I am not familiar with TCN, but could TCN and the green filter be particularly
well mated? It is, after all, a C41 film, and thus is inherently different
that standard B&W pan films, no? My past experience with standard B&W films
had me using a yellow-green filter for this kind of separation, but I don't
recall if that was because I preferred it or I just didn't have a green
filter.... ;) Sr. Moments happen...
