Color Negative Film Color Correction
Introduction
The conversion from negative to positive is different for each make/model of color negative film.
Color Negative Films
The same rule applies to negative color films as black and white films. The lower the ISO number, the finer the grain.

Color Negative Film
Color negative film is very tolerant of exposure errors. You can be off by 2 or 3 f-stops and still get a print that is barely distinguishable from one from a correctly exposed negative.
Color Negative Film Processing.-
Films such as Agfacolor, Kodacolor, Vericolor, and Fujicolor are negative films that can be processed by the relatively simple C- 41 process.
Color negative film has a narrower range but still quite good, especially if you factor in darkroom technique (does anyone have a color darkroom anymore)? Reversal film, on the other hand, is another story.
Color negative film forms a negative (color-reversed) image when exposed, which is permanently fixed during developing. This is then exposed onto photographic paper to form a positive image.

The ultimate tool for determining proper exposure Correct exposure is critical, maybe even more so for digital capture than film, especially color negative film.
Color negative film is a good choice; either Kodak or Fuji is fine. Both are sharp, well-balanced emulsions. As for slides, try Fujichrome Velvia or the new Provia.
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″).
Slow, saturated, contrasty slide film gives a completely different feel to a picture than fast, grainy, high-latitude color negative film.
There are photographers who use only slide film for landscapes and others who use only color negative films.
iF YU ARE STILL USING FILM, Get 3 rolls of 100 ISO color negative film or just set your DSLR at ISO 100.
Luckily, we had a slow color negative film in our backpacks to guarantee high color saturation coupled with super-fine grain. This combination really spoils photographers with its incomparable detail resolution.
-Color masking - pink or orange mask built into color negative film to improve final reproduction on the print.
-Color mixing - practical application of either additive or subtractive color synthesis.
C 41
Kodak's standard chemical process for developing color negative film, an industrial reference standard.
Color negative films in 120 format are processed every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday so you will generally have at least a two-day turnaround, depending upon volume. B&W proof prints may take a bit longer.
This when you develop a film in chemicals meant for different type of film. The most common technique is developing slide film in the more commonly available chemicals used for regular color negative film.
