dr5 chrome
dr5, or dr5 Chrome, is a reversal black-and-white process, via which most kinds of black-and-white negative films produce transparencies (slides). It was developed by David Wood, CEO and proprietor of dr5 Chrome Lab, a photographer turned photographic chemist.[1] The dr5 process is a chemical reversal process, rather than the standard light-based reversal for B&W transparency (black and white slide].[1] David Wood recently contributed to the acclaimed Darkroom Cookbook.[2]
History
The "dr5 process", the 5th incarnation of the process and was Derived at by experimentation by David Wood from 1989 - 1991. Though reversal film processing is commonly known throughout photographic history, the dr5 process is proprietary by trade secret. Done privately until 1998, the process teamed shortly with A&I[3] labs in Los Angeles CA.[4] The dr5 process won best new product in 1999 at the '99 Photo Expo-Plus Expo Review[5][6] In 2001, dr5 opened an independent lab at 38th and 8th Ave. in New York City.[7] The lab used a processor made for dr5 specifications by Tecnolab[8] in Italy. dr5-film Lab[9] relocated to Denver[10] in 2005.
