Sorry to interupt in this drama, but Cuthbert, you may have misread what was Tuco's point. If i may developpe Tuco saying (which was, to be exact)
Originally posted by tuco Your shots are not the only C-41 BW film that the labs give you that is not a true gray scale. Use a color picker and you'll see that R !=G != B. Which is fine if a tone was applied but a pink tone is not typically one people use.
The point of Tuco was just saying that when the lab scanned your BW film, they created a Red / Green / Blue file instead of a Greyscale one.
It's a good remark, because by creating a RGB file, instead of a Greyscale one, the file can have some unwanted tint. In our case, your file have a pink tone in the first picture, and a green one in the last.
Tuco was just suggesting that transforming those RGB file into Greyscale, you can get ride of this unwanted tint (he and I guessed it's unwanted).
I take the liberty here to add, that getting ride off that tint will improve the viewing of the picture : we would'nt be distracted by this pink / green cast, and we could focus more on the quality of the picture, and the subject.
Now, if we put aside this color cast parts, well, i agree on this one
