I decided to order prints this time along with my negative processing at the local photo lab. (I mainly process my own BW and scan.)
Anyway, when I got my Porta 400 35mm prints back, my mind was simply blown. I couldn't believe how awesome they looked.
That being said, I like to share my work online. So, I went to work (literally my workplace) and fired up the Epson 4490 with the stock Epson scanning software and attempted to scan.
However, I could NOT get the scans to look ANYWHERE close to the prints I got back.
So...what am I missing? Is this just a flatbed thing? Do I need to find color profiles for the Portra 400?
I'm planning on purchasing the new Plustek Opticfilm 120 when it comes out, but the whole point to me shooting film again is to avoid hours in the digital darkroom trying to get things to look right.
Needless to say...I was a little discouraged today.
