Apologies forgot to put my name on the bottom.......
Im keen to hear anyone else's experiences with the following. 3yrs ago I switched from shooting Trannies to colour neg mainly 160 nps/npc(35mm) This was partly due to changes in my work direction (shooting mainly stock now) and the fact that I live in deepest Somerset and e6 is pain/hassle to get developed. Recently I started to undertake my own scanning (minolta 5400 scanner)and supplying the ridiculous 100mb files to my stock libraries. Now I have learnt the hard way that scanning negs is a pain and Imp considering going back to shooting Provia 100. I want to know before doing this if anyone else has experiences or tips on scanning negs,I scan in 16bit as a positive and invert the files in photoshop and correct the colour balance in levels.This part is fine except shadows always seem on the red side plus the images always seem grainy especially in the shadows but Im not sure that is not just down to the file sizes Im having to scan to or just the side effect of scanning negatives. Certainly scanning provia is much less hassle but I still have a large archive that needs to be scanned. Any comments would be interesting.
