Your work sounds fascinating. I was previously into my photography, specifically film (both slide and col neg) - I'm still a big fan of the medium, except for the expenses and faff of getting a good scan and then getting the colour right.
Can you help me answer two things, as both have bugged me for years..?!
How do they achieve a look of tinted monochrome in films, which are still actually in colour? If that doesn't make sense - I'm thinking of films like Heat where there is often a strong blue tint which gives the feel of monochrome but it is all in colour. I've found was able to replicate it somewhat by combining the image with a quadtoned version, but it was still fairly far off tbh.
The other question is - how does colour gamut relate to the brightness of the display? Is it all to do with the dynamic range of each channel - i.e. the difference between black and, say, red, rather than overall brightness? I was at a photography show recently, and was blown away by some of the prints made by some of fuji's printers. Is it ever possible to match the gamut our eyes can see? And what colour space/gamut do you usually work in? Sorry two extra Q's there...
Thanks, and thanks for the fascinating info already.
