Given that I'm using a v old camera with a poor lens, the results aren't too bad. Some films scan differently, for example Fuji 100 was perfect but my Fuji 400 scans a bit green.īasically, I scan it in a bit flat and then use photoshop, not scanner software, to sort it out. I sort the white balance out in photoshop. I just use the scanning software that came with it and integrates with photoshop.

I tried placing the film directly on the glass but that sometimes causes Newton rings and somehow affects the colour as well. I've been scanning some medium format film, but the colours seem a bit dull in Arcsoft Photostudio, while they're oversaturated and very dark in Silverfast when I use the Negafix settings for the used film.Īlso the medium format film holders that came with the CanoScan 8800F aren't easy to use, the film often is bended or comes loose. How to make sure the white balance is true?Īnd how to get the right contrast and brightness? How to get the best, most realistic colours? How to get the best results with a CanoScan 8800F?
