As the RAW triplet is now persistently shared I've allowed myself a try: Composite and conversion via my free "Analogue Toolbox" software specialized for 3-shot narrowband captures of color negatives. Settings: Stock default conversion with consumer PFE selected. Final touch of slight contrast...

If talking local LLMs - I find them very powerful for tedious tasks like IPTC description and tagging. As I'm currently writing an application I would be interested in how others are thinking about this. I always wanted to manually tag my images but then failed miserably in doing exactly that...

@Fish soup : If I got your linked article correctly then he is referring to narrowband but single,"white appearing spectrum" capture with all 3 LED channels on at the same time. I find this approach rather troublesome in regards to getting color right. I have indeed seen wonky oversaturated...

As long as RAW conversion and the following selective extract and merge is done properly the resulting composite should already look similar to Log in Rec.709 (sRGB) by default. Only then saturation is implicitly increased alongside contrast through Print Film Emulation and custom S-curves if...

I've been using Capture One for many years for film scanning purposes. Even developed a custom tool for supporting a better workflow within Capture One. Since they now integrated film scanning into their product I consider it a very solid solution for B&W and color reversal film handling. For...

As I have been narrowband composite scanning my color negatives for the last 3 years I now have an application under work that solely focusses on discrete narrowband R,G,B composite scanning. Supports flat-field correction, custom print-film emulation, is fully color managed and supports batch...
