The chemistry was probably the big problem. I know the original Kodachrome had a lot of steps in processing. I believe there was a developer for each color layer. Then, since the dyes were not in the emulsion they had to be "added" as separate processing steps. Mmmm too much effort for me! But it would be fascinating to know his process.
