![]() ![]() Imho, it would be much better to have un-edited scans as a reference to what really is the kodachrome look and not just post-processed slides of kodachrome. The different kodachrome pictures are so different in contrast, saturation and color tonallity, it's quite hard to tell which one is kodachrome and not kodachrome (well, kodachrome + users own point of view on a desirable look). Just found this description for simulating Kodchrome in PS, see Bill T's posting at /digital-darkroom-forum/00F7Xl (didn't try it yet) There are also a lot of photos (and groups) tagged Kodachrome, e.g. They didn't tag Kodachrome, but they did tag Slidefilm. ![]() Most of the colour photos from the Library Of the Congress in flickr are Kodachrome. The example on that site had blown out tops (it's when the lighter parts flow into each other), all shadows where gone, it's often very tempting to add to much contrast.ĭidn't know about Ektachrome, I'll have to experiment myself with both Koda- & Ektachrome tones. Nice, the first script is kind of what I imagine, only with lesser contrast. Here's a great example of Kodachrome's effect: (mouse over the first picture to see)Īlthough probably slightly exaggerated, this is how I remember the difference between KodaChrome and EktaChrome: I wish I had a decent scanner, since I have several boxes of both film types. IMO, Kodachrome (a gorgeous film, by the way) was very warm - oranges, reds, yellows predominated.Įktachrome was far cooler with blues and greens dominating. I can't recall what it's called, but I believe it's retro, vintage photo, or something along those lines. ![]() I'm not sure what Kodachrome looks like, but I found this little "action" in the FX Foundry pack. I'd love to see any results you're able to come up with. I may hit a used book store to see if there's any 1962 circa National Geographics to get ideas from. Thanks! I think I will start the experiments when I get home from work! Much less saturation than Fuji or even other Kodak films That's kind of how I remember Kodachrome also. Whole transport edited this topic ages ago. So perhaps boosting only the red channel and a bit of green (red + green = brown) or desaturate the blue channel (because of the brightness limitations given by computers).Ī tiny bit of sharpening could also help, just don't overdo it. But it didn't have very saturated colors other than those red tones. I've been trying to figure it out before, because some said Kodachrome had really beautiful low-contrast natural tones, which is what I'm after.īut a picture I remeber had a browne tone with brighter red tones (orange and yellow included). I've always wondered how the Kodachrome really looks, people tend to boost contrast and saturation to the extremes on everything they do (including scans). I haven't tried yet, but I'm thinking maybeīoost saturation, a slight pink layer mask, then oversharpen slightly. Just curious if anyone has tried this In GIMP? My relatives took a bunch of slides from that period, and they have a certain "look". ![]()
