dmax = digital maximum...

How strange! The internet said Dmax is a hair salon in Kings Cross, London UK, with "good prices and excellent services".

But I do know that Kodachrome is a Paul Simon song off of his third album. :)

Dermot, in the old days when you pushed film transparency  to a radical point, 3 to 4 stops you would - could start to see the DMax of the film showing.

prolly around the same time (early 2000's)Technicolor had a process called Dmin/Dmax that one lighted a roll with a cineon-ish encodeing, based on density between the sprokets.. all from memory and i never transfered a reel this way, but i have graded a few features (on Cyborg2k) from rushes transfered to DPX with this method, worked well for the time given the priceing of 2k scans was still by the frame mainly for VFX, and it was rare for anyone to be doing full DI back then, the Dmin/Dmax made it afforable
