i have a few questions that i could use some help on. first, what is the difference between c-41 and e-6 processing? second, what does it mean to "push process" film? third, what does film ISO mean? fourth, what is a panalure print? fifth, what is an internegative? and FINALLY, what is a full frame print? these are questions i cant seem to find the answer for and need help from some people who know these things. THANK YOU

c41 - color negative process

e6 - color transparency (slide) process

push processing - typically used to develop pushed film. if you shoot a 200
speed film at 400, the developing process must change.

internegative - i do black and white work and i use internegatives for
alternative processes that require contact negs. i simply expose a negative
onto another negative which results in a positive image on a negative.

panalure - paper made by kodak for printing color negs in black and white

full frame print - a print that is 'full frame in' is one that hasn't been cropped.
some folks actually print the sprocket holes as proof of full frame in.

oops; forgot one.

iso - iso, asa, and din are all film speed ratings. film speeds are based on the speed of reaction of the heel and toes of films. a lot of photographers rate their film at a different speed than is suggested on the box as they seem to be somewhat optimistic.

thank you SO MUCH. you have no idea how much you've helped me!

you're very welcome.

i might also add that there are black and white films that go through the c41 process.

there's a lot more that can be added to each of the explanations above, but without knowing your particular application, would be too exhaustive to type.
