This induction starts similar as black and white printing workshop. We setup our easels, films and prepared enlargers for work. Only first couple minutes you feel very embarrassed in the darkroom, because in colour darkroom you must to work in completely dark (without red light) as colour paper is too sensitive for any light. First step is exactly same: we done first test strip with different exposures:
After this strip I was happy to choose 12s exposure for my next strip. On colour enlarger you got 3 colour controllers: Cyan, Magenta and Yellow. And for every start best choose would be C-0 (cyan must be always 0); M - 60 and Y - 80.
When we got test strip with a right exposure - then we can start to adjust colours. This one looks slightly too red. To hide it we need to increase M and Y in equal steps. Next strip was: Exposure 12s. M-65 and Y-85
Still too red. Will increase for another 5 steps both colours. And image looks overexposed. Next test: Exposure 15s. M-70 and Y-90.
I am happy with exposure know but image starts became too cyan. Red colour is opposite to cyan. I tried to make a final print. Decrease colours: M-67 and Y-87
I was really close, but still too cyan. Final print: exposure 15s, M-65 and Y-85. Brilliant!
