![]() ![]() I've heard that flatbeds aren't the best for 35mm but I dont do professional work or anything so I'll probably be fine with the quality. I thought to scan my images with my own camera to save some time and money, but I might just end up getting a flatbed scanner. I am also seeing too much digital noise after inverting the images using negadoctor, so I'll have to figure out what I need to do to try fix that. I do find though, that if my images are underexposed they need a lot of work. In terms of converting the negatives I am mostly happy with the results. I edited them in a similar manner and some came out with really vibrant colors, some were a bit duller than expected and some looked just right. Even on the same roll of portra 160 that I'm working on the colors are all over the place depending on the scene conditions and even how I (under)exposed my images. As for the colors I get what your saying. I do need to refine my scanning process but I learned a lot of stuff with this first try. ![]() adjust white and black levels if needed.Įdit: more specific description of workflow. I usually just use the picker but depending on the scan I either choose a specific spot on the image to set my shadows and highlights. use the corrections tab on the negadoctor module if needed. using negadoctor: set my scanner exposure bias either manually or setting the picker on my shadows. using negadoctor: set my D max to the highlights of my image using negadoctor: set the color of the film base. I am actually liking my results for now (based on a few edit images) I still use it though and I think it helps with a better image. Rather than being a raster graphics editor like Adobe Photoshop or GIMP, it comprises a subset of image editing operations specifically aimed at non-destructive raw image post-production. ![]() The user manual also mentioned that the color correction tab is mostly used with old or expired film to fix any color casts. Darktable (stylized as darktable) is a free and open-source photography application program and raw developer. This helped with bringing color in and the output is a bit more vibrant. I looked at the darktable negadoctor user manual and it says to turn off the base curve module. My colors still look a bit muted however. I wasn't correcting for the white balance of the light pad I'm using so I'm doing that now. Thanks for the reply! I watched it and his workflow isn't too different from mine. ![]()
