Saturation

[andy153]

I remember how to do that...... you light the little tail that comes out of the can marked Ektachrome 64 and stand clear......?

Mmmm, there is me asking a serious question and that's the answer you give? It can only mean you don't really know yourself () but do not worry I have sussed it out - Canon call it picture styles but Fuji for some reason call one of theirs Velvia mode which stands for their over saturated unrealistic mode, presumably in Japanese. There, sorted!

Blasphemer! You be not acquainted with the unilateral omnipotence of Velvia 50 slide film?!

That's the film that people like Lee Frost and other pros bought up and filled their chest freezers with so they would survive for years into the new age of digital and then eventually discovered the joys of digital so now don't know what to do with the stuff? It had it's place if you liked the way it interpreted the world and was good for it's day. I rather like the way Wet Plates interpreted the world but that is another story......

The joys of digital? What joys? Substandard resolving power, saturation, dynamic range and storage in a medium that will soon enough become obsolete?

Ooops, you are riled now. We ought to start a new thread rather than hijack this one. Apologies to the OP.

I'm only seeing one troll in this thread, and his name isn't Mike.

A quick catchup and I see we have some excitement here.

Velvia .............. yep, used tons of that so I know it. By the way Alex that film would NOT outresolve Tech Pan, and I have used loads of that. So although I do not have a scanner I do have these in slide and neg form in 6x6 format.

So I read "substandard resolving power", "saturation" and wonder what digital kit you have used for you to make that comparison.

Perhaps you can enlighten us as to the kit you used to make your determinations. I will read Mikes thread, as that was the first one I glanced at and will post in that thread. Maybe you will answer my question in that thread so that we can understand where you are comming from.

May need a bit of typing time.
