You can't create content that is not in the original file
Well, I take that back, you can with Photoshop.

:-)

But post processing digitally has an amazing about of flexibility.

But green really is still green!

Ayup. But it can be processed in digital...sometimes more..sometimes
less. With color negative...it could be "tweaked" a bit. With
slides..you were well and truely ****ed. Got lots of green slides
..sigh.

You could slip the slides into the enlarger and print to a
direct positive print paper (I remember that Ansco had one which was on
white plastic instead of paper) and tweak the colors with filtration,
just as you do with color negatives. You can also get some weird
looking prints using polycontrast filtes on the color paper. :-)

Ayup. But the cost! Printing color really WAS expensive, in film,
paper and chemicals. And Im more of a B&W affectionado. I love good
black and white. Ive done a lot of black and white with the digital
camera too. And sepia toning.

I ought to dig out a couple and see if I can process them to something
less green with the scanner...

You should be able to. Ideally -- save as something other than
jpeg, correct and do everything else you want, and then save to jpeg if
you want it in that format. Each time you go into or out of jpeg, you
lose a little more detail.

For most of the stuff that I do...its for the computer. 640x480
frankly..is good enough. My current Oly C-4000 with a 8gig card in it
allows me to shoot up in the 2000xsomething or other (mumble mumble)
and have photos that are less than 1meg...which frankly..is good
enough. If I was going to do more 24x36" prints again..Ill drag out
the 4x5s. I have a few boxes of Plus-x 4x5 in the freezer still...and
the local camera shop gives me a break when developing..cause I supply
the tank, racks and everything but the soup.

Or even the 330Fs




Enjoy,
