Where are the presets?

@Ami, a scan of a silver halide negative does not know what camera and lens it was taken with. Neither does it know any specifics on how the film was developed.

The negatives I work with now date back from anything between the 1970s and the early 2000s. I find negatives that are easy to convert even manually and I find negatives that I spent a lot of time adjusting.

The series I presented in my earlier post were meant to illustrate how results depend on NLP’s settings - converting a “Kodak Safety Film 9014” - and to find out what setting I liked most on this film of 1978. Whether these settings will work on later films or not remains to be seen though.

I found that NLP is fairly tolerant regarding the exposure of the camera scanned negatives, provided that exposure is not pushed too much. ETTR can help with noisy camera sensors, but again, don’t overdo it.
