<p>Dear Janusz,<br>

Thank you for your help. After a quick processing in LR (+0,78 exposure &-98 yellow Hue) it works like a beauty.<br>

Your script trully rocks</p>

 

<p>Dear Janusz,<br />I ve followed exactly the instruction in both pages, and I did get decent results, I was just wondering whether you get direct fine colours or you need to tweek it a little in LR? Furthermore I would like to ask 3 more things:<br />1. Is there any command while processing many files so as to get .jpg and not .tif<br />2. Could you be more detailed re the profiles action of negfix<br />3. Is there any ready preset for LR in order to bring the photos to a normal level? I was thinking of scanning an IT8 target and import it to LR and try to create a preset for all the scanned negatives<br />thnx</p>

<p>Dear Janusz,<br>

Im new to negfix8. I must confess Im really impressed with your script. I was struggling to find a way to scan decently negatives with my humble Canon 8800F. Now with Vuescan & negfix it is the 1st time Im happy with the results.<br>

I need to ask you one think. The result is a clean picture but with a dark blue colour layer all over. this is something i can tweek it in Lightroom but is it my mistake or this is how it should go???<br>

Thnx<br>

<p>I ll do some scans and I ll post them within the day for further reference</p>

<p>Hi all,<br>

I'm struggling to start scanning a bunch of various old negatives for 3 months now. I've been through every single thread, tutorial, question manual I found on the net and ofcourse this present site. I followed every tip, guideline and advise in order to success in 1 good scan from my Canon 8800f but with no luck. I tried canon s/w, silverfast, colorneg and I ended up in Vuescan (after reading douzens of reviews).<br>

The main point is to scan a tif file of every frame import it to lightroom and adjust it inthere. I don't want to use photoshop (it is complicated for me) and i want to avoid canon s/w since it gives me low level scans. For the above purpose I bought a Q60 it8 target (slide) in order to calibrate my scaner.<br>

1. My first attemp was to follow the advanced workflow of VS as per various advices. Scan a black piece of film in neutral colour without filters in 48b, generic film etc. The result was mediocre<br>

2. After that I calibrated my scanner following VS manual and used the icc profile in the above procedure. Red colours were too bright and fluorecent.<br>

3. I created a new icc profile with Scarse which when I assign it in photoshop and converted to adobeRGB i have a great result in the scanned it8target (slide) but negatives again look like crap. Following Roger Smith's (hope he is reading this) advice i run into <a href="http://www.jingai.com/scanningguide">www.jingai.com/scanningguide</a> and took every signle step.<br>

4. My last attemp was to follow this procedure <a title="blocked::http://www.kodachromeproject.com/forum/showthread.php?t=558" href="http://www.kodachromeproject.com/forum/showthread.php?t=558">http://www.kodachromeproject.com/forum/showthread.php?t=558</a> and end up with an acceptable tif after proceessing it in lightroom.<br>

QUESTIONS<br>

1. Start from scratch using my it8 target (slide) as a guideline is it necessary and how?<br>

2. Do I need to assign icc profile during scaning in VS and if yes in which stage, when locking the film base colour or after that during the normal frame scanning?<br>

3. Is someone kind enough to write down a step by step proceedure for negatives scanning in vuescan and provide some help?<br>
