I'm still a bit lost. I'm used to working with digital files. Say I want a 24-36ish megapixel file. I know with my Epson V700 scanner, if I'm scanning 35mm film, I should set a setting of around ...

Just started to get into scanning negatives. Why is drum scanning quoted in MBs (e.g. 200mb, etc) instead of DPIs? I always think of my scans either in terms DPI (for printing) or total megapixels ...

Anyone?...

Do you think it’s a problem with shooting or some step in editing / post-production? I included an ARW file in the original post in case you want to take a look

Yes, I am balancing every roll. I color balance on the blank strips of the negative on either side. And then sync the settings to every photo in that roll. Then I crop the photos so basically only ...

I find I’m getting wildly fluctuating and inconsistent results (especially color temp) from batch converting the photos from the same roll and the same scan in NLP. My process is, I import the raw ...

Curious if you have any opinions on SmartConvert vs NLP? First time I’m hearing of SmartConvert a a brief look at its website reveals it has an auto cropping feature which seems useful

I was scanning the matte emulsions side. But I discovered the issues: I left too much border before running them through NLP which messed up its algorithms. When I cropped to only include the ...

it was manual exposed in m mode. I think the aperture was f11, shutter 1/10s and iso100 the light meter says I was at +\- 0, and I didn’t want to stray too far. I figured since I was at iso 100 I ...

Im using a Sony mirrorless, the A7R III. The besides, since Im shooting raw, I dont think the picture controls in camera matter?

I tried getting a few rolls scanned at a local place that has a Hasselblad X5 scanner. It’s also scanning aged negatives, so any differences can’t be because the negatives deteriorated because of ...

That was very detailed and helpful, thanks. A lot of history

yes I saw the terrible blooming thing on the lower right. Buts it’s visible on the Walgreens scan as well so I assume it’s from the negative? How dark do I need to make the room for camera ...

that was extremely detailed and helpful. Thanks a lot! but I’m curious if you have any suggestions on where I might have gone wrong? I noticed other people don’t usually turn off ambient lights in ...

I've been scanning my old negatives with my camera (Sony A7R III and a Canon 100 Macro lens with a 35mm film carrier). I've noticed that some of the negatives come out looking very faded, with ...

I think the fact that they're 25 years old at this point may have something to do with my difficulty in removing them

So I’m supposed to rip them off?

Some of my old negatives have these Kodak covers. I can’t seem to get them off easily. And am afraid if I rip them will, it will negative the negative or leave residue on the film. what are these ...

Yes, that's what inspired me to look for a solution. But that's only for the D850, and I don't have that unfortunately. Also, if you put it into that mode, it only does JPG, and I want raw files. I ...

I’ve started to scan my old 35mm negatives with my Sony A7R III and a Canon 100mm Macro lens. I also have a Canon DSLR body. Sometimes, I find it hard to align the photos completely in the center ...
