 +====== Film type and develop chemicals======
 +
 +Photographic film
 +
 +  * typical Slide film use E-6 chemical
 +  * typical Negative film (color) use C41 chemical
 +  * typical Black and White film use ?? chemical (some can use the color C41)
 +
 +
 +Fujichrome color reversal (slide) films. 
 +  * **Velvia**: one of the most saturated and fine-grained slide films, valued by nature and landscape photographers.
 +  * **Provia**: a slide film giving more natural colors than Velvia.
 +  * **Astia**: a fined grained, low contrast slide film often used for studio or portrait applications.
 +  * **Sensia**: a low-contrast consumer slide film; the current emulsion is considered to be identical or near-identical to Astia in the professional line.[9][10]
 +  * **Fortia**: consumer slide film, featuring extremely vivid color rendering suitable for flower photography and other high-saturation applications (for Japanese market).
 +
 +Fujicolor color negative (print) films. 
 +  * Fujicolor Pro 160S, 160C, 400H, and 800Z (formerly NPS, NPC, NPH, and NPZ): Professional films with different levels of contrast.
 +  * **Reala**: the first film to use the fourth cyan-sensitive layer, currently sold under Superia Reala name.
 +  * **Superia**: intended for snapshots.
 +  * **Press**: Cut from the same emulsion stock as Superia, but cold stored and sold as a professional film.
 +
 +Fuji Neopan Professional black & white negative film. 
 +  * Neopan SS: ISO 100 film, most common and least expensive Neopan film
 +  * Neopan ACROS: ISO 100 film, finer grain than SS but usually more expensive
 +  * Neopan Presto: ISO 400 speed film
 +  * Neopan Super Presto: ISO 1600 for low-light shooting or fast action
 +
 +====== Get a Scanner or a Macro lens for digitize film======
 +
 +  * a dedicate film scanner: easy setup and good result
 +  * a macro lens or a macro setup with digital camera: cheap setup and fast result
 +
 +===== the scanner way=====
 +
 +  * How much scanner DPI do you need
 +    * for 135mm film size (about 1x1.5 inch size, ), a 1200 dpi scanner get 1200x1800 resolution (2MP, good for 4R size print)
 +    * so a good 4800 dpi scanner will give you 32 MP (a decent A2 size print), ideally.
 +    * scanner with dip like 6400 and above, you need a fine detail film to pull out more resolution, like 6400x9600 (like A1 size)
 +
 +  * 135mm film vs 6x4.5,6x6,6x7 medium format film,
 +    * so with scanner, 6x7 film gives 5 times the resolution of 135mm film for the area size (bigger than 300dpi A0 size)

 +
 +===== the digital camera way =====
 +
 +  * you get maximum as much MP as your camera sensor, after crop the edge, roughly 80% of your digital camera MP
 +  * make sure you shoot bright and perpendicular to the film plane, then you get a good print.
 +
 +
 +  * here is setup: http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/slr-compacts/983250-my-diy-scanning-rig.html
 +  
 +  * macro setup option:
 +    * DSLR way
 +      * a macro lens and tripod (DSLR)
 +      * a 50mm lens and a extension tube (DSLR)
 +    * a compact camera in macro mode (compact digital camera)
 +      * good as less depth of field blur, easy to focus
 +  
 +
 +
 +
 +====== From Negative to Normal Color Photo ======
 +
 +  * in Photo Editing software (like Photoshop), do these steps in color adjustment
 +    - invert (color)
 +    - adjust white balance (shift to blue or red) for correct color
 +    - adjust level or curve for exposure
 +
