If you can help, that would be great.

• original scan either DSLR or film scanner
• no external editing

I've just uploaded four files, taken on a Rolleiflex TLR some years ago and scanned on an Epson 4990 flatbed.

Hi Ian, I've uploaded 3 frames from my Rolleicord Vb scanned on my Epson V700 using Epson scan. And I've added a couple of 5x4 frames as well, again the V700 and Epson scan.

Thank you, thats great. Out of interest do you have any which have not been conterted to a positive

 

[Francis R]

No because I use Silverfast which automaticaly convert to positive.

I see you are using the D810 for the scanning, how are you normally converting from negative to positive

I mostly just convert using the tone curve and reversing it, though on occasion I use the NLP plugin in Lightroom, which I use mostly for colour photos.
