Pile of wood

My first attempt of home-developing E-6 in a 3-bath Tetenal kit using Jobo CPP-2 with FAILED temperature regulation.

 

Yes, the color balance isn't spot on, partially due to chemical process and temperature but there are some scanner software tweaks to blame as well. From what I saw through the film against the window and on the scanner, it's pretty close. Some ppl scared me not to expect much from a 3-bath kit but I can live with the result.

 

Processing went like this:

- 1st developer 7'00" at 39C

- aprox 2'30" washing, total of 3 rinses (same temperature)

- 2nd color developer 7'00" at already dropped 38.5C

- aprox same washing procedure as before

- bleach 7'00" at now close to 38C

- aprox 6'00" washing with 4 or 5 rinses of water at the same 38C +/- 1C

- dipped in a tank with stabilizer for a minute, afterwards dipped in a distilled water and hanged to dry

 

Jobo failed to regulate temperature so I used tapped hot water to reach a bit over 40C then let it naturally cool down. At point when chemicals were at 39C I started with the first bath, following as stated.
