E6 Slide Film vs C-41Color Negative Film

In short, slide film produces a positive image on a transparent base, while color negatives the lightest areas of the photographed subject appear darkest and the darkest areas appear lightest. The color negative film is then reversed during scanning and typically has an orange mask.

Slide film is commonly referred to as “E-6”. The development includes First Developer, First Wash, Reversal Bath, Color Developer, Pre-Bleach, Bleach, Fixer, Second Wash, Third Wash, and Final Rinse.   Development takes about 60 minutes, not including drying time.

*Due to EPA regulations, FujiChrome Velvia 100 cannot be transported or processed in the United States.  Velvia 50 is not affected.
