C41 film12/6/2023 In that technique of course you do get the silver masking some of the colour, to give a desaturated effect. It hadn't occurred to me until now that bleach-bypass is very similar to this, just with a proper colour developer not a B&W one. I've heard of people doing that with bleach-bypassed negatives to revert to the original colour. I suppose I could pick a sacrificial negative strip and try it, to see what happens! Maybe I'll do that with my next roll - it should be possible to do this process, scan the negative to see the image, then retrospectively bleach and re-fix. But they’re split down the middle into two distinct groups traditional B&W films, and those in C-41. Fast, slow, and in a variety of contrasts. When you want to shoot black and white film, you’re greeted by a strange and exciting array of films catering to all sorts of needs. My guess is still that if you bleached these negatives you'd end up with virtually nothing, such a weak colour image that you won't see anything. By using this website you agree to the use of those technologies. But, presumably those under-exposed areas won't have a lot of colour either since the under-exposure will apply as much to the colour as to the silver (ultimately, as I understand it, the colour couplers act in conjunction with the silver to produce dye clouds, so if there's less exposed silver, there'll be less dye as well).
