How to scan film negatives using Silverfast and Photoshop

[KeithWasHere1]

can you use the program to turn it into pictures?

[alimacfm1]

Why do you invert the image in PS instead doing it directly with the scanner? You´ll see: I have this large large photo archive and I can´t expend so much time in editing each image, however, I am very interested in the quality of the images...

Very well done, thank you

the sound is out of sync with the video, it's like 1 or 2 seconds behind.

Do I need a special scanner? I just have a scanner/printer/ in one!,.. is silverfast a program? and is it free ? I like to scan 35mm movie cells

Hope to hear from you kind regards,

Johnny

thanks for sharing!

you can also hold Ctrl while using the crop tool to prevent 'snapping'

Its just not working at all for me!!! Whenever I click transparent mode it just loses the image. its crap.

thanks =) !!!!

can you do a video on how to do it with color negatives?

[danscourses]

@patricksab Sure, great idea! we are doing that in class already

By using SilverFast's NegaFix feature you don't need to scan them as positives for inverting them later on in Photoshop. Just choose your film type out of 120 film profiles. There's a vid on youtube showing this.

That is absolutely right but we decided that even though you "can" do it that way do you trust the program to get it right? I rather invert it myself to my own judgement

[canturgan]

I think it's better to use adjustment layers to preserve the original layer. I'd like to see this process with a colour neg too. Thanks.

About 3/4 of the way through, the audio loses sync with the video.

[amfoi]

yeah!!.. thats also my question.. we can just scan with a regular scanner or we really need a scanner that can scan negative films??

[elcochon]

do you know if i can scan negatives with a regular scanner? i have one of those epsons that have printer included, i really need to scan

[danscourses]

I know that HP used to have an attachment that came with their scanners. You would place it over your negatives and the scanner. It had a mirror on it and that would somehow allow the light to travel through the transparency. I never actually tried it though.
