I thought you just sneezed in Welsh.<br /><br />You can do color film and faux B&W (chromogenic) film with Caffenol, or with any black-and-white chemistry, for that matter. You won't get color results -- that requires a different process entirely. Also, the backing material of color film is typically tinted, so the scanning/reversal process will look wonky. Inverting color film with its typical orange backing gives you a very bluish print (blue being the color opposite of orange. Remember your color wheel?)<br /><br />It can be done, especially if you're looking more for more artsy results. The reason I went to bulk-loading black-and-white, though, is that it drove the price-per-roll down to about $1.25 for 36 exposures. It's all about the Benjamins for me (or in this case, the Washingtons and the Lincolns.)<br /><br />As to scanning negatives, you can be really, really cheap and hold them up to your window, and photograph them with a digital camera. Results are... well, you can see the results, since that's what I did. Keeping the negatives flat is key, and something I did not do well, so the negatives are very soft (blurry) around the edges.<br /><br />I have a crafty solution in mind, though, and I'm going to play with it.mpclemenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12807147515549175803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058472817603514138.post-7433373949155654192009-05-21T09:54:56.783-07:002009-05-21T09:54:56.783-07:00Lord.

I think you addressed this once already, but I wanted to be sure. Also, how does one go about scanning a negative? <br /><br />I know that I could <I>probably</I> figure it out w/ a Google search, but I think going satriahg tto the experts is better.Mike Speeglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08648532407369443335noreply@blogger.com
