Re-uploaded video, due to a missleading statement in the original upload, regarding the Essential Film Holder.

Hi Oscar, This is a brilliant video for me! You have explained the process you use very well and shed light on an area I was "lost" in. I am looking at the Lobster film holders you suggested as well. A HUGE Thank You for your hard work which helps us out here that have never scanned film!
Thank you for the kind comment. Glad it was of some sort of help! The lobster holder looks brilliant. I haven't tried one myself, just came across it on Etsy. But I'm intrigued, and might order one myself just to try it out.
I think I've figuered out my workflow for Darktable and Negadoctor, at least for Black and White. I created a Blog Post with a how-to of how I do it. It's available here: www.thatbeardedguy.photography/2024/08/23/how-i-invert-my-negatives-in-darktable-using-negadoctor/
I made a video recently for my process with Darktable. I use a tripod head that I screwed onto an old enlarger I bought for 120 SEK at a charity shop. The Lomography Digitaliza has a built in spirit level that you can easily take off and place on the camera. I use an old Canon EOS 7D I had lying around and it has a built in spirit level, though.
I'm going to check out your video. If you haven't tried aligning the camera with a mirror, I highly recommend it. Super fast and accurate once you get the hang of it. Unless the setup is up constantly, then it's kinda set it and forget it
@@O.PerssonThanks for the tip! I never shoot digital though, so it kinda just sits there. The enlarger makes it easy to raise and lower the camera just the right amount. I did notice after uploading said video that I majorly fucked up the colours in the photo I scanned for the video. A corrected image is linked in the description. I almost exclusively shoot b/w and hurried with the colour correction not to make the video too long. Anyway, great channel! I found it because I just inherited my grandfather’s old Ikoflex.
@@erikalvner not to unlike myself. I even did the same thing in my video. There's just something to B&W that I really like, and it's easier to print in the darkroom :)
Thanks Oskar! Great Video I finally rewatched after getting my darkroom set up which took a lot longer than expected! Since I'm fairly new at LR and PS so I'm using your methods with those two programs and did pick up a Lobster 4x5 film holder which seems to work very nicely. Haven't decided on a 120 holder yet but will after I get the 4x5 down to pat. How do you resize images and send for posting to instagram please? Thanks again!!! Stephen
Great to hear! And glad that the lobster holder worked out. For export for webb (including Instagram) I just do an export with 2048 px on the long side, and add a bit of extra sharpening. For Instagram specifically I have a folder on Google photos. I the. check the image on my phone and might tweak it slightly with the built-in tools on Google photos before posting. I like to add a white frame around my images, which I do with an app called "white border". As always great to hear from you!
