danielscheel Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hi everyone! I started noticing recently that my negatives are turning much more cyan/greenish and just off overall. What could it be? Here are examples of how they look normally and how they turn out now. Thanks! http://i65.tinypic.com/2rg2e4z.jpg http://i68.tinypic.com/2j14gi8.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomspielman Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I've seen similar but much more pronounced color shifts in old film that had been sitting in a camera for a long while. Was the film fresh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed_farmer Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Film, chemicals, filtration, paper, chemicals . . . Has anything change? Old film? Old developer? Have your color correction filters faded? Is your paper fresh and not fogged? Is your paper processing line clean and fresh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Marcus Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 This could be insufficient bleaching. Try dipping one of your off-color negatives again repeating all steps except the developer. Bet this will improve your results. This can be done in normal room light. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodeo_joe1 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Are these direct scans or prints? Home processed or sent away? What lighting are you using? Do you have a proper neutral reference, like a frame containing a colour swatch and greyscale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielscheel Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 Thanks all for the answers! I took it to a professional lab so it is quite weird.... Could it be the lens or the camera? I tried different films and bought new one just to try and all seems to give the same effect. This is a scan of the negative with an Epson v600. Thanks!
