Hubris. Complete folly and tomfoolery. I am warning you now: we're entering another Struggle Era...

This was CineStill D6 first developer for their recommended +1 push of 8 minutes at 104F—my temperature might've been closer to 106F and maybe that's a factor in the extra magenta when white balanced but it's absolutely not the cause of the deep, deep blue itself.


First image works fine with the overpowering blue cast and the last image is the kind of result you get if you crank a 50K white balance in Lightroom (and then pull magenta down a little) and then the two in the middle are...what the slides really look like.

Will probably try again with the warmer-tone D9 chemistry at some point, and probably more dilute for a longer time too, but right now my pipe dream of bruteforcing this ISO 100 color negative film into a 400 speed transparency stock is (predictably) not looking so hot if these are the results at 200. At least, not for general purpose. Maybe it could work as a stunt stock, some kind of a lomochrome purple type beat.
