This tutorial - especially the part about not doing the white balance if scanning at 2.2 gamma (and editing on the color positive copy) made suuuuuch a huge difference in my results. Thank you!!!! 💛
If I remember correctly the biggest thing to look into is the optical resolution. Search this up in some photography forums and they will have a deep breakdown on the scanners and optimal settings
"I find that a little bit of dust and scratches definitely adds the uniqueness of film, Film is definitely not meant to be a perfect format" "So having these little imperfections is nice and adds a nice ecstatic." Wait, whattttttt? Hold up, were you listening to what you were saying? I am so sorry but this is unacceptable and irresponsible e to be said by a RU-vidr that influences so many viewers. Photographers used to shoot on film only, and there are many other professional photographers that shot film then and now to make a living including me. Dust and scratches are mistakes, if you were talking about old family photos with dust and scratches, that is a storeage problem, not an add-on ecstatic. Film shots can be perfect, and the commercial shots you saw growing up as a kid were all film. Come on, with all these subscribers, I bet you can do better than saying those at the beginning of a tutorial video.
It’s not that serious haha. It’s a home scan. For professional work and publications it should be drumscanned. But for general scans at home dust and imperfections are fine. Not worth spending hours getting dust out of shots that aren’t going to be large prints or viewed by many
