![]() ![]() The key to using a phone, though, is convenience. But use a dedicated camera and the quality will be better. Think of it this way: get a smartphone camera and take a photo. But why do that when the sensors just aren’t good enough? I also can’t believe that the processing power of the software is good enough either. Sure, SilverFast 9 is promising great dynamic range. Larger sensors give you better color depth and dynamic range. With a dedicated digital camera, you get a larger sensor. More importantly, film scanners use small sensors. It’s accompanied by a blog post here on this site. Take a look at the video above and what photographer Alastair Bird did. Some of the best scans we’ve seen in recent times have been from DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. Ever gotten your film developed and scanned? Most scans are pretty lackluster. Modern photo scanners have the frustration of a dial-up modem with none of the usefulness. But people are using scanners less and less. It’s not that people aren’t really shooting film (we’re all about the film renaissance). In their recent press release, they promise a lot of updates which you can read about on their website.īut you’re here on The Phoblographer, and we work to give you an informed opinion. But it’s always had a number of problems. So if you’re archiving your film or scanning it, then you’re probably working with this program, Epson’s, or Canon’s options. SilverFast is primarily designed to work with scanners. But more importantly, I don’t think the world really needs it anymore. Previous versions of the desktop program have been painfully slow. I’ll be honest, I rolled my eyes at the press release. I wouldn’t be shocked if a few of you rolled your eyes. The other portion of you is probably a bit surprised. Most of you probably don’t know what SilverFast is. I assume most of you will be in one camp or another. The press release for SilverFast 9 came to us last week. ![]() the interface seems to have changed.Last Updated on by Chris Gampat We’re streaming daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Pocket Casts, and Spotify! in the Negafix Expert dialog, I couldn't find the Auto checkbox. While writing this reply, I had to refer to my copy of HDR. it should be noted though that the negafix profile is the most important factor in getting 'good' scans from the film so tweaking the profiles can be worthwhile. Ideally, (assuming that my explanation above is correct), a fussy user would customise/tweak the negafix profile for every strip of film they scan but that could be time consuming. it should give you the consistent results you are hoping for. This profile can then be used with your images, using the same curves and colour range for each and every frame. save the negafix profile with a name of your own choice. then make adjustments to the curves and ranges while viewing one or more of your images to get as authentic a colour rendering as possible. in the Negafix window, click on the Expert button (the 'professor') to open the Expert settings. I suspect that this is not what you are referring to, so try:Ģ. This however only means that the Image-Automatic function will not be automatically triggered each time an image is opened. in the Options/Auto tab, turn off "Automatic when opening image". There are two things that I can think of to try.ġ.
