<p>Wow, nice Rory, great to see your workflow thanks for that, and great results. I tried DSLR scanning with my 550d a while back, but quickly realised how fiddly and unsatisfying the results were, particularly for medium format. Some of you guys here seem to have got some really great results though! Mostly out of impatience (and lack of a really decent DSLR) I opted for a flatbed negative scanner which I've been really happy with.<br /><br />I'm definitely going to try manually inverting all the channels after reading Rory's post, but doing it on every picture in a roll of film is painful. I normally let the scanner invert the negative for me with no other colour correction. Then I use photoshop with a really handy automation to set up layers for setting the white black and grey points with the help of the threshold effect (let me know and I'll post an explainer too if you like). I can then manually grade to preference.<br /><br />In terms of dust & scratch removal, I really hate the automatic ICE things, they take out stuff that aren't dust and scratches sometimes and leave ugly splotches. For me, by far the most accurate and quickest way to do it is with the photoshop spot healing brush tool, it's absolute magic! Way better than the 'traditional' stamp tool.</p>
