Film Scanning Process with Peter Siegel and Eric Philcox | Phase One

[@FloridaTosa]

Great questions bendavtx, It is good practice to mask off the open areas of the light box, being that this video was for demo and filmed on location, we did the best we could with what we had. You can out put the files to DNG in C1 with the crop applied. Jose, A good white balance is a great way to go, for this project we are out putting the files to a gray scale color space anyway so either approach would work. Live view would not give the quality you can otherwise get out of the P1 Backs

I have used a similar process with a lightbox, canon 5d, macro lens and Capture One. I am curious why you would not mask the open areas off to reduce haze/glare. Also is there a way to output a cropped but still raw file to reduce overall file size for archiving? There are a lot of wasted pixels with this process.

Eric, So a quick follow up from your response to ,Jose...."Live view would not give the quality you can otherwise get out of the P1 Backs". So you trust the equipment knowing you have used the best, Back, camera, lens,and control software..you trust the equipment not what you see in live view? curious if your monitor was custom color profiled?

Hi Isaac, live view on CCDs will never give you the quality that a single capture will. It is just how the chip in designed. I calibrate my Eizo monitors with color navigator.

Why substract saturation?. A good white balance is the way to go. I don't know why you do not capture every frame invidualy. If the camera has HDMI output you can conect to a display and work with live view.
