Dayton, Ohio, 2023

            Negative scanning: not quite there yet

I am continuing to work on my negative scanning skills with mixed but improving results. This is my latest conversion. The photo was taken on Kodak Portra 400 exposed at ISO 200. I'm not sure that this was the best approach and will be shooting at 320 in my next experiment. One stop of overexposure adds saturation and appears to do some odd things to the sky (or is it that my skills at converting negatives and color correction are simply not there yet?).

For this one, I digitized the film using my Canon EOS R and my trusty Sigma 105mm Macro. Upon importing into Adobe Lightroom, I used the Enhance command, which refines the quality of raw files and creates an enhanced DNG file. I converted the DNG file using Negative Lab Pro, which gave me better colors than Negmaster for some reason. I then finished processing the image in Photoshop.

Any hints, critiques, advice, and/or other input is cordially requested. Any questions will be answered to the best of my ability.
