Anyone recommend a good online colour processing introduction? I thought
I'd have a dabble to see just how practical colour dev and printing will
be in my limited darkroom setup and am looking for a step-by-step type
guide to point me in the right direction.

Kodak has a bunch of manuals on-line. They are all Z- some number.

131 is for C-41

This is the list.

It's easier then it seems-)

Thanks, I'll take a read and give it a try, though I expect I will start
off printing already developed negs, rather than go the whole hog and dev
the films as well.

Keep notes. I used to write all the settings on the back of every print.
It helped to let figure out if I was going the right way or the wrong way.
Film processing is likely simpler but if you screw up it's screwed. With a
print if you screw up you toss it and start over.
