Kodak Gold 200

Kodak Gold 200 in Trichroma Lab: 4 frames on 120 and 35 mm, developed in Trichroma Lab; a negative converted in both Negative Lab Pro and Trichroma Lab.

Below them, the film's base as the app measures it, and what the app does with that number.

Frames on Kodak Gold 200

Developed in Trichroma Lab and exported as they are — nothing was done to them after the export. Under each: the format, and the camera and lens it went through.

Kodak Gold 200 through Negative Lab Pro, and through Trichroma Lab

The same negative converted in both programs and cut to one window. Both were finished by hand, the way you would finish a roll; neither half is a default conversion. All four pairs, and what each started from.

The film base, measured

The bare, unexposed film around each frame — the clear rebate — measured in density on the station Trichroma Lab is calibrated on: under narrowband light at 665, 525 and 455 nm, and under white light through a Fujifilm GFX100S. The light let through is the same reading put the other way round: ten to the minus density.

Read these as this station's numbers rather than the film's in general: another camera or lamp measures another base for the same film, and two rolls of one stock, developed apart, read apart too — which is why the app grades your roll on its own base wherever it can read it.

What Trichroma Lab does with it

Under three narrow bands, with a flat, it never asks which film you shot: your roll's own base is read off its rebate. This entry comes in when the film is named — under white light, where you always name it, and on a roll whose own base could not be read. It is listed as “Kodak Gold 200”, and under white light your roll's own base tunes it to your development batch. Narrowband or white light · how trichromatic scanning works.
