![]() ![]() But if you’ve got a lot of film you want to scan, perhaps you’ve inherited some from relatives, this is a great method to get them all onto the computer quickly. So, use whichever software you feel most comfortable with. ![]() But inverting the image and tweaking things is pretty simple to do in Adobe Camera Raw or Photoshop already, so I’d be hard pressed to spend $99 on a Lightroom plugin just for working with negatives. I was frustrated with the hassles of setting up the Epson Perfection V700 scanner (it is very good, though) every time I developed more rolls. If negatives, a very elegant solution allowing you to work in the raw format is to use Negative Lab Pro version 2 as a plug-in to Adobe Lightroom, where you can enjoy the whole integrated process from ingestion/cataloguing to editing in both applications to outputting for Web, Print or Books. I’ve used this technique myself before with the Nikon D800 mounted to an enlarger stand. ![]() This is a Lightroom 6 & Lightroom Classic CC plugin that allows you to quickly and easily (at least from what I can see on Matt’s videos) work with your negative raw files. The Plustek 8200 keeps being recommended, but it looks to good to be true. Matt uses Negative Lab Pro for his process. The video above is for black & white film, but Matt’s also posted about “scanning” colour film with this method, and the differences it can entail. Professional labs do great work, but the cost has risen pretty much across the board in. Here in the UK, high street stores like Snappy Snaps and Boots aren’t exactly cheap, and the quality of their work is often disappointing. Developing and scanning film can be expensive. If your light panel is significantly larger than the film, you’ll want to probably cover some of it up with black gaffer tape as Matt has in his setup. We Review Negative Lab Pro and Interview its Creator, Nate Johnson. With the Fuji X-T3 mounted above, he can happily and quickly snap away at all his film while using a remote trigger to prevent vibrations. Matt uses a fairly standard copy stand, typically designed for photographing documents, but has could an LED panel that fits perfectly on top of its base onto which he can lay his negatives. But he also shoots a Fujifilm X-T3, and uses this to “scan” his film into the computer. It’s pretty much what 99% of his YouTube channel’s about. If you’ve heard of Matt before, you know that he shoots a lot of film. ![]()
