    X-Ray film isn't panchromatic, so it wouldn't have any practical value in this instance. By far the most cooperative film for color separations is TMX, followed by
    TMY, followed by FP4. There has to be linearity of tricolor response not only at the middle of the curve, but over a long straight line sufficient for the entire range of the original transparency itself. A lot of tricks to this. There are people who can do separations commercially for you, or you can do it entirely in your own darkroom; but expect only blood, sweat, and tears for a couple of months. If you are willing to endure it, I can give some further tips. And of course, dust control
    must be undertaken with fanaticism.

    XRay film might be reversal processed, but all of it I've ever seen is on a blue base which would make odd slides. Some XRay film is pretty orthochromatic. I got some clouds well captured today, for instance.

    I enlarged 6x17cm onto 14x36 inch Kodak CSG to make a positive and on my light table the blue is not that visible.

    Don't forget I am not trying to emulate the past, but make what we have now work for me.

    I posted an iPod image of that in X-Ray.

    Maybe I should go play with the ALT Print crowd as I seem to be moving off mainstream.
