Old hat, you might say. Almost exactly a year ago, I published a blog about how I scan and color balance color negative film. I now follow up on this with a video that demonstrates my approach. I start by inverting a couple of color negatives of my own (coincidentally shot on Kodak Vision3 250D ECN2 film). I then move on to some color negative scans YouTuber Analogue Andy provided me with. It’s a wordy kind of video, but for those who prefer to watch instead of (or in addition to) read, it may be useful. Enjoy!

Straight ahead– the linearization game, part 2
Previously I wrote about the necessity of linearization: if you print an inkjet digital negative, what densities you can expect from the resulting carbon transfer print are a bit of a gamble. Put differently: the relationship between inkjet negative density and print density is not a linear one. To get color to work reasonably well, I’ll need to linearize my curves reasonably well, too. It’s a bit of a chore, but…well, no but, and not a ‘bit’ either. It’s just a chore. And there’s actually some preparations to be done before I can start with the…err, preparations. (I’m not sure when I’ll get to the actual printing, come to think of it!)
