    As far as I know it's all digital now in the west.

    Most film labs are gone. Last I heard Kodak was making ventilators.

    It is said that 3 strip technicolor prosses ended in mid 50s. So do you know what it was after mid 50s?

    It looks like the real Technicolor movies ended in mid 50s. I dont know what the later movies that are told to be shot in Technicolor are.

    Since the start of mixed YCM pigments for subtractive colour, little has changed over the years. Dye transfer printing had its day, but due to the number of prints needed to make it economical it quickly died a death. The Dye transfer printers were sold to India.

    As Zen has already pointed out, the advance to 4k (4.000 pixels per horizontal line), along with greater frame speeds has now virtually replaced film in the cinema.
    It was a sad day for me, but with processing a copy of every film costing £1,200 per print, it may have saved the cinema industry. Although a digital cinema projector costs £50,000, the money is recovered in less than 2 years.

    IMAX is the possible exception, since it can offer up to 15k resolution, but with a single print of a 20 minute film costing £10,000, it has an uncertain future.

    I was asking about the difference between Process 4 (3-strip technique) and the later Process used as of mid 50s :D
