thank you thank you.

and to be completely honest, i actually can't see much of a difference between the two films. I'm not color blind, but either i have some issues recognizing colors, or i spend so much time color grading each shot that after a while i find it difficult to tell how it looks. like if you put two of my shots side by side, one 500T and one portra 400, i dont think I'd be able to tell you which is which lol

i use darktable's negadoctor module to invert the negative, then do manual adjustments from there by eye. once im full into color fatigue territory and think it looks good, i export everything and upload to my immich server. then over the next few days i go back to admire them and find, huh, these have a pretty serious green/blue/red/whatever cast -- should probably fix that.

so yeah my color work maybe could use some improvement, if only for consistency's sake. but i think im getting better!

edit: actually, i can really tell the difference handling the negative. 500T is way thicker than portra. but otherwise its a crapshoot to my eyes
