C-41 is what they would do to your color negs if you took
them to the drugstore. I think the C stands for Crap.
And E (as in E-4 or E-6) stands for excellence?

Ryuji, perhaps you can answer the original question about the difference, if any, between deionized water and double distilled water asked by someone in the thread started by Judy.
As far as that goes, what other terms are used for purified water and what exactly do they mean. In general, just how pure does water have to be for various photographic processes?
