Film emulsions

The film emulsion file must be called filmEmulsionCodes.xml and can be located in the application media directory and/or the user's application preferences directory. If more than one filmEmulsionCodes.xml file is present then the contents of each are concatenated. PFClean installs a default filmEmulsionCodes.xml file in the application directory which can be used as a starting point for customisation. A sample filmEmulsionCodes.xml file is given below:

<filmEmulsionCodes>

  <emulsionCode>
    <manufacturer>01</manufacturer>
    <emulsion>20</emulsion>
    <code>AN</code>
    <description>Agfa XT 100</description>
  </emulsionCode>

  <emulsionCode>
    <manufacturer>01</manufacturer>
    <emulsion>24</emulsion>
    <code>AM</code>
    <description>Agfa XTR 250</description>
  </emulsionCode>

</filmEmulsionCodes>

The manufacturer and emulsion fields specify the edgecode numeric fields on a film stock which map to the human-readable code alphanumeric field, and a longer description field of the film stock. These pieces of information are used within PFClean to identify film stock where this information can be gleaned from the source DPX files.
