Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
Hi! i just shot my first Potra 400, but i'm confused with the tone, it looks blue on the highlight and yellow/orange on the shadow.
I use Nikon fm2 and Nikon 50mm, box speed ISO 400, i don't know whether they affected the result. or is it the lab scanning issue??

i mainly use my phone lightmeter, and it usually accurate when i use it with my canonet QL17. Meanwhile the lightmeter on my fm2 often says its under/overexpose by 1 or 2 stop. but i still go with my phone lightmeter.


here's some photos:
the lighting condition here is high contrast with strong lighting, and the surrounding looks warmer in real life.

and i put 2 photos from my iphone as reference

It's the scan. My guess is the lab scanned it without too much correction. Some labs do no correction at all except for maybe density.

A side note, I shoot all my color print 400 speed film at 320. Meter and process as normal. I like to just a bit over expose to bring more depth to the image.
