I’m not sure the indie, non megalab chemistry kits ought to be so easily dismissed. I have had fantastic results working with Tetenal Colortec in the past with really not that much more than a shift in the cyan direction. And this was using a kitchen sink for thermal stability.

C41 is such a toilet process anyway — everything is shades of brown?! — that I can’t imagine anyway would look for precise color work from it the same way I can’t imagine anyone would look for resolution for 135 stock.

It turns out that you don’t care. Maybe you can think of brown as a color that filters out blue light. You can counteract it by shining more blue light through it. Maybe not exactly blue, but some light mixture. In the end it doesn’t matter, except when you look at the negative with your eyes.

I hear you. Its pretty amazing what can be accomplished at home in your kitchen sink. But sometimes the devil is in the details and little things like a shift in sky colour across three or four rolls is enough the ruin a consistent look you want

The orange mask is there to increase color accuracy, counterintuitively.
