Ektachrome E100 | Provia 100F |
This is the trouble when trying to shoot portraits; shades of red-orange are all rotated toward green. This is very difficult to correct with curves.
Sample Image
The paper backdrop (Savage #15 Suede Gray) and the rock should both appear as warm tones.
Notes
Before giving up on this film, I wrote contact-us@kodakalaris.com on August 31, 2020 to see if they can help diagnose the trouble, noting that I processed this at ISO 100 and pushed 1 stop using the Arista development kit at 105°F.
Ken Rockwell reviewed Ektachrome E100G in 2009 and also noted the trouble with a yellow-green color cast as well.
Alex Burke has had some success with E100, and commented that this is a wildly different formula and approach to slide film than any of Fuji's .
