Hello:



Firstable sorry for my English. I’ve been scanning medium format during last year using a Braun fs120, but I’ve discovered that it has difficult scanning c-41 developed negatives. Not with all, ONLY scanning brown/orange negatives. So I have to get perfect c-41 process in order to getting RED negatives. I am using tetenal c-41 (following correctly all instructions, times, etc.).

When the negative scanned is brown or orange when you see the finel image you can find red color over the darks places, and sometimes a blue soft filter over all the image. I found sometimes paralelles lines in the sky as you can see:

Somebody know how to get this red color please? Perhaps using other chemicals?



Thank you very much.

You're using the Braun FS120 scanner and have noticed that it struggles with C-41 negatives that are brown/orange, but it works well when the negatives are red-toned. You're also using Tetenal C-41 chemicals, and you’re confident about following the development instructions correctly. Administratively edited on 29.05.25, 10:20.
