Can someone please explain how to process so the sprocket holes are showing. Thank you in advance
Hi,
It’s really easy. A lot of people get tripped up because they are used to a program like Photoshop where cropping is “destructive.” But in Lightroom, you can always re-crop the photo however you’d like an no information is lost.
So…
- You don’t want the sprocket holes to be included in the image analysis (you just want the exposed film emulsion).
- So, before converting you can either crop out the sprocket holes, or increase the “border buffer” setting with the “preview” turned on until no sprocket holes are visible.
- After conversion, you can just recrop however you’d like in Lightroom. OR, if you used “Border Buffer / Preview”, it will then automatically return your image to how you had it cropped before you opened Negative Lab Pro.
Does that make sense?

This helps thank you
