I hated scanning as it was so time consuming. ![]() I wonder if those lusting after the K64 look would put up with the amount of grain that's apparent even at the small size displayed here.Īlso, the slides would need a really good cleaning before professional printing.īob you've just described why I was more than happy to make the switch from film to digital. If anyone knows of an accurate preset for On1, Affinity, Paintshop Pro, or Nik Collection, I'd love to hear about it. I can sort-of create it manually but I'd need to learn a lot more about it to be able to create a preset on my own that worked consistently. I haven't found a preset yet that looks to me like Kodachrome 64. You need to think about what you are looking at. ![]() It may be a camera issue, or a lighting situation,(wedding dresses are notably prone to picking up colors from around them) or the white may actually be "off white" with a pink base. So if you sample a "white" (light gray) and you get a RGB value with say red being much higher you know there is a color cast in the image. I just mention these to give you some of the "known values" that I use to gauge the color shift in an image. But I shoot for as narrow a difference as possible when adjusting.Ī sky blue will have a Hue value of about 220 (really dependent on latitude, time of day, and part of the year) with a variable brightness and limited saturation values. It does not have to be exact, because perceptions will skew "gray" for quite a bit of hue shift. I've had a tough time finding "neutral" photos to compare (I understand that MANY variables go into the image I see on my computer screen starting with storage conditions of the film all the way through to my monitor calibration, but I'm trying to find common characteristics across many photos).Ī neutral gray will read 127 R 127 B and 127 G the brightness values of the that gray may change lighter or darker but that 1:1:1 ratio will apply. Unfortunately it's difficult to find digital scans online that aren't shifted toward magenta or blue in a lot of cases so Could you expound a little more on some of K64's distinct qualities? The color neutrality bit is valuable info. I remember the first time I tried Velvia in the same shooting situation as K64 and found the Fuji to be a golden brown rendering of the same scene that came up black and silver on K64.Īnd K64 actually had details in the "blacks", while the Fuji was blocked up. If I recall properly that was because of the way the film was constructed and processed. K64 produced very neutral highlights and shadows almost as clean as black and white film. ![]()
