Unfortunately, this wonderful film-type requires some additional attention during digitalization. In Europe, it was common for the development costs to be included in the purchase price. Moreover, Kodachrome slides are usually easy to recognize because of their typical cardboard mounts. To the untrained eye, the Kodachrome film may appear as a negative. When exposed to light, it is possible to see the large amount of silver halide-baryta present in the film itself. Due to the film’s complex development process, the development of Kodachrome film was personally carried out by Kodak. Unlike other Slide-Positive films, the dye couplers of Kodachrome film are first present during film development. Due to an K-14 development process, each layer contains one of the three basic colors. However, what makes Kodachrome so special are its three layers. The film’s design is similar to black-white film. Technically speaking, a Kodachrome film varies from other E6-Positive-slide film due to its construction and special film development process.
