Anthony, Your lessons and Quick Tips are the best on the internet. Down to earth training done with words we all can understand. Episode 44 really amazed me. Now I will have to dig thru all my old negatives. About the same with Black and White?
I want to thank tremendously for your video. I used many techniques and yours produce results right on top notch... Thank you once again. You are life saver!
Fantastic tutorial, thank you, I think the blue/green cast is due to the orange mask that is added to the negative, I think it is added to even out the differences in the wave lengths of light, but I am not sure
Good video, Anthony. It's always sad when I hear about family members who clean house and throw out the old, irreplaceable negatives. I remind folks at reunions to save their negatives. Most don't know how easy it is to make positives.
Thank you very much!!!! Thank you very much!!!! Thank you very much!!!! Thank you very much!!!! Thank you very much!!!! Thank you very much!!!! Thank you very much!!!!
Great vid! Especially helpful is your commentary on the way the controls are altered. The great thing about sliders is that you can just play with them until you get the result you want and then process to JPG/TIFF, but it's nice knowing from the start how things have changed and why. The other thing I've found about scanning colour negatives (I do it on my DSLR with a slide holder mounted on a macro lens) is that I have this horrible blue tint from the orange colour mask on the film, but the white balance part of your vid should sort that out.
I assume you are notified of comments on even old UA-cam videos. After reversing the tone curve on an imported b&w negative, I exported the image as a .tiff file (also as a .psd) file. After re-importing the files, I could utilize the development sliders in their normal way (not reversed, or whites swapped with blacks, etc). What do you think of this technique? I have not experimented enough to determine if there is a denigration of the image due to export-import step.
This is fantastic! Thank you again for being a magician of Lightroom! Do you have any advice to help scan older negatives? Are there settings I should use, things I should be aware of and tips to scan them to produce the best quality? I have a ton of black and white negatives from my college days and would love to bring them into lightroom and into my library. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Mind blown currently! So as a beginner using film I don't need to use a dark room to convert my negatives into photograph prints? Am I missing something here???
Thanks a lot. This is super useful. Thanks a million again When u find time, could you please help me get the answers for 1. Choosing a midgray area: should this be white based or can this also be a color shade that has K% to be 50?? 2. What if my image doesn't have a white based mid-gray? How should I adjust the white balance? 3. Is there a way to identify the mid gray areas in a picture? I tried the threshold method but that gives inconsistent results. Thank you
Tim Bogdanov Yes that works. If you haven't gotten an answer yet this is what to do. You can always just hold it up but if you have two pieces of glass to sandwich it between to keep it flat that will help. Use strong back lighting and your closest lens and take a picture so it looks bright enough. If I'm doing it for a friend and don't have my film scanner I use my camera flash with a diffuser on it for the back lighting.
Hi my "Tone Curve" option does not have a selectable region, and I can't get my cursor to move the curve up. It is a static pointer cursor and I do not know how to change it. I am new to this and really only need it for converting film so any help would be really appreciated.
Wow . I don't know how to thank u. Saying only THANK U SIR is rating U 0 out of 10. For me its been a great help to understand Lightroom, and I'm still learning through ur Videos. I do respect those who gave u a thumb down. but some did say Y . But as far as I'm conversent with Lightroom and Photoshop u r just amazing SIR. I wish u continue helping us to improve in ze adobe. Just c how many likes compares to with dislike . BIG THANKS SIR.
Anthony,

Just did this by taking a picture of the negative against a soft box and presto! Thank you for this video.
Thanks Tony, this is very helpful. I am going take the first few adjustments and make preset, the I can make fine adjustments to each photo as needed.

really useful information anthony thank you
what happened at 1:24 is magic !
Thanks a lot my friend. Its very helpful
BRAVO!! Well done sir
I have saved the inverted tone curve as a preset. Makes it a faster conversion.
I can only say, Thanks! Its very helpful
Thanks, great video! Can you process scanned slides using LR as well? Thanks again.

Kinda like the film days but in digital, awesome concept!
hartelijk dank voor de heldere uitleg Anthony :)
Well done!
Thank you
Mind blown 🤯
I'm just learning this technique in 2017. Thanks
Awesome Video Love it!!
THANK YOU!!!!!
Great video ;)
does this effect depend on the certain camera you used to capture this image? because i want my color and image quality to be processed this exact way
In PhotoShop it is only Ctrl+I. Why would Adobe not do that in LR I wonder.
Mind blown currently!

My goodness. Humans are amazing.
Anthony Morganti do i have to get the film made in the lab then shoot it with a dslr and then take it into lightroom?
