Nikon FM2n, AI Nikkor 50mm f/1.8S, Kentmere Pan 400, developed in LegacyPro L110 at 1:31 for 5.5 minutes. Three individual black and white frames shot through Tiffen #25 Red, #58 Green, and #47 Blue filters, respectively, then combined using GIMP to create a trichrome color image. I admire your efforts!
Also curious how harder or easier it is to color balance the stack, compared to the color negative scans?
Thank you,

Thank you, SergeyT! I don't develop or digitize my own color negatives (yet, maybe one day), so I don't really have anything to compare with. However, I do take the stacked trichrome from GIMP into Lightroom for some final post processing. Occasionally there is some pesky color cast that I can't quite get rid of, but usually it's not too difficult to color balance. Since I primarily use B&W film, I'm not very good at color post processing. I just try to get it to a point that looks natural to my eye, without worrying too much 100% color accuracy or consistency.
