How To Scan 35mm and 120 Film - IN DEPTH - Epson v600 - SilverFast - Negative Lab Pro

[@film_friends]

Hey guys, ask any questions about scanning with the V600 and I will answer and help ya through it. also reach out on IG @1willcobb for direct convo help if you need. I am here to get you guys going! also welcome if you came from the developing video :D

[@Jorge-125]

I just bought a Epson V600 and I'm running it on Windows. I've been looking for the Epson Scanner 2 app and I can't find it. Do you know if they offer it for both Windows and Mac?

[@film_friends]

@@Jorge-125 It should be on both windows and mac. Also, i think it is on the epson downloads page and/or in the drivers section of the printer on their website. I personally never really liked using it, that is why I trashed on it at the beginning of that section haha.

[@Jorge-125]

@@film_friends Alright thanks, I'll look for it! And thanks for the fast reply.

[@film_friends]

Of course

[@mauriciodomingo9193]

I may be a little late to reply but might as well give it a shot. I recently bout an rosin V600, downloaded all the software to my MacBook Pro tried scanning some negatives but the software doesn’t seem to want to scan, I tired on the rosin 2 software and works fine, any ideas?

[@davidkbrown]

Why is it that scanning software always looks like it stopped evolving in the mid 90s?

[@film_friends]

Gosh that’s so true. I have no dang idea. Get with the times people. I guess that’s when people stopped caring?

[@anthonymichael5846]

Probaly because thats around when digital photography gained a good amount of photographers who only used film until then. But I tell myself its for aesthetic purposes. 😅

[@akeslx]

No one printed anything since then 😂

[@robbyo1201]

Recording DAW software might be just as bad lol

[@MakeSomething]

All the respect for the IN DEPTH videos! Thank you!

[@film_friends]

Of. Course! That’s what I love doing!

[@Tychohuybers]

This is precisely the introduction to film that I was looking for. I really appreciate the explanations to everything, makes me feel much more confident about starting to develop and scan at home.

[@film_friends]

Yesssss that is what I like to hear! So glad i could help!

[@08h27min]

Same as the first video on the devlopment part, this was my to go on how to scan my films at home. Many thanks !

[@film_friends]

yay! thats so awesome to hear! thanks so much for the support!

DANG, this was amaaaazingly helpful!

[@film_friends]

So glad I could help!

[@Filippo-Parisi]

I used a V600 also for ages. Anyways I digitalize as 'backup' and to can choose quickly which frame I want to print in darkroom. Now I use Olympus E-M5 III with its 60mm macro lens using a repro stand, a slimlite at 5000 K, and insert the entire film (135 or 120) inside the Durst Sirioneg of my enlarger with the clear glass down. Once all this is ok (10 minutes), just few minutes to scan the whole film. And the quality is really stunning

[@film_friends]

That’s a good setup

[@BenjaminMoxham]

Have done a few scans recently after punching a scanner and NLP.... My god what a difference there is in quality. Previously haven't been very happy at all with lab scans from Frontier but now feel confident that I can develop and scan at home and have a much better image than what I can get from the labs here. Cheers for your help mate!

[@film_friends]

Yeah! It’s so great to do it yourself and have so much control!! Glad I could help

[@andhog4714]

what scanner are you using?

[@film_friends]

This is the epson v600

[@cedarandsound]

Seeing your 35mm shots just confirms why I don't shoot 35mm anymore, medium format just gets cleaner image results on 120 film.

[@film_friends]

Yeah it does!

[@clanky44]

Thank you kindly for the tutorial. Using Silverfast without tutorials for batch processing was painful, you've clarified the process immensely. If you'd like a foolproof way to apply noise reduction in Lightroom, zoom into an image up to 8:1 ( I'm using Lightroom 6 ) Use part of an image that is uniform in colour and smooth in texture. Then slide both the Luminance and Detail sliders all the way to the right (100%) and then slide back (left) on the Detail slider until the majority of the artifacts are gone. Then slide the Luminance slider left until you're happy with the noise/sharpness blend.

[@film_friends]

yeah thats a great way to do it!

[@bobd5119]

I laboriously scan individual 120 negs. Three microns of the neg's edges rest on the V600 holder. It takes a steady hand to get the loaded holder onto the scanner bed without moving the negs. And forget the blower. It will dislodge the negs.

[@film_friends]

yeah, a lab scan will always be higher fidelity than home scanning, You just cant get arround some of the human error. I tape my 120 to the bed. haha i think it looks great

Thank you for the detailed video and sharing your knowledge!! I started developing do to your developing video. I started with the scanner and with this info it wil go a lot beter. Thank you again!! Something I started to do is making “contact sheets”. Just scanning the full strips in de holder at a lower setting. Than checking what I want to scan. And than putting the time in de scan’s that I want. I do that to save som time.

[@film_friends]

You are so welcome!. Yeah thats a cool thing to do with the contact sheets. I think it is cool to scan the whole line of the film strip. its cool to see them all together.

Dope, thanks for the step by step video, much needed!

[@film_friends]

Thanks so much!!! Here to help!

[@Hotpink_hangers]

Getting technical, tweaking the Y,M,C channels will be similar to using the darkroom. I worked with someone who could look at a print, decide that it needed more green, and knew which CMY she needed to add to get the effect. Also- each film has its own colour profile. depending on the settings in camera, it can effect that outcome.

[@film_friends]

yeah thats a great way to work

[@terryleephotographer]

Dude! Super helpful! Thank you for going through the various workflows. The “yummy film borders” as you call them is the main reason I opted for a flatbed scanner. By following your steps I have had great results so far!

[@film_friends]

That is amazing!! yes. the yummy film boarders are where it is at! I kinda rushed scanning the other day and didn't get them in there. I need to start doing it again.

[@terryleephotographer]

@@film_friends yeah it definitely slows down the scanning time, but so worth it. 😬

[@thomashewitt2597]

EXCELLENT very informative... but also enjoyed your engaging personality... made learning 😊

[@film_friends]

Thanks so much!

[@georgevp]

My newest scanner is a 21yrs old Epson Profection 2450 Photo, and the main reason why I got it is that it scans 4×5 film. Haven't shot 4×5 more than 30yrs, but still have a good deal of it from school days. Epson does make plugins for Image Capture, but I like to use the scanner in full pro mode, so I get a little dark edges when I scan. Have been using an old g4 mac to scan because for some reason the plugin doesn't like 4×5.

[@film_friends]

thats interesting hmm

[@isaiahsarju]

Really good comprehensive video. Been afraid to work with seller fast but now I'm confident. I'm working on perfecting a hybrid workflow where I made contact sheets with the flatbed and then digital camera scan the selected ones

[@film_friends]

I would love to see that! I love the idea of contact sheets

[@deswalk]

Thanks this was very helpful navigating the technical stuff.

[@film_friends]

For sure!!

[@ManyDoors777]

I have the same scanner and always had a hard time scanning film to show the borders. Tape!? That’s all I had to do!? 😂 Thanks for the help man!!

[@film_friends]

I like the tape look. Purists will say its not the right height from the scanner... idk i dont see it

[@moniquenuijten8590]

It also works if you use the DigitaLIZA (35 mm) Scanning Mask from Lomography. Just tried it with my Epson and it works great. I worked with the scanning mask before in combination with a digital camera, but it is just as easy with the Epson.

[@GrandTreasureBay]

I just ordered a V600 scanner. Your channel has been the most helpful channel on all of youtube for getting my 35mm workflow up and running. I'll be rolling with silverfast and darktable software, but will probably upgrade to lightroom soon.

I saw in the NLP group that when you go to white balance the profile to white balance should say "Negative Lab Pro (current version)". If you click the 4 squares you'll find it. In my case I there are 4 NLP profiles to pick from. I just go with current version 2.3. I'm not sure what difference or how much of a difference it will make, but just thought I'd mention it.

[@film_friends]

Yeah I think i am on a slightly older version in this video. I need to fire up the new one. Thanks for this!

[@film_friends]

are you sure? ! go use your product key with silverfast and see

[@robertramsay2408]

Great video lesson. Thanks for posting. My daughter had a photo prof that told them to turn unsharpen off, open the histogram and slide the black to where the histogram starts the blacks on the left and the same with the whites on the right (thus undoing any auto settings), leave the image size at the size the negative is and put the resolution to 3200, or higher if the scanner can do it well (their lab had Epson V750s) and scan as a TIFF. She said the resulting file was like a RAW file from a DSLR's sensor. Finally, she said to open this TIFF as Camera Raw in Photoshop or LIghtroom and do all the editing there. This method treats the scanner sort of like a DSLR sensor saving in RAW. The images look really flat and a bit dark but everything is there for LR or PS to edit. What are your thoughts on this method?

[@film_friends]

Thats a good method. I think it is a really good idea. there are many ways to get there and that sounds like a great one!

[@leonvroemen2396]

Great Video wished you gone more into detail silverfast about restoring the negativ and removing dust scratchets, etc maybe you dive into this in a new episode

The more I dig into the scanning of film I'm starting more and more wondering if film is worth investment. Can I get the same result, doing the same amount of editing with digital? What are your thoughts on film in this sense?

[@film_friends]

Its something deep to think about for sure. I don't know the answer. I am a professional photographer on digital and sometimes i love my digitial over film. But somtimes the film slapps better. It kinda is a preference.

[@daviddavidd9883]

Will, I recently started scanning using my fuji x pro3 and 80mm lens. I think I see an image quality difference now. I used the epson v700 for a 1000 years now. the light source of the v700 may have shifted, dimmed or faded. I have noticed a difference in results from both methods. camera scanning has the best results, any thoughts? I use vuescan, NLP and lightroom with the v700.

so camera scanning with 35mm is really good. 120 is harder to get the resolution without stitching but it still looks great

[@film_friends]

Hey! I'm so glad I could help! You can use the same settings for scanning the whole thing, but remember to zoom in and focus on one of the frames first and lock in the exposure, then reframe once it is locked. The problem with doing full contact sheets is sometimes the exposure isnt perfect on all of them. for NLP the pp can be whatever you feel is best. cranking it up all the way is usually best but large files.

Does this proces ook work for the v550

[@Vacationxdad]

After scanning my negatives are a little too dark when I convert in Lightroom, the conversion blows out the highlights like crazy. Any tips?

[@film_friends]

It might have been an issues with how You scanned it or potentially the actual camera that shot it. But lots of factors tell me more. I saw your other message about messaging me. Hit me up on IG if ya want

[@gmcenroe]

I know that some people just enjoy using film over digital, but I don't see any advantage if in the end you take your film negative and scan them into digital form, unless you have a lot of old negatives that you want to digitize. Is there any inherent advantage to digitizing film vs just capturing digitally with today's modern digital sensors that justifies the lengthy process beyond the aesthetics?

[@film_friends]

there are a TON of reasons really. but here is a thought. how do you see any image today? everything has been digitized. even if you went from your film to a print, to get that print anywhere you need to digitize it. so you are scanning your print then. film does a few things, it has character and color in the film stock, which you can get close to or a pro might be able to match but the film just gives it to you. film uses old film cameras, which have really beautiful vintage glass that gives a lot of character to the image. you can adapt that glass to digital but hardly anyone does. you get mistakes, out of focus, not perfectly in focus, all that kinda stuff from manual focusing. you can do that on digital, but most dont. you dont "cheek" and look at all your images the moment you take them. it makes you think more about your composition and put you in the moment. i tend to like my film more for their thought of composition and WAY less photos to look through. I shoot digital at weddings right now and add some film in during the portrait session. there are uses for both

[@Nitidus]

The problem I have with Negative Lab Pro is that it doesn't really convert the negatives "true to life" but gives them a distinct "NLP look," I guess to be recognizable. That's not what I want when scanning an image to edit, though... I would like to have a look as close to a standard darkroom print as possible. From how I know Ultramax, how it came out of Silverfast in the beginning is more or less how it looks - explosive colors, a bit over the top. Red and blue. If I want a look that's far away from the actual film, it's better to just shoot digital

[@film_friends]

I have several more videos discussing this topic. The real question is “what is standard” I mean true to life is good but every lab will give you a different scan. There are tons of settings in the NLP to dial it closer to life or what your looking for! It’s hard to do sometimes

[@HenrikLyngbo]

Hi Will... I've been following your videos on developing and scanning film. Great videos... thanx a lot. My question is: do you ever have prints made for the wall from your scanned and corrected pictures? Do they come out as you see them on your screen or how do you calibrate your corrections with the print house? Could maybe be a theme for a new video? Cheers, Henrik

[@film_friends]

Yeah I do! And that sounds like a good idea for a video! Some times you do have to make adjustments for certain print houses. You get some test prints and make sure the colors match what your ant

You should not use the V600 if you are interested in ending up with images that have more than 1Megapixel (effective resolution). You can set the scanner to 3600 dpi of course, but that does not mean it can actually provide this resolution, unfortunately. I compared it to a slides scanner that costs about the same and the difference is very, very big. There are some KZbinrs who did a resolution comparison and they also found that even if you use an slr with a Marco Lens to digitise your slides you will end up with better resolution. Sad but true.

I love my images from it. Seems to work well but I’m sure there are a ton of ways!

[@emilysanders4276]

this is a great video, but im really confused because I went to the epsonUS website and to the v600 product like you, did, but it didnt have any of the downloads or silverfast? Im not sure why

[@emilysanders4276]

-i may be a bit dumb bc it looks like the scanner came with a cd with the downloads on it but im not seeing silverfast and anyway it should probably be on the website?

[@film_friends]

If you go to the drivers for the scanner on the epson website, it is a spot where it ha a link to silverfasts download. It requires your scanner serial number

[@israelquezada0454]

@@emilysanders4276 where you able to download it? I went silverfast website and entered my product serial number and received silverfast this way.

[@morepassionfoo]

I have a V600 and I downloaded silverfish but I cant get silverfish to talk to my scanner. What am I doing wrong?

[@film_friends]

So you’ll still need to download the epson drivers to make it work right. And also try power cycling you scanner once silverfast is open

[@morepassionfoo]

@@film_friends alright ill give that a whirl. thanks

[@Bradum]

If you were going to pull the scanned image into Lightroom, is there any reason you didn't output as a tiff or dng from SilverFast then export as a jpg from Lightroom? If you scan as a jpg, edit it, and then export as a jpg you're doubling up on the compression.

[@film_friends]

You do output as a Tiff or DNG from silverfast.

[@film_friends]

Export the final image as JPG

[@Bradum]

​@@film_friends Yeah. In the video you export from Silverfast as a jpeg (or maybe I'm mistaken).

[@Bradum]

Ahh. You export as jpeg for the first one when you pull it into Lightroom, then you export as dng when you show your Negative Lab Pro workflow. Suppose I should have watched to the end of the video... lol
