  1. ColorPerfect (Color Neg) takes the linear scan from Vuescan and applies negative "profiles" for specific films to it to produce a positive color image. I will then take this image and do a BW conversion using one of many tools (color channels, Silver Efex Pro, etc.). I actually was aiming this question at anyone who is familiar with ColorPerfect regarding whether I need to tweak the process of making the color positive if the intention is to then convert to BW. Thanks!
  2. Hello I am shooting mainly Kodak Portra 400 film. My intention is to scan it with a Nikon 4000 ED scanner using Vuescan to create raw linear scans and ColorPerfect ColorNeg to produce the color image. I plan to convert some of the photographs to black and white. My question to you is: If my intention is to ultimately convert the image to black and white are there any special considerations or settings I should use when I do the initial processing of the raw vuescan file in ColorPerfect before converting to black and white using one of the established techniques in Photoshop? As of now my workflow will be: scan the negative to a linear Vuescan file, process he file using ColorPerfect, and then convert the file to black and white. Is there a better way to do this (outside of using a silver BW film or chromogenic BW film). Thanks!
