Not the Kodachrome film. It had to be sent out to special labs that were licensed by Kodak. It was one of those industrial secrets as to the process. Actually I was just reading the last few weeks that the final lab that processed Kodachrome just shut down.

Wasn’t really a secret, the process is patented and available. It was just a colossal pain in the ass, something like 17 steps with two reexposures. It was invented in a hotel bathroom by a couple of musicians for goodness’s sake.

The problem is that the color couplers are unavailable. I think Dwayne’s ran out of the yellow coupler first (y54, alphabenzoyl-ortho-methoxyacetanilide).
