The Internet Archive Software Collection is the largest vintage and historical software library in the world, providing instant access to millions of programs, CD-ROM images, documentation and multimedia. I scan all frames and cull in Lightroom, like I do with RAW files. I do all processing in Lightroom, as it is easier to get a overall correct result as you can see the thumbnails as they have been corrected in relation to each other. Epson makes some good quality flatbed scanners with the V550 and V600 at the top of the list in amount of value vs purchase price. I scan very loosely leaving a lot of headroom at 16 bit and 3200dpi. I use a V800 and have done over 10 years of my family pictures, using myriad types of negative films. It is more intuitive and forgiving compared to Silverfast and gives really good results for all types of negatives. I find that the Epson software, which is much derided, is really excellent and also very powerful, if you want to go down that road. Yes, used the Epson Scan software in Pro mode.

I have moved to using an old slide copier I have, results are sharper, 24 mp gives me a bigger file than a 3200ppi scan, but color conversion is more difficult. I have a V700, I have found only the pro section of the software works, the auto scans aren't nearly as good. I did no color correcting during or after the scan.ĭid you use the Epson software, Pro section? I have been impressed with color negatives I have scanned with different base densities and they come out well. I should also says that I'm impressed with the color fidelity of the scans.
