Ektachrome tungsten QUESTION??

i mistakenly shot a roll of Ektachrome(Ektachrome 320T) tungsten using
natural sunlight. (i was shooting indoors, but used only the available
sunlight through the windows-- no artificial light).
The subjects have lots of both intense and subtle color. Will the color
be way off? Is there any way the film can be proccessed to compensate
for the fact that i used the tungsten film with natural Light??

You're going to have some very blue slides. Are you projecting them or
printing them? If printing, compensation can be made either with a
color filter at the enlarger or by altering digitally.

I don't know of a processing that can change the transparency to color
correct, but if you have them printed they can be changed during the
printing process. Your slides will have a blue cast if you shoot
Tungsten outdoors without the corrective filter . 85B is the filter
that corrects daylight shots on tungsten film.

Processing wise, no although printing on Cibachrome or whatever Ilford
calls it now, would allow you to colour correct. Another option, would
be to get some gel filters, once you figure out which ones you need,
mostly yellow, cut the appropriate filters to the right size and mount
them into the slide holder.

Easiest, is to print a Cibachrome print, colour corrected, then take a
photograph of the print on slide film, giving you a colour corrected
slide. You could also use a colour correcting filter and a slide
duplicator......
