Re: [APML] pushing E6

Hi Richard
I never develop my color films at home. I have found a professional lab that works very well, and uses special machines, and the results are by far better than the others here (Santiago, Chile). Of course they are a bit expensive, but the results are worth the extra money.

I have never developed any color film, but I have read an old book about that and said that the E6 process requires a special light tube to "flash" the film. I don't know how does E6 works now, but it seems to much complicate for me... <g>

As I have been told (and from the little experience I have with black and white films) there are two ways to push a film: increase the development time or the temperature. If you increase the temperature the film grain is increased more than if you increase only the time... and some professional photographers tolded me that with care you can push a film without noticeable increase in the grain.
I always push E200 and Provia 400F two steps, but I have one or two unpushed. When I'll receive my SS4000 scanner I'll do some tests about that.
