Scanning/printing from Eastman type 5251 movie film

[gordon_paine]

<p>I have many 35 mm still negatives from 1966-1968 that were shot on Eastman type 5251 color negative film (produced from 1962 to 1968), which was used for shooting Hollywood movies. I would like scan the negatives and make prints, but the mask color is different from that used on films intended for still cameras, and I have no idea how to handle this. Can anyone provide help?<br>

Many thanks.</p>

<p>The extra large set of controls that Vuescan has (e.g. locking base color) might give you the tools you need to do the job. Vuescan has a free trial so you can download and experiment with it before buying to see if you can acquire the results you want.</p>

<p>Be forewarned that that film stock (and all the Eastman Color Negative stocks until about 1980) reliably suffers from rather severe dye layer fading, and therefore may require a more elaborate color restoration than modern, less fade-prone films.</p>
