- Kodachrome does not contain coupled dyes so processing is not possible using C-41 (colour negative) or E-6 (colour reversal) – both of these would yield a blank film. But Kodachrome film does contain silver halide, so it ought to be possible to process it as a black & white negative.

Oct 2, 2013 · The trouble I’m finding now is actually scanning the film. I use the Epson v600 scanner and the only way it will recognise the negative (as they were developed to be negative not positive film) is through colour and then 16bit black and white, and the image is exceptionally grainy and small.
