Robert, I have read manual for ColorNeg, according to it there is a possibility to create a mask in Photoshop. Also Dunthorn mentioned this possibility when I asked him. I found creation of a mask on non-inverted negative not simple and did not try it. If you find how to do it you are welcome to share

Yep,

what I enjoy now is the full tonal range, esp. improved dark tones.

Highlights are not the best, I got better highlights on scans from Noritsu(but shadows there leave more to be desired)

And skin tones are more pleasant.

 

Rob, I got your answer by e-mail. By the way, it's me on a photo 3 years ago:)

Hi guys!

First of all - the image was scanned with 1.0 Gamma.

After I wrote my question here I asked author of ColorNeg about this.

He answered immediately and helped me.

What I did I lowered lightness and began searching appropriate neutral point by clicking possible areas. The good point I found on head. it was black hair that yield color MUCH better.

So now I know what to do. What is rest of correction after ColorNeg filter is orange or magenta cast which is easy to correct. I found that colors are better than made manually. Here is one example I got after http://album.foto.ru/photo/337146/ - with ColorNeg.

Things get better now.:) Thanks to all !<div></div>

Hello all,

I see there are people who are satisfied with ColorNeg. Me not.

I cannot get the good results with ColorNeg with 80% of my negatives. I invert negatives manually after scanning as slides. Here is uploaded one of scans: http://www.box.net/shared/sgtqfpin7q

ColorNeg process gives greenish look and too highlighted face. I set Fuji Superia Xtra 400 profile. Other profiles also not help. Here is the result I get manually: http://album.foto.ru/photo/311076/

The reason that I want to use ColorNeg is that in 20% it gives better results than I manually(and in no-time in comparison with my work). I want to get more or less good results with ColorNeg. I read ColorNeg manuals and tried modification of parameters in the plugin but could not reach good result. If somebody of you can get better results with my scan (again http://www.box.net/shared/sgtqfpin7q) please write to me how to do it.<div></div>
