Digital film-tape-film transfer.

Transfer of the monochrome image, from a duplicate negative, or a print, to a digital electronic image allows the image to be coloured or a suffusion of a single colour to be applied. The resulting subjectively manipulated image can then be transferred back to film via a film scanner. This procedure has not been used for archive work yet. It requires a precise specification to ensure that the image retains film characteristics, as a much wider range of parameters is also possible. Alternatively, the original coloured nitrate may be used and the colours enhanced to attempt to approach the original effect [assuming it is known].
