ONE YEAR OF 35MM FILM 🎞 scanning film negatives at home

[@drew_m_r]

thank you for not gate keeping! i’ve always wanted to evolve to developing, scanning, and color correcting on my own but was always too scared. this made me feel better!

I have next to no experience in film, but watching you go through this process is so therapeutic- the difference between your scans & the lab's is wild -- love the style of your photos so much!

hey! i use the epson v600 too, but our menu’s look a little different. i recommend using professional mode if you can access that (i use a windows laptop so we might not have the same options) and the scanner should have come with a negative holder to make scanning easier. in professional mode you can also graphs to make sure you’re getting all the light valued which helps with editing later! i hope this helps a little

[@cozyjetlag]

the red streak is so satisfying! Much better than the cleaner version.

NEGATIVE LAB PRO! Hands down the best thing you can get if you want to scan your own negatives. You absolutely have to get it.

[@TheGroovyGuitarDude]

Love seeing this process. I really want to get into film, but am daunted by the process and expense. I feel like getting my own scanner and learning how to use it would make me more inclined to dive in. 📷

[@cjbridger3716]

If you have never shot film before start with a roll of film and a camera. Then don't worry about scanning yet send it off to a lab. I have had good luck with the darkroom.

Highly recommend trying to shoot film and have a lab scan it for the first bit! I’d only worry about self scanning if you have enough money to not care, and want the best. Or, you shoot enough film that you’d pay for the film scanning equipment in savings from not getting lab scans!

I process all my own Black and white at home, since the process can give varying results depending on developer used, dev times, temp. I let a local photo lab develop all my color negative film since the C-41 process is standardized and I really don't gain anything by processing with at home with kits. Then just scan everything at home and If I want prints, send them back to the photo lab lol Best of both

[@JhaneTheLady]

Honestly with all the technology these days, I totally would have never thought to scan my negatives. I used to love taking photos with real film.

[@AudrieStorme]

Thank you 🥺

[@bryzmiranda23]

things i wish i've realized earlier after years of trial and error: - the film scanner is your secondary camera and just like all cameras, they have their own characteristics and kinks. - the same goes to the actual inversion of the negative, result varies (assuming you don't manually invert your images) noritsu colors are different from lets say a fuji frontier or in your case a v600, which are all amazing and have their own "flavor". - the actual person scanning the negatives is also a factor. i had horror stories of seeing my roll being dragged across the floor after being dried by an intern. some labs lack the skill of handling negatives and actually make decent scans. there's only a handful of labs here in our area that knows what they are doing, which has forced me to go the same route like you. home scanning was fun until the colors look whack! ahahaha fun times i ended up with = lab develop + home scanning + negative lab pro just to save money since prices of film is rising by the minute :) sometimes i use old photos, or actual film frames from movie reels as reference for color etc.

[@viradescent]

At 5:37 when the film scan result was a bit more blue and washed out, it might be because the film was put in with the emulsion side down? I cant tell if thats what it was or not, but maybe try flipping the film when you scan again. Try emulsion side up (dull side up) and glossy side down. I could be wrong though. I can't tell if you tried that already. Also love seeing this process :)

[@Jerry10939]

I’m an old film photographer who worked as one in the Army. I’m glad to see you doing film. Developing film isn’t hard, it’s easy to do if you have the right equipment. I started with color then switched to B&W. I also do prints the old way with an enlarger, but scanning is fine. Half of photography is done in the darkroom or in your case on the computer. I was curious do you only use a point and shoot camera or also use an SLR camera?

[@russellrabanal]

been scanning my work through silverfast for 2 years and I just learned something new here.

[@demz3514]

Thank you for sharing your way of scanning and processing. I was about to buy Negative Lab Pro, but it simply just inverts and does minor adjustments to the curves, which one can simply do on his own. The only scanners that can best mimic the actual film's true colors are that of Frontier and one other (forgot the name), but even then there is a person who color corrects which in turn is yet another subjective way one edits film, which in fact points to that every single film photography will be interpreted differently.

[@PJTellsYou]

Thank you so much for this video. As someone who owns tons of slides and recently taking courses on analog photography, it’s amazing being able to do a little more with what I have on hand

[@justinkeys523]

It’s two years old but still the knowledge is relevant. Best to get proper film holders and raise the film on the scan bed a tad. Also look at the V850 or Canon scanners too (obsolete but you can still get pre owned and run drivers to use it). Nikon Coolscan 9000 is $2500 but offers true 4000DPI If money is no object then get a FujiFilm Frontier or a Drum scanner.

So happy it was helpful! I’m still getting the hang of it so I didn’t want to call this a tutorial 😅 but thanks for watching ❤️❤️

[@TRWnan]

Start by forgetting you ever saw this video. Consider reading the manual that comes with your scanner. Don't scan the sprocket holes or other areas off of the film unless you want way more work in exchange for having images with sprocket holes in them.

[@robin4180]

manual inversion is a really great technique!

[@eduardoprudencio5427]

What you could do to get rid of the dust is download SilverFast which is actually free if you own a v550 and I believe its also free for your scanner just go on epson's website. SilverFast has an infrared thing which removes all the dust and scratch. Try it out! Loved the way you converted the colors I've never seen anyone do that, I use Negative Lab Pro but that works great and you save money too!

[@zachminawi]

Love this video! Have you heard of Negative Lab Pro? I bought the same scanner last year and bit the bullet and bought the NLP software too--- and my scans are way better than the Epson Scan scans. Felt like I wasn't getting the best possible image with just the scanner's software. I think there is a free trial, you should try it out :) Keep up the great work!!

[@rawcodecmedia302]

Developing black and white is super easy that’s how I dove into developing at home. Just get cinestill monobath and a developing tank takes like 5 minutes. Need a dark bag also or a dark bathroom Edit; also negative lab pro is a plug-in through Lightroom so you can flip it with that then color correct with the sliders not flipped 🙏

[@neljunochea1032]

Thank you for sharing your talent and creative approach to this. So fun and educational watching your videos.

[@Walkercolt1]

How about one year of my 4x5 B&W sheet film? That amounts to over 3000 sheets of film this year (2021) for ONLY my pleasure. I exposed 22,000 sheets of Fujichrome 4x5 for customers last year and 6300 sheets of Fujichrome 8X10 last year, mainly of sporting goods products but also of garbage trucks and utility truck chassis made here in Tulsa. Fujichrome is what the art directors want, so that is what I provide, all taken in studio with electronic flash. If you call an old warehouse a studio-but I can pull trucks inside it and mock-up a bowling alley in it. I don't scan film, I make byarta silver enlargements, usually 16x20 or 20x24 but occasionally larger even from 645 negatives. One can "scan" negatives very well with a good light box and a DSLR (16 MEG+) with a macro lens.

Great comparison... It never occurred to me I could save costs by scanning at home... but then again, the lab results are spectacular! I now wonder how much of a difference does a bad development job do.

Interesting process inverting with LR...will give it a try. Cinestill is a tricky one to scan. Also, you can totally develop film at home. I find it easier to do C41 than Black and White. Just get a sous vide to control the temperature and you are on your way. I find it really satisfying to develop and scan myself.

Have you tried Negative Lab Pro for your negative inversion? With its latest update you're able to convert an entire roll with the press of the button plus it gives you a ton of color control. I use it all the time and it saves me so much time.

Considering your passion for analogous photography you should use a dedicated film scanner (eg. Plustek) to get a much better quality, your Epson isn't capable to generate HQ scans, especially 35mm.

I used to have a working Nikon Coolscanner 4000 but it broke. The process was slow but the quality was pretty good. So decided to try my Epson 3170 and the results were decent from what I remember. It's been over 2 years since I've scanned any film so can't remember exactly. I do remember wanting to get that film scanner device that Nikon makes. I think the process might be faster than scanning.

Hey that is a really motivating one! 😎 Just started looking for scanners and also came to the epson 600 or 850 as well as some by Reflecta like the x33 but they usually limited to 35mm film. I wonder: what resolution do you choose to get out of the scans that you liked - playing with the dpi? 😅

[@jackjee1321]

Just accidently saw your video. Nice works! I also have the v600 scanner. But I'm shooting and scanning 120 BW film more often cause the D76 is more easy to develop😂 Could you share your experience in terms of developing work on Color Film next time?😁

[@petealcantara3111]

I have the same Scanner, I got a software silverfast free just use your scanner serial no. It works a lot better. Give it a try.

[@weisserth]

This is a compromised scanning setup, in my opinion not worth investing the time in. Do it right, or don't bother. Flatbed scanners like the V600 are not a great choice for scanning 135 film. They're just not. The only reason to get a flatbed scanner for film scanning if you intend to scan large negatives at low relative resolutions (in relation to the negative size). If you only ever shoot 135 film, don't bother with a flatbed scanner. The Epson V600 is not that expensive, but for a marginal larger investment of about twice its cost, you can buy a dedicated 35mm scanner that can scan at an effective 5,000DPI (10,000DPI nominal), comes with professional scanning software, can do automated batch scans, has IR correction to remove dust and scratches and more. Also, Epson Scan is not good software to produce the best results. And when you scan yourself, your goal really is to get the best result. Why would you waste your precious time if not to get the best result, right? Start right and get Silverfast (often bundled with better scanners) or VueScan Pro (not expensive, highly recommended). This provides you with the option for 64bit DNG RAW scans.

[@yuuntjenep]

Can you maybe share a preset of one of your photos or do a more in-depth tutorial on how you edit the picture. Because how do you change it into color

[@theeramet.a]

Love film 🎞 🤍🤏🏼

[@DavidSkok1]

Wow - this is a horribly time consuming process. I personally scan thousands of negatives and slides, and could never live with this level of work. I highly recommend going on to eBay and purchasing a Nikon Coolscan 5000 ED second hand, and then using VueScan software to drive it. You will get far better scans in a fraction of the time. If you are interested I will happily send you a few film scans of mine to give you a sense for it. The Nikon is pretty much fully automatic, once you drop in a strip of film, and will spit out really great looking image files, removing all dust and scratches. I also have the Epson V750, and have compared the quality to the Nikon - it's not even close. Particularly the sharpness.

[@karlnovel]

Really enjoyed to see how you go about scanning your film. I have been thinking about doing the same for a while! I'm still saving up since I wanna dive into dslr scanning. However, I already started to develop film by myself and I totally recommend you to do the same. Just start with BW Film, it's quite easy and super rewarding!

[@coppikatt]

how did you start learning to develop your own film?

[@shadinaar9603]

Thank you for this!!! Is there a particular way to achieve the photo effects of how the Photo Lab scanned them? Or is that just the way they edit the photos? I just wonder how they keep it consistent and I really don’t like messing with it on my own because I’m so indecisive, lol!

[@darkgreenkid296]

Looking at the difference I say the lab scans has more contrast and exposure, little bit brighter.

[@oringe7326]

the film holders are there because the scanners focal point is a bit further from the surface, meaning that if you put it directly onto your scanner your scans won’t be as sharp

[@markbyrne5607]

Probably a rooky question here, Epson V600 is the scanner, what is PhotoLab?
