How do i prepare the color and contrast for film output?
Slides (Chrome): For proper slide output, you should prepare your files heavier (darker) in the shaddows and high 3/4 tones. This will prevent the shadows from washing out and appearing grey. Color Negatives: Prepare the files for your negatives as you would like to have them printed. Because C printing is very subjective, try to prepare your files so when they’re printed, the least amount of burning and dodging will be needed. B&W Negatives: Files destined for B&W output should be de-saturated but still in RGB. This will produce the best results when printed onto B&W film.
