Color Transparency Film At Different Resolutions

In chromes, a huge amount of detail is possible. See Section A from the same frame. Unlike negative film, grain aliasing is negligible. Files downsampled from a large scan and direct scans are much more similar in quality than with color negative film. A side-by-side comparison can be seen on the Neg Vs. Chrome page.
