JosvanEekelen Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 <p>Including processing and framing? Seems very expensive to me but hey, it will be a collector's item before long.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDMvW Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 <p>"For that price" look at Photoshop Actions downloads at (<a href="http://homepage.mac.com/WebObjects/FileSharing.woa/wa/default?user=pbize1&templatefn=FileSharing15.html&xmlfn=TKDocument.15.xml&sitefn=TKSite.3.xml&aff=consumer&cty=US&lang=en">link</a> ).</p> <p>Many commercial programs (DxO, others) offer more complex actions to do processing of digital images into something, somebody, somewhere thought looked like the old Kodachrome.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leon_b1 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 <p>The problem with these actions for duplicating Kodachrome is that most of the ones I've seen seem to be based on the mistaken impression that Kodachrome was 'saturated'. It isn't, and wasn't, at least in the Velvia sense of saturation, even the long-gone slower versions.</p> <p>I've been able to get closest to the look of original Kodachrome, to my eyes, by <em>de</em>saturating blue and playing with curves to get the shadows to look right, though given as I still usually project my images I'd rather just use K64 as long as it's around.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon_dragon Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 <p>The reviewer described Kodachrome as more "natural" color rather than saturated for what that is worth. I think in general the foveon sensor in the DP2 is supposed to be pretty good color fidelity and very good for a point and shoot -- course it's expensive too.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varjag Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 <p>I've seen some images from the Sigmas. Can only say that it must've been a while since Dan Richards seen Kodachrome last time.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
