About Kodak Kodachrome 64
Kodachrome used a fundamentally different process from every other colour film: the dyes were added during development, not held in the emulsion, which is why the images keep their colour for decades in dark storage. The last roll was developed in 2010 when the final K-14 lab closed. Most iconic National Geographic colour work of the twentieth century is Kodachrome.
