Re: Fuji 617

[Steve Shapiro <sgshiya@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When we shoot color ngative film the negative becomes a template for the
color sensitive paper.  Plus exposure gives a heavier saturated print.

Under exposed reversal film makes the medium less susecpitable to the
electrolisis, process of 'clearing' the film of the unnecessary emulsion,
therefore it's thick with chemistry and *dark.*

I think that should be dark NEGs mean over exposed - the print should
look the same as the slide ie dark if underexposed!

are you trying to confuse us?    ;-)
