thanks for watching guys! here are my current video corrections: - it seems as if Epson Scan 2 might be only available on Mac OS Catalina. I’m working to contact epson and see if a version will be releasing for windows. - after you crop in to convert with NLP and edit, you can crop back out to see your borders again. - i don't show myself using my dust removal tool before scanning. a link to the one i use occasionally is included in the description. - if i went too fast im sorry but this is the man i was born to be. throw this joint on .5 speed LMAO

linusandhiscamera - using lightroom classic, does your NLP prompt you to run a “TIFF prep” from plugin extras before converting? played around with it last night and got different results with and without the extra step

Thank you Matthew! Love u too bruh bruh

this is one of the best film videos I've ever seen, pretty bummed i just came across this source after i scanned 8 rolls tho lmao.

The scanner has a plane of focus that's usually slightly above the surface of the glass, so another purpose of the film holder is to sit them right above the glass so you get better sharpness. Some holders have little screw feet that you can use to adjust the height and get perfectly in focus scans. Or if you're like me and miss focus in camera every time then it probably doesn't matter.

Ive been watching photography videos going on a year, this channel is the best, precise, and most engaging channel I've come across. SUBBED!

I APPRECIATE THIS! I started scanning a few months back and could never get my negatives to look right. Definitely going to give negative lab a try!

Thanks for this video, I just bought an Epson v600 and it was super useful !

You will find most Neg Lab Pro guys are using a mirrorless camera with macro lens as their preferred (best output) method of getting the negative on the computer. I use a X-T2 with 80mm macro which really does a great job over any flatbed scanner..and yes I use to use an Epson V600

It's been a while since I've seen a film video and actually learned something useful. Thanks for sharing all your research / experience. Totally stoked I found your work. Subbed!!

The V-600 will also scan 110 ,126 and other format negatives. You can use after market holders or just lay the negative on the scanner bed as Photo Shop will straighten the pics up quickly.

Thanks for this. I have an Epson v700 and its an impressive scanner but I'm super pumped to try this for better, faster, correcter (lol) colors

Thank you for the tech tip mr. linus Also, excellent writing and video structure! Visual aids were great!

Funny , I have a Epson V550 as well. Brand new when I bought it from Fry’s Electronics (back when the store was still selling stuff and is now trash). It’s in storage now in the shed. I’ll probably use it when I move out of my moms and off to university. Good videos by the way.

Hi! I just bought my epson v550 scanner. where can I download ''epson scanner 2'' and the lab plugin ? Help me out please

Hi Linus, great video! Thanks a lot for the great tips :) One question I have, do you have any focus problems when scanning directly from the scanner bed? Or are there differences in sharpness between your method and the insert from Epson? Thanks a lot :)

You dont need to crop into the image. It's ok to leave the border, that's what the border buffer setting is for.

Your vibe is so good

thank you so much for this video! I'm still struggling with some of the colours, what are your "color management" settings in epson scan 2 if you don't mind me asking? i don't know whether to go with color control, color sync or none x

Hi Linus. Thank you for your good info and great energy. Iʻm wondering - is the Precision 600 worth the $100 more? Iʻm not a teckie and want to do old family photos that donʻt need as high quality as your professional photos do. Is there a faster setting I can use? Thank you!

I totally see where you're coming from! There's a lot of things you can do in the NLP editing window to play with the colors and levels. I'd give it another go, if I were you, but whatever method works best for your process: do it! One of my favorite things about NLP is that scanning as a positive gives you a digital archive of unaltered/unconverted negs...which is one reason i'll never go back to Epson Scan's native conversion. It's convient for sure...but thanks for watching!!

Really good video and explanation :) I have one question. Does NLP fix colors on old negative films (30-50 year old degrated negatives) or should I continue using the curves method in Photoshop ?

This is amazing! would an Epson V500 get the same results even with Negative Lab Pro?

great video but still i have a question: After previewing and selecting the images that I want to scan, do you still need to make adjustments in the histogram? @2:55 on the negative lab pro website it is explained that you have to set the output level to 0-255. did you forget it or is it not that important, i.e. you skip this step and still get the quality shown in the video?

Omg this video changed my life!!!? Thanks heaps braaaaah

Do you change any color settings for the negatives? I set up a profile so it doesn't automatically change exposure when I select the borders. I noticed it autocorrected when you did, but have you seen this affect the final output much?

Oh hey, that's me in the background lol Great vid Linus!

Hello, nice video. I have a question: Could I scan a 120 negative in any epson or canon or other scanner and then do the conversion in the negative lab pro? ( I mean without any negative carrier, and maybe only the AN glass).

Hi, thanks for the great information, question: if I crop out the borders before NLP cooks the image, how do I reintroduce the border again, I mean the whole point of scanning with border is to show the border later right? Am I missing a step, or will NLP not work well with borders? Thanks in advance

Thanks for this! If I plan to print A3 sizes will these images hold up? The quality of send away processing and scanning is making me break out my old equipment to process at home!

Any specific reason you set pre-saturation to “very low”? And do you do this for every photo?

I use SilverFast as my scanning software and it’s great. I would also evaluate that compared to this, since it has the ability to use the scanner’s built-in infrared scanner to to detect dust and eliminate it. But second point. Wow this guy was charming. What a personality and a smile!

You're right, it hasn't been out for that long! After searching for Epson Scan 2 I discovered something. It wasn't covered in your video (you may already know) but Epson is providing a free download to SilverFast SE for users who own the V550 and V600. I only used it for a few hours yesterday, most of what I know about the program is from KZread videos, but it seems like a more high-end program with a lot of great controls, which you usually have to pay for. All in all seems like it's a really great perk if it's something you'd be interested in playing around with! Here's the link I used: epson.com/Support/Scanners/Perfection-Series/Epson-Perfection-V600-Photo/s/SPT_B11B198011?review-filter=macOS+10.15.x

@linusandhiscamera

well, honestly - the V550 is more than enough in my opinon since it can scan extremely high resolution. i'd only consider getting a v700 or v800 if you'd like to scan a little faster (the entire bed is a film scanner as opposed to the middle strip of the V550), AND they can scan 4x5 and 8x10 film.
