Thats an ad :/

Brings back memories from the 90's and early 2000's

the best tutorial on youtube hands down

Hi Alex. I've recently stumbled on your work as I'm venturing into 4x5 and your website article on choosing a 4x5 camera and lenses is such a great resource. Your portfolio is superb. Please do consider making more content for UA-cam. With the resurgence in analog photography over the last few years and film manufacturers making film stocks again, I can't think of a better time to share your work and processes on here. I for one would love to see you in the field crafting your images as you are among the very best LF photographers in the world imho who deserves a much larger audience. Thanks for all of the resources on your website also. Cheers from the UK 👍

Stumbled upon Your blog. Beautiful color work on your images. Thanks for sharing this tutorial

I love your work

Excellent tutorial. I'm so grateful UA-cam still pushes this video 4 years later. In just one go I was able to correct my photo for free (albeit with Photo Shop owned). Extremely useful information with no annoying sponsorships, amazingly straightforward, and easy to follow in a much more modern version of the software.

That my friend looks like a Linotype-Hell Tango

This is a great tutorial but I’d like to be able to do the same thing in Lightroom. Do you know if there’s a keyboard shortcut to check clipping with the individual channels in Lightroom?

Thanks for the video. Given the cost of software like Lightroom, it's quite bad that there's no function for basic conversions and that it all must be done manually. I guess it shows that AI, despite its power, can't be trusted to automate things that relate to 'taste'. I suppose Adobe's tests thus far have produced weird results and strange colours.

Alex have been following you on instagram for some time now. You click one of the most crisp photos on the gram be it digital or film. Only last week i found out that your used drum scanning via an insta post about the pittsburgh pirates stadium shot. I wish you posted on youtube more often. I have 100% sure more people would be interested to watch your photography journey.

Any tips on converting standard digital image to inverted film like image? (with color film "orange" tint)

Finally, something for my 110 stock 🤭

Too many steps. I got lost a third of the way in and gave up

So jealous

Spot on. Have tried a few different techniques and this produces the best results. Alex, thank you

Hey! Currently looking at getting probably an RZ67, is it possible to make 6x7 look good as a 6-8’ wide print or is that too crazy?

When you said color negative film is too blue- well the film base is orange and orange is the inverse of blue. Is this a question of not compensating enough for the film base? Or is this just a coincidence? Also I've always wondered why when you photograph a negative you have a histogram that covers the entire tonal range but when you invert it you have a new histogram that only covers about half of the tonal range. Is this the way it will always work or is this a quirk of the software?

I was a scanner operator for a many years, ran a Crosfield 646 horizontal drum scanner and then a Hell scanner like the one in your video. The last scanner I ran was a flatbed Scitex scanner, nowhere near as good as the drum scanners, you couldn't do oil mounting with the flatbed which made for dusty scans. Was a great trade back in the good old days of print.

From my experience, the Scitex EverSmart Supreme flatbed scanner, was a better scanner than the drum and much sharper.

Just wow those transparencies on the lightbox @ 0:52

I think the magic here is the way the film is mounted on the drum, placing a medium with higher IOR than air between the interfaces between the drum and the film will reduce reflections, fringing and increase contrast, I think this is the key, i wonder what would happen if I were to add some water to a flat bed scanner? of course after tinkering with it so it can handle the water.

Is it possible to repeat this result with GIMP software?

hey, would you ever consider making a video about what scanning method mortal people should go with? I would love to be able to play with a drumbscanner, but as the joker said “i’m like a dog chasing an ambulance, if i cought one I wouldn’t know what to do with it”.

awesome, wish i had the bucks for some 6x7 scans. :D

This is NEXT level!

That game changer is there since the begging of photography. We live the the world of markups and fake reviews :)

Is this part of your film to digital ebook?

If there is one thing I have learned recently it's that I have no idea how to actually use photoshop for handling actual photos.

These Heidelberg scanners are really unmatched. I will only use these in future. Allot of newcomers don’t even know the old tech exists. It is superior in every way. Great video

Don't know if this changed over the years but for me holding ALT in the curve layer only chnages the raster. I can't get clipping like this :(

Wonderful shots and a straight forward honest evaluation of the camera.

This is marketing, I just envy the process now

how big are the files

Out of curiosity, is this an 8bit or 16bit colour depth scanner? I recently acquired an 8bit 8000dpi drum scanner for the cost of shipping, and it's great, but you always wonder if the next step up is better again

I’m guessing this isn’t worth it for 35mm

Have you imported the images in as TIFF or as Raw/DNG?

Looks superb.

Question for you Alex, does a fresnel go against ground glass inside camera or outside ?. The rise and fall how to you set to 0, there are no stops ?

What if tou took a pickture of a Macbeth chart? Whould that make it easier?

Hello everyone, I represent a historic company of graphics in decommissioning in the province of Naples, in San Giorgio a Cremano. For sale for end of business Crosfield Magnascan 600 drum scanner late 90s, including dedicated Apple G3 workstation, original manuals and various spare parts, including 3 additional cylinders. Available for any test. No exchanges. Pick up by hand only.

That brings back memories. I operated a Chromagraph S3300 as a scanner operator in the 90's. The tango is certainly equal to that. I hope you will always get enough spare parts and service... Good luck for the future

Your conversions look good to me. But i try the same with mine and they look really weird. I tried many evenings but i am not satisfied with the results. May be my scans are not so goodas yours? Meanwhile i invested in a Plug named Negmaster for LR and PS and now the results are fine. Negative Lab Pro is good too, but Negmaster is a bit better for my scans from linoscan 1450…

Where does the blue color come from at 1:32? When I try this the color is purple.

I'm really amazed.

It always fascinates me seeing how other people use photoshop and how you can do the same thing with a million different ways. The level of control that it gives you is really unmatched by any other software. I like the speed with which you can batch edit stuff in Lightroom but I always end up editing my work in photoshop just because I know that I can get so much more out of an image. I liked your technique, nice and quick video.

You you could just shoot it straight on positive film, just saying

Too bad it's just 720p

Great video , thanks from cornwall uk

Is there any point drumrolling 35mm?
