Film accuracy

Every stock is measured.
Not eyeballed.

A reference target, shot on real film, read as curves, rebuilt the way emulsion builds colour. Here is the loop, end to end.

140 patches, one film. Every patch takes its own shift; a filter would move them all the same.

Hover a patch · measured ΔRGB

The machine reads the dye itself. Drum scans, and Fujifilm's Frontier SP-3000, the scanner behind a generation of film looks.

Density against log exposure. Chromogen carries this curve per stock, so the film answers light the same way at every stop.

Colour built like dye, not like a tint. Three dye layers, multiplied in register, built per channel.
