Look at the histogram, if you have good black and white points, without blown highlights or clipped shadows it means the scanner has gathered as much information as it is possible to do, even if they look flat.
Yes of course you can scan a negative and make it come out positive without having to invert it in Lightroom, but it is so long since I used Silverfast that I can't remember which drop box you need to go to.Ī flat scan, from either your Plustek or your Epson is ideal. Using either scanner do not use any dust removal software, it will degrade the scans. There is no way that an Epson V750 will scan a 35mm negative better than the Plustek. Any kind of tip is welcome (even regarding other software solutions). I would really appreciate to get some feedback from experienced film users. which is pretty crazy! Have you developed any efficent routine to make all that tasks (scanning, cutting frames, inverting images, basic autoadjustment of the curves in lightroom) ? What about the mass scanning features of silverfast? I am spending hours scanning my negatives. Does Silverfast HDR provide any good help ? What is your experience with this tool? How is the integration with silverfast 8 SE? Do you experience the same issues ? It still have my Plustek optifilm 7600i scanner which seems to perform better.

It seems that the scanner is not able to scan at various "light intensities" in order to get the full dynamic range of that film. Nevertheless, I find silverfasts output quite flat with a very shallow black/gray/white "spectrum". In Silverfast I simply adjust the paramters of the "Negafix" tab. I understad curve/editing stuff which I normally do in Lightroom afterwards. Is it possible with silverfast 8 SE to scan negatives and make silverfast invert the negative to get a positive ? (I have to start photoshop afterwards to to that, pretty annoying!) as an IT guy with a masters in computer science, I find all these softwares pretty poor (very bad user interface, bad auto correction modes, bad packaging and even some ridiculous website/documentation translations - which I opened in french and german today!).Ĭould some of you try to answer to my questions ? I thought it would perform better that the Plustek.
I started with a single frame 35mm scanner (Plustek optifilm 7600i) a few months ago and have acquired one epson v750 scanner this week.

I am slowly learning how to develop BW film at home (trying to develop delta 3200 and TriX in DD-X and rodinal recently). I am still playing around with my leica and also got some medium format cameras (hassy 500, fuji 645zi) since.
