Generated color character — not a sample photograph
Redscale XR is a colour negative film wound so it is exposed through the back of the base, producing intense red, orange and yellow tones. Its 'XR' extended range lets you rate it from about ISO 50 to 200 to shift the effect from deep crimson to golden amber.
Character & look
By exposing through the film base, redscale filters the light so the red-sensitive layer dominates, giving surreal warm imagery straight out of the camera with no filters or editing. Rating it lower (near ISO 50) yields brighter, more golden results with visible detail; rating it higher (toward 200) deepens the reds and shadows. It runs in ordinary C-41.

Shooting & development tips
Try EI 50-100 in bright sun for luminous amber tones, or EI 200 for moody deep reds. Because the effect depends on exposure, bracket to learn its range, and process normally in C-41.
FAQ
How does redscale film work?
The film is loaded backwards so light passes through the orange base before reaching the emulsion, filtering out blue and green and letting the red-sensitive layer dominate — producing red and orange images without any filter.
What ISO should I rate Redscale XR at?
Its extended range covers roughly ISO 50-200. Lower ratings give brighter, golden tones with more detail; higher ratings deepen the reds and darken shadows.
