Scanning software is first and foremost made to drive the hardware and deliver what signal the hardware provides in a format other programs can use. I'll take a look at colorperfect, thanks for the suggestion. I have to create a separate frame for each image and look at each frame individually. It finds each half of the negative carrier (which contains three 120 images) and adjusts exposure based on that half, including the black borders that separate the negatives on the film. The "find frame" command does not find every frame on 120/220 film (I haven't tried 35mm). It would speed things up if I didn't have to enlarge the frame on every image. For instance, the thumbnail images show the "frame box" well within the black film borders but when I enlarge the frame, I ALWAYS have to adjust the frame box. The major time component so far, however, is having to look at and correct each and every image. I don't enjoy it, either, but I am learning so it's not all tedium. The older ones I've never seen printed or on screen.Ĭorrection DOES take a long time for me, time I don't have with so many negs. They're useful as a starting point.įor most of my photos, I don't care-about 99% aren't worth fooling with-but I'd like to see them. Silverfast has algorithms for most of the most popular films. This will shorten your scan time if correction takes a long time for you. It's a photoshop plugin that takes a raw (you will be bale to make them with Ai) file and magicly creates a color balanced image with dynamic range correction. One suggestion that would add to SilverfastAi, is colorperfect. Switching scanning software that you would have to relearn how you do things would be counter-productive. It works really well for me but is not a product plug. I'm not sure if Silverfast has such a beast. I use vuescan and apply it's own method to calibrate towards film base colour. Why make velvia look flat? You shoot velvia because of how it looks. Most people who shoot chromes enjoy the over pronounced colours of a particular film type.
I personally have one and consider a waste of money.
You will need a target for every type of chrome film you have shot. It will give you further abilities for higher quality scans.Ī IT8 target will only help for chromes of a selected type. How you do things are not likely to change.
