  Neither of these is universally true. Some developers 
produce a relief image but most do not. Color film emulsion 
is sometimes as shiny as the support side. This is also true 
of films with retouching surfaces coated on both sides such 
as most Kodak "professional" films. In the case of 
Ektachrome it can be hard to tell which side is which. In 
general, film will tend to curl toward the emulsion side. 
The other clue is the edge printing on roll and 35mm film, 
this is such as to be readable the right way around when 
viewed through the support side. For sheet film the code 
notch is placed so that when the film is held with the notch 
on the upper right edge the emulsion side is facing you.
