David,
I got the purple
very beautifully in the slide film. Next year when the Irises bloom I try a
digital capture to see if it got a better color gamut.
I had the same problem with printing from slides in the 1980's. Purple
flowers would print more magenta than purple. I think the problem is the eye and
some films can see the near ultra-violet spectrum but the printing process could
not, especially if printing the slides directly as the reversal process was more
limited in gamut.. I wonder if I sent the slide to a custom lab and got a 4 6"
internegative could the lab then print it purple with today's technology. The
other option would to find a scanner with a higher dynamic gamut.
