This helps correct for the effect of midday sun in the California Sierra.Р”Р„mong the hundreds of 35mm slides returned to me from the processing lab the other day was this Kodak Ektachrome E100 slide of Conway Scenic Railroad 5 leading the 2020 RailfanРІР‚в„ўs Day photo freight that I helped organize.

Notice that I manually moved the black point to the left, while lightening shadows and reducing overall contrast. Lightroom work window showing contrast and exposure adjustment sliders and the corrected histogram. IРІР‚в„ўve included scaled versions of: the unmodified scan, the color and contrast adjusted scan, and the Lightroom work window. The roll I used was relatively fresh and required significant color adjustment to produce a near neutral bias. When the film was fresh it tended toward a cyan (blue-green) bias, and as it aged it shifted red. Among the difficulties with the Kodachrome emulsions was its cyan/red color bias. Kodachrome 25 was an amazing film with very fine grain and a tremendous exposure latitude. The other day, I scanned this slide and then imported the unmodified scan into Adobe Lightroom to make corrections.
