    Tungsten Film for Landscapes

    The other trick that Misrasch used was to use "green" developer on his C prints, which gives you kind of slight pastel colors and slight magenta highlights. You can really only tell if you can see the white boarders of the prints which will have a slight pinkish tint, but he always overmatted past the image edge to hide this. I always suspected he did this by the look of his prints. I went to a gallery in Chicago that had some unframed and I lifted the matt to see the prints underneath and sure enough-pink borders. Combining this technique with VPL negatives gave him that soft smooth tonality.

    He was originally asking about chromes. If were talking negatives now, I only shoot NPS at 100 and never ever filter it in camera. It corrects back very well in all circumstances that have uniform lighting and most mixed light situations too.
    Thanks,
