Started photography in the 1970s. Kept all the negatives after printing (and giving prints away). I think I may have a little project on my hands. Thanks for the video. Very informative.
THANK YOU! I'm getting started with film photography and want to do it as cheaply as possible - thanks for showing how to do it without an expensive plugin! Excited to try this :)
Currently in the process of going through 50+ years of negatives to find the images I want to archive for the family. Black and white was easy to figure out, color not so much. Thanks for the very useful tips. Subscribed.
I just started shooting and developing B&W and color film again. This video is exactly what I was looking for re: editing in LR. Thank you so much for posting this. Great job!
Thank you so much for this video. It’s simple and straight to the point. I recently got into film and plan to scan my own film. This video helps a lot!
Thank you so much Ribsy for this very informative video and for sharing your process! Today I have developed my very first color negative film. I scan my films with my camera, so converting my negatives in Lightroom is perfect for me. I have already been doing that with my bnw film for a while but had no idea how to get rid of the orange with color film. I especially like workflow #2 which gives me more control. Again, thx a lot!
You deserve way more subscriptions dude! Even though I'm not bound to these methods anymore since I use Negative Lab Pro this video stil remind me of my early days and first steps in film photography. I used to edit every channel in the tone curve and editing a whole 35mm film was sooo time consuming. :/ Still nicely explained which made it a joy to watch and a nice channel as well!
thanks for watching! yea, things can get very tedious over time. i've eliminated some steps from my workflow so i could keep things fluid and fun. just as i use different cameras, i now use different processing and scanning methods.
@@ribsy I now feel like I put way too much effort in it! :D I almost did it the way like you in workflow #2 except for the following: I inverted every RGB channel and dragged the beginning and the end of the lines toward the middle until the histogram showed the triangle of pure black/white areas then I had a good starting point and just had to edit the middle of the curves into the direction I needed to fix a colourshift completely but I guess you can imagine how much time just one image takes - and now imagine a whole film. Oh my gosh...
I Work similar way on individual curves instead of RGB curve. Keep eye on the histogram's each colour - especially at highlights to get white and shadows for black - while working on white balance, calibration, tone curves . . .
Hey - thanks. I scan the negatives on the flatbed scanner without the negative holder. Alternatively, you can do dslr scan and get the full border too. As long as the film is straight and not curving excessively, it should be easy to do.
Get Vuesan....choose File as source and it does all the magic. U can convert several shots at once. Pay one, use lifetime. And it comes with drivers for thousands of scanners.
