this is a stupid question but on film, after you've taken the shots, sent it to the photo place and get it back, the image on the film itself is a negative, right? like, there's no color on it

yea i read up on this shit yesterday.

by developing your film, you make the invisible latent image into a visible negative in which the highlights are the dark bits and the shadows are the light bits. then to print it they slide that shit into an "enlarger" which is a fancy projector and project it onto some film paper. for colour you would shine different wavelengths of light for each colour that the film stored.

for the contact sheet you just slap your negative on top of the film paper and shine a light on it and it will come out as 35mm frames.

your post didn't say anything..

and wikipedia is TLDR. i just remember seeing exposed film when i was a kid and it wasn't in color, it was the film brown color and in tones of that, but i think the image could be seen if you look at it through light.

is it possible to get film like this but with color on it? like in the picture

Color negative film does have colors on it - just backwards. You may not notice them because they're colors on top of a brown film base.

Positive film exists too - those are normally referred to as slides, and you can hold them up to the light and look at them normally - all the colors will be the right way round.

The reason you will not recall seeing a positive film is because the lab sends it back 'mounted' ie they cut the film into individual frames and put them in plastic or paper frames ready for projector machines. If you ask for the to be sleeved you will get back a film that looks very much like your pic.
There is also a negative film now that doesn't have that orange cast designed for scanning. It will come back from the labs an exact negative of the picture.

Surely slide film is positive though? Hence being able to put it in a projector and get the original image on the wall.

Read some more and that rollei film is based on AGFA Aviphot X-400. Apparently a film designed for aerial photography that for specific technical reasons didn't have a colour mask.
If you cross slide film you do get a negative on clear film. Bit pointless really unless you have real problems finding someone to develop E-6 for you but if you cant get the special films mentioned thats a bit of a ghetto, lo-fi route.

Never actually used it, but I guess so. That is what I would expect. Needs less correction and supposedly makes ICE more effective.

Wait, what? Are you trying to say that Kodachrome slides aren't positive images? Because if so, I've got a few boxes of Kodachrome that would like to disagree with you.
