I passed it along because I rarely see pieces about
photography and thought it might be of some interest. The person
writing it assumed a lot of things about commercial photography
that are not true. I've seen many other news feature pieces about
other things that had the same problem; the writer was not
personally familiar with the technology.
Fuji film was popular in the motion picture industry for a
time mainly because it was cheaper than Kodak.
Also, in the bad old days there were a lot of hand colored
B&W. The very best looked like color photos or even oil
paintings. Most looked like what they were; tinted photos. I
tried hand coloring a couple of times but could never get the
hang of it.
Does anyone remember Kodak Flexichrome?

Worth noting, as well, that the portrait business never used color transparency film. It was B/W until color negative film was introduced c.1950.=============================================================================================================
Remember that their end product was a print- something transparency film never did well. Slide film was for advertising, editorial, and family slide shows.
