    I love it when my scanner does an overcast on magenta albeit lighter than yours, but its lovely filter especially over portra!

  • Don't kill it, its what makes it!

    Ha, actually been thinking about this quite a bit the last days.

    Basically the issue of scanning film for me always boils down to the realisation that it's just a fucking hassle and you never get the colours really right (just spend a bit of time looking at images scanned with a proper scanner like a Frontier or Noritsu and you'll see how they are really supposed to look like & how great even cheap emulsions like Kodak Gold can look.
    Unfortunately I really can't afford having my rolls scanned in high res at the lab as this is hideously expensive over here (like €20+ per roll).

    Then there's the harsh but simple truth that I oftentimes may just not see reddish colour casts as I have a bit of a color vision deficiency..
    ..so apart from the fact that using Silver Fast still makes me want to throw all the things out of the window I even struggle in post oftentimes to be honest - as @pdlouche mentioned it's easy to remove casts in PS basically, but you know I just sometimes don't see the difference when I move saturation sliders over half way, so..
    I do see a magenta-ish cast in those car pics though. Maybe I'll try to edit them.
