expired film
I have an unopened 4 pack of Kodak Gold 200 color neg film. The
expiration was 02 / 2006. Can I still use this ? Should I expect some sort of color shift or other changes? 2nd question: I'm just getting back into film photography. How much color correction can one do with Photo Shop? Can you fix up expired film in photo shop? Can you use daylight film indoors with either incandescent or flourescent lights and still correct it in photo shop? thanks - Bob |

To a large degree and in practice, yes, though you will lose some color information (this is mainly significant with slides, when 100% accurate color is needed, for example in the case of art reproductions). P.S. Fluorescent light - depending on the type - can greatly limit your color range. In the worst case, you might get it to look "o.k.-ish", depending on the subject. |

Stick it in your freezer, that'll stop it from ageing. When you know you
want to shot a roll, take it out the night before and let it come to room temp then when ready load your camera. I've got film that's 10 years od in y freezer. -- There are those who believe that life here, began out there, far across the universe, with tribes of humans, who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians, or the Toltechs, or the Mayans. Some believe that they may yet be brothers of man, who even now fight to survive, somewhere beyond the heavens.

Can you use daylight film indoors with either incandescent or fluorescent lights and still correct it in photo shop? It is easier to fix colours on negative film if it has been exposed a little more than the meter says. If you shoot colour negative in incandescent light the red layer will get extra exposure and the blue layer not enough. If you expose a stop or two extra then the blue layer will get enough and the red layer will still be okay because there is plenty of overexposure latitude. Ta! That's something I need to write on the back of my hand or somewhere... Cheers, Chris |

It's also tough to compensate for light that is very narrow bandwidth, such as these gold high pressure sodium street lights. Photoshop has trouble adding color that is not already there in some reasonable quantity..... |
