    This DOES work for NLP....You just have to tell NLP to save a copy as a TIFF once it applies the conversion!

    I think it's silly when people say they don't edit their film scans! If you're having a lab develop & scan it for you, then you're basically allowing them to edit your film. Every scanner has slightly different colors, and there is no such thing as "unedited" film. There is 0 harm in doing minor color/light corrections to your film, to get them closer to how you remember the scene or how you'd like them to look.
    Awesome video, I will definitely be using this tip!!

    • @meatismurder111
      @meatismurder111 8 місяців тому +1

      I agree! My first film roll I didn’t edit it at all because it was my first roll and it turned out very great and I was happy with the result and I think choosing which lab to develop is very important, I guess that helps a lot. My second roll is damaged and I still wanted to develop it and went to different lab, but turn out not so great, I think they don’t really edit it because all the photos are totally green, I have to edit it all and do it just how I wanted it to be. The first lab I went was a great one and more expensive than the second but totally worth it and they definitely edit it too

    • @Sea0fTime
      @Sea0fTime 7 місяців тому

      Unless your first roll of film was reversal (slide) film or you left it as a negative it was edited. Any time negative film is printed or scanned it's edited by default, even if you are getting a scan of just the negative and leaving it as a negative image. The scan software itself is editing it on capture. If the scanned negative is inverted into a positive image it's rarely left that way so most likely got more edits for color and white balance. If, as in your example, the scan was too green it was still edited, it was just a poor edit. @@meatismurder111

  • @akaYu07
    @akaYu07 2 роки тому +10

    It still works 100% with negative lab pro. Just make a positive copy and edit that. Essentially what you’re doing manually is what negative lab pro is doing as well. It just gets thrown off by random peaks on the histogram that aren’t part of the actual image. That’s why scans with a bright light source tend to be too dark because negative lab pro tries to preserve the highest values in the image.

    You have no idea how grateful I am that you did this. I've wasted a lot of time tweaking film with weird colors. Once in a blue moon there will be a few that I like and keep it that way for creative purposes. Everything else will just be thrown into the abyss of my drawer hanging around with negatives I've neglected.

    The only way to see the ‘true’ positive film image is to make an optical (i.e. analog) print from the negative on film, paper, or any other positive print media.
    That's why our film emulation sampling technique is based on optical printing. We are recently released our plugin for Ps and Lr, it would be interesting to hear what do you think of it.

    Hi Linus - really enjoyed the video but having a bit of a confused moment here. I've had all of my film balanced by a lab until recently when I requested TIFFs straight from the scanner, and have gone down the rabbit hole of colour-correcting scans. What I'm really struggling with is how this relates to different film stocks, for example something like Kodak Gold and its stronger yellow/brown cast or some of the vibrant greens of Fuji stocks - does balancing scans not remove the unique colour profile of the film itself? How do you know what the film "should" look like when applying these changes to scans?
    From my perspective it seems like balancing scans would mean you'd basically get the same-looking image regardless of what stock you used (within reason) but I think I must be missing something!
    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks :)

    This technique works even better in Photoshop. In PS you can make a curves adjustment layer giving you all the benefits that come from working in layers. Also a huge benefit in PS is if you hold the alt / option key down while moving the end points on the curve adjustment you will get a clipping display on your image that shows very clearly where that color starts to appear in your image, helping to know precisely where you should place your point. This is especially helpful if you keep the film borders as part of your scan.
