few
frames, and pull (or push) processes them based on the EI you used. These
are examined and processing time for the remainder of the film roll is
tweaked based on what they see in the first few frames.
