I read some of your comments while I was on break. But the slide thing is bothering me.ĭoes anyone have a V550 or equivelant who can scan both indoor and outdoor slides to see if they have the same results? Or maybe know of a way I can get the scanner to just scan and let me crop? No issues at all (save for the dimensions were not the same for each image). So I put the slides away and moved to the film. Put the slides back in and same results as before. The scan showed all four holders for the slides and they were correct. I thought the scanner may have been out of alignment so I took the slides off and left the carriage on the glass and did a scan. One slide was taken in daylight while the other three were done indoors. ![]() Tried the same slides but in different locations and the same result. Third and fourth were definitely cropped. First slide was a full scan, meaning the entire image was visible. Got it all set up, easy enough, and got started. Just happened to have a box of slides and some film so thought it would be a great time to test drive the box. I purchased a refurbished Epson V550 from Amazon and it arrived today. This is one thing that drove me nuts about Photoshop plugins I tried in the past - pretty much every photoshop plugin uses one or more “autocolor” adjustments in an early part of the conversion, but these adjustments end up “fully baked” in the output - there is no transparency to color adjustment is being applied, and no ability to change it in the early, crucial state in the editing pipeline.I have searched around here to see if anyone else has had this issue but do not see anything. Whether evaluative or fixed, it should be easy to see and adjust exactly what it is doing. For instance, some tools enable you to use both an autocolor algorithm and a fixed film profile at the same time, which stacks the effects and leads to bad color.ģ. Whether evaluative or fixed, it all needs to be integrated into a single tool to avoid a “stacking” effect. “Evaluative” profiles (like AutoNeutral and AutoWarm) typically outperformed “fixed” film profiles.Ģ. This means i can convert batches of frames and only reprocess a few in NLP.Īnd yes! I did a ton of testing on “film specific profiles” a while back (ala Vuescan, Silverfast, ColorPerfect), and had a few conclusions from that testing that heavily influenced the design of Negative Lab Pro:ġ. Basically the defaults just work unlike SilverFast where you need to fiddle about choosing films and even in some cases editing profiles. This means i can convert batches of frames and only reprocess a few in NLP.Ī good job particular impressed with the colour cast removal / conversion in NLP. I’m particular impressed with the colour cast removal / conversion in NLP. ![]() If i was super diligent i’d save the raw HDRi format too but have decided not to buy the HDRi license required as wasn’t impressed with the demo and if i’m going to fiddle with the images prefer to use better tools - NLP / lightroom / Photoshop / Pixelmator With HDRi wasn’t that impressed with the Silverfast’s HDR software (its basically the same as Silverfast 9 AI but with an additional cost). In all these cases dust and scratches were an issue. ![]() I experimented with Sillverfast raw HDRi, DNG and tried Epson Scan and Epson Scan 2 without adding much value. I’m getting similar results with both but in general NLP gives me a more pleasing result. Seems a bit over the top but find negative to positive is a good point to set up the frames. My workflow now is scan negative to positive with Silverfast 9 AI and scan positive with iSRD for NLP both at 3200 dpi 48 bit TIFF.
