Hi there
Are there any good tools exist for scanning negatives with high-end
scanner? Or calibrating such a process?
Very straightforward way would be shooting the colour chart, processing,
scanning, inverting and creating a profile; did anybody tried this? Any
thoughts?
I've found Lasersoft referenced a lot in this regard, but somehow their
web site is not responding...
Thanks in advance
Boris

If you always shot perfectly-exposed negs, and your processing was
always absolutely consistent, the method you're suggesting might
work, but the orange mask varies dramatically with exposure, and I
don't anyone who shoots perfectly-exposed negs. I tried it a few
years ago and gave up.
A method I've found to be quick and very effective is to let the
scanner handle the neg-to-pos conversion, and scan raw 16-bit, then
follow the process I outline in

Basically, it's a three-move process that invariably gets me 90% of
where I need to be.
