Colour negative film can be cross-processed in the ECN-2 motion-picture process to produce extended exposure latitude, smoother tonal transitions, and colour behaviour distinct from standard C-41 development. This approach combines the flexibility of consumer colour negative film with the tonal structure and colour science of cinema-derived processing.
ECN-2 cross-processing tends to favour controlled highlights, open shadows, and more gradual colour roll-off, making it particularly suitable for scanning where tonal continuity and density separation are important. Results vary by film stock and exposure, and variation is an inherent part of the process.
Push and pull options are available. For first-time use, normal development is recommended to establish a baseline for how the film behaves in ECN-2.
