Thank you for this video. I could not scan b&w negatives from our daughter's 1990 wedding by reading the Epson manual. Now, thanks to you (put it on Professional) we have a nice surprise, collage for her and son'law's 30th wedding anniversary. Amen.
The reason behind blue-ish tint is simple: when you disable the auto-exposure setting the scanner software just inverts the image it captured from film, without any corrections. Film has quite strong brown tint to it, which is obvious during the process of generating previews. So when software inverts the image-- you get blue instead of brown.
Of course, the information is still there (because tiff), so you can get the same (or better) results if you leave the auto setting off and then color-correct yourself after the fact in Lightroom. What you can also do is you can take a picture of color correction card for every film you use and then create individual presets in Lightroom.
Hi Nathan, just wanted to say thank you very much for this video. I recently found some of my very old 35mm negatives from a trip hubby and I did in 1978 and have been scanning madly since watching your tutorial. I am amazed at how clear the resulting photos have come out. Now, to work out if I can scan my old smaller negatives. Cheers, Anne
Like Julie e, I had no idea how to use the scanner to view/save/print the pictures from negatives. You have a good way to describing a procedure. Looking forward to more videos. Thank you!
Thank you! I just got a bunch of film back but didn't want to pay the extra $8+ per roll for a scans so I was trying to do it myself at home. Obviously now I see their scanner is going to be so much better than what I'm working with but thanks to you I can actually get a decent result!
Thank you, I wasn't sure if I want to buy this scanner but you made me decide. Now I definitelly know that I will buy it, great video and thank you again. Have a nice day!
I followed your instructions to the letter with my slides. Fail! After more searching I found another video that said to use 'positive film'. Success. That worked for me. I am not sure how you got the results you did by using colour negative. Using the home mode was much quicker and just as good for me. I tried both but found home mode very simple.
Thank you so much for this video: I picked up this scanner after many years and thanks to you I could quickly get back in the saddle. Cheers! I hope it'll still work with Windows 11, but somehow I doubt it 😔
Results are looking pretty satisfactory to me... Thinking of buying this to convert some of my negatives into digital photos....this printer sounds promising for the task.🤗🤗
Thanks for the vid! I wanted to buy one of these scanners anyway, but needed to see some sample photos first. Your pictures turned out awesome, so I'm sold. It's nice when affordability and quality can coexist in the same product.
Imagine going to Chinese language forum and adding comments in Punjabi. That's how you look like when you use a different language when a forum is in another language.
Thanks! Very instructive video. I have purchased a V300 2nd hand, and I suppose it works almost the same. And I also suppose that the software program that you use can be downloaded from Epson's homepage. My mother, deceased, left a lot of slides. Have lot of work to do, but this video makes it possible. Thanks again.
Helpful video. I am using your setting to good results. Would have liked the option of 120 film scanning in this machine. But a good basic scanner nonetheless. Thank you for posting this video.
Someone can help me? I have bought an epson v370 today, i try to install the epson scanner software opening "install navi" on the cd, but it says that Epson have to update the application. Now, i'm not a professional photographer and I don't want to pay for a Vuescan or something like that. What can i do? Is there any update download from epson site? I do not see any on their site. Please help me, thanks a lot. Elia
You need Epson Scan 2, download from here epson.com/Support/Scanners/Perfection-Series/Epson-Perfection-V330-Photo/s/SPT_B11B200211?review-filter=macOS+10.15.x
at 1.00 you say that the back side of the film needs to be facing upwards. Which side is the back? To make it clear,,, when the holder is in place on the scanner bed waiting only for the top to be closed,, would we see the shiny side of the film or the dull side facing up?
Like for the video. Tell me if anyone knows what is the reason for the error "The image size is too large. Specify a smaller resolution or scale, or the size of the selected area up to 10500x30000 pixels"
Hi Nathan thank you for this instruction video you have explained how to use the v370 unit really well. Can you advise is it better to use apple or windows I have thousands of photos. Thankyou
Hi Nathan,my self from India, Recently purchase Epson V370 scanner. I have 35 mm slides of Himalayas, like to scan. I am getting magenta tone in slide.Can you guide what specification we have to keep to scan slide. Like, Image Type and resolution.
Great demo ! THanks ! Do you know how long it would take to scan the pictures at a much lower resolution ? (let us say 200 dpi) ? I want to use the pictures for a PPT presentation that does not require very high resolution. I am more concerned with the time it takes. Thanks again.
Hi there! thank you very much for the video!! I have a question though, cause i am scanning my black and white negatives but I noticed that the contrast is really high in the preview and I don't like. I also notice that the unsharp mask is stuck to medium, as in if I select low it automatically changes back...Do you have any suggestions on what I could try? Thanks a lot!!!
Hi Nathan sorry another question. I have quite a few 126 film negatives and I know the negative holder supplied with the scanner doesn’t take them but do you think would it possible to fabricate a thin cardboard “jig” to allow them to fit inside the supplied frame or not?
Hello Nathan, What is the maximum size of a negative that I could scan with this scanner? I have some really old family pictures on 60x60mm black and white negatives. Would this be an option? thanks
Thank you! Very helpful! What would you recommen for domestic use for scanning negatives? This would be ok or the v550 should be better? Thank you again!
I see that you no longer have this scanner, but would you say this is good enough for small prints? From what you shared, it looks like it should be. Thanks
I have a ton of slides and negatives from cleaning out my Mother’s house...I had no idea my Epson could scan these. Thank you so much! One question...I do not have Lightroom or Photoshop...is there anything online that is easy to learn for photo editing that you could suggest? Thanks again
For some strange reason only one image is being saved. I make sure I have all of them highlighted. In the preview before I save at the end, I see the 5 or 6 frames I'm scanning. Then, I go to the folder and it's only the first frame? I'm confused. I'm quite tech savvy for this is mind-boggling. EDIT: My bad. Was scanning at multi-tiff. Thanks
Thanks for this video, I was wondering if it is possible to scan the full strip of 6 images as one image without the auto 35mm cropping? I am doing double exposure panoramas and want to scan the entire strip as one. Many thanks if you can help, Sam.
My scans are coming out not in focus. I’m wondering how this could be adjusted? I’m sure my negatives are focused as I have done them on another scanner before and everything was ok. Anyway to help fix this?
There isn’t anyway of focusing these scanners. Sometimes you can raise up the negative holder using very thin wedges which sometimes can help if the negative is warped. I use a credit card under each corner
Probably a late answer, but here it goes: Yes, it can. But there's no holder for 110 films. However, the old film strips from my family album, there are pieces of paper taped to the film and I'm able to fit it in the 35mm holder.
