Theses are the source charts used to create to the film strips, using a Lasergraphics film recorder. This process transfers the digital image from a CRT through red, green and blue filters directly onto 35mm film at an 8K (8192 x 6724) resolution. The film strips were captured onto Fuji Provia 100F positive (slide) film and Kodak Portra 160 color negative film. The film recorder uses custom Look-Up Tables to match the digital colors to the loaded 35mm film. The digital to film transfer and the film developing (E-6 and C-41) were done by Denver Digital Imaging Center in Denver CO.

CTS-4 Test Box Print

This version shows the chart as formated for direct capture from a digital image onto 35mm film.

The CTS-4 frame provides a test box set with common everyday items that can be used to color balance the image. CTS-4 is a frame from a printed digital image. This chart provides real world items and colors as they appear on the same print paper and captured with the same lighting/setup as the first 3 color charts. The original source image was taken of the test box in indirect mid-day sunlight with a DSLR. This chart allows quick comparisons after negative conversion and white balancing and the effects while trying to “fix” a specific color.
