The standard processing formula for most colour negative and chromogenic films.
C-41 - Kodak's standard photochemical process for developing color negative film.
C-41 is the code assigned to the most common colour print film processing system used for 35mm film today. E-6 is the code assigned to the most common slide (reversal) film processing system used today, developed for Kodak's Ektachrome product line.
C-41: Only Fuji Reala (100) seems to have a sharp, grainless emulsion that is useful in almost any lighting situation. Prints from Reala negs look so GOOD.
Non C-41 process film developed in C-41 process

We’ll discuss C-41 films in detail in a later installment, but the benefit that the average one-hour lab can handle them is a big one.
Print film requires the C-41 process. This is the standard process for all colour negative films and is available almost anywhere.
Reversal/transparency film requires the E-6 process.
Cross-processing is developing color print or slide film in the wrong chemicals - for example, color negative film in slide chemicals ("C-41 as E-6″) or slide film by the color negative process ("E-6 as C-41″).
The C-41 processing used for color negatives is far more likely to be available in remote geopolitical hot spots than is quality E-6 slide processing.
Color negative developing (C-41 process) and color print developing (RA-4 process) are very similar.
If your film is marked C-41, you can send it to any color lab. C-41 black and whites will usually be printed with a slight hue; even though there is no color information in the negative, ...
I learned another secret about them: they process all the film as dip-and-dunk, even their C-41(color print) and B&W.
Develop the film or have it developed at any colour print lab using process C-41 chemicals. Note that this is a colour negative film process not a slide film process, so you may get some enquiring looks from your film lab! ...
Chromagenic film is black and white film that is processed using C-41 chemistry which is what is used for color negatives.
Chromogenic Film
These include Black & White films which are designed to processed in C-41 (color) chemistry. Example: Kodak CN400, Ilford XP-2.
If you're interested in black-and-white film but have difficulty finding processing in your area, you might want to try one of the black-and-white films that can be processed in color (C-41) chemistry. Ilford makes XP-2 and Kodak offers TCN-400.
Most digitals will give good results up to about 800 ISO before the images start to get noisy, and modern films are terrific at least to that speed. Don't forget the Black and White C-41 films like Kodak T400CN (400 ASA - developed at the local ...
