How I Edit Color Negative Film (in Lightroom only)

  • This video covers how I edit color negative film in Lightroom. Most photographers probably have some access to Lightroom, so I want to make a video focusing only on tools in Lightroom, for converting color negative into color positive. Yes, there are additional plug-ins and tools you can use to edit and convert color negative film, but I'll save those for another video.
    I describe two methods for how to edit color negative in Lightroom:
    Workflow 1 -- 0:21
    Workflow 2 -- 7:46

    Started photography in the 1970s. Kept all the negatives after printing (and giving prints away).
    I think I may have a little project on my hands. Thanks for the video. Very informative.

    Thank you so much Ribsy for this very informative video and for sharing your process! Today I have developed my very first color negative film. I scan my films with my camera, so converting my negatives in Lightroom is perfect for me. I have already been doing that with my bnw film for a while but had no idea how to get rid of the orange with color film. I especially like workflow #2 which gives me more control. Again, thx a lot!

    You deserve way more subscriptions dude!
    Even though I'm not bound to these methods anymore since I use Negative Lab Pro this video stil remind me of my early days and first steps in film photography. I used to edit every channel in the tone curve and editing a whole 35mm film was sooo time consuming. :/
    Still nicely explained which made it a joy to watch and a nice channel as well!

    • @dreamarchist
      @dreamarchist 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@ribsy I now feel like I put way too much effort in it! :D
      I almost did it the way like you in workflow #2 except for the following: I inverted every RGB channel and dragged the beginning and the end of the lines toward the middle until the histogram showed the triangle of pure black/white areas then I had a good starting point and just had to edit the middle of the curves into the direction I needed to fix a colourshift completely but I guess you can imagine how much time just one image takes - and now imagine a whole film. Oh my gosh...

      Hey - thanks. I scan the negatives on the flatbed scanner without the negative holder. Alternatively, you can do dslr scan and get the full border too. As long as the film is straight and not curving excessively, it should be easy to do.
