Once you’ve set this up as a preset then you can quickly apply it to all your negative scans. I had a play with Dark Table using a Colorchecker image to set the various black and white points and make a custom inversion for Kodak ProImage. HDR also does dust removal without IR (SRDx). Thats one reason I’m playing with DarkTable - lots of the negative inversions depend on Lightroom or Photoshop, whereas DarkTable is free If you open one up in a normal photo editor the IR channel hasn't been removed - I suppose that’s what SilverFast HDR does. I thought the DNG recorded a 48 bit image plus the IR channel if you have one. I had a 8200 and I could do a full 3600ppi scan + IR dust removal in about 4 minutes, but it’s very dependent on what you do - no IR is quicker and saves quicker, smaller res is quicker In my inexperienced test, it seemed great. I would say 30-40 minutes for a roll of 36.ĭoesn't it record all the information while scanning as DNG? But that's acceptable because 48bit dng scanning is honestly fairly fast. That's the best I could afford with lmy budget. Please let me know what do you think about the option. However, is it worth the investment for Black and White images?īut that's all the opinion of a beginner. They demo works well with tiff and dslr scan as well which i a cherry on the top. The intermediate images here are TIFF files which can be used for essentially the same purposes as the DNG files.Īlso I don't need vuescan, because the free Silverfast Se is already doing the job. I’ve recently been playing with linear scans using VueScan following the instructions on here - and then converting them with ColorPerfect ( I’m working towards an end result of developing a non-Adobe standardized workflow using DarkTable ). Now my way of scanning is to get everything right in the scanning software and save as JPEG - I imagine if you’re saving and then want to post process later that might be slightly different. I can imagine if you had an automated feeder such as the Plustek 135i, but with the 8100 you’ve got to feed it by hand anyway. Thanks to its easy handling, SilverFast HDR is a true alternative to Photoshop. Restore and optimize your images with full color management. I’ve never found the “conversion” part of SilverFast to be the rate determining step, it’s normally the scan time. SilverFast HDR contains excellent tools for removing color casts and defects like dust and scratches from your scanned images and from other digital images. I have been playing with Silverfast HDR.Īs a non Adobe user, it Looks like a logical option if I just want to quickly Scan my negative as a DNG.
