    newbie processing - help needed!!

    i've been working with digital for a long time, and only recently started working with medium format film. i'm trying to work out how the saturation and colours tones on this shot were achieved:



    i could do it in a few minutes in photoshop, but i'm trying to work backwards and involving myself with chemicals and processing all over again. i cant see it being filters or lighting, so all fingers point to the developing stages (or even film type)

    any help would be more than appreciated

    i'm trying to work out how the saturation and colours tones on this shot were achieved:
    (1) Approx. 1 stop overexposure on transparency film

    (2) Wrong colour balance for lighting - possibly an 82B filter used when no correction was necessary

    Who needs Photoshop?

    you might get a similar result using a negative film like Kodak Portra NC, although probably not as low contrast as this shot (which looks over exposed).

    This looks like 40 year old Kodak Ektachrome which has faded!
