At first glance I was disappointed by the results from testing the new Kodak Ektachrome E100 – because I only saw the scans, and they looked kinda weird. Then I noticed that the scanner operator tried to get as much data into the (JPEG) files as he could, and he normally scans my color negativ film and knows what I need for editing. Then I remembered that I intentionally did what you should do with slide film – if in doubt: Slightly underexpose!

So, after tweaking all settings in Adobe Camera Raw (yes, can be used with JPEGs too), I fell in love again with slide film. When done right, you can get very moody results “out of camera” (literally this time). Editing is just giving the last touches to the image that’s already there, and I think I would never have done it this way with a color negative or digital image.

Now the treasure trove that is our freezer will lose some of the stuff that’s in cold storage in its lowest drawer. I’m glad that I bought some slide films when they were still available for cheap (mainly Agfa re-branded Fuji Superia/Provia) …
