Color Clipping Issues
NLP V3.1.0
Canon R5, RF 100mm f/2.8L, CS-LITE+ SpectraCOLOR™ Light Source, 1/6s @ f/8.0, ISO 100
Hi, all -
Could you help me understand why I am seeing the color clipping below? This was taken with CineStill 400D, which certainly blooms the highlights, but the lab preview scans I have of this photo was able to recover detail within the flower. Other photos of these flowers had the same result in NLP. I’ve fiddled with all the settings I could think of in NLP, but am unable to recover the detail or get consistent colors.
Am I underexposed my scan for the density of those highlights? I maintained the same exposure settings across roll to take advantage of Roll Analysis (which seems to generally provide better results and is a welcome feature
).
I’m not overly concerned about getting good results on these specific images since they were just test shots, but I would like to understand what is happening here for future reference. New to DSLR scanning / NLP and really happy with the results compared to the lab scans - this example notwithstanding. ![]()
