I used a 2 stop soft GND filter to control the exposure in the sky and we’re dealing with the rich, vibrant colors of an alpine sunset. The second image is a sunset scene from a backpacking trip in Wyoming. There’s hints of blue sky between the clouds, and since it’s not sunrise or sunset the clouds should have a general white appearance while retaining some of the charm of film hues.
The first image will be a daytime scene from Zion National Park in soft partly-cloudy light. The Photographs - this time I want to do two different images to show a wider variety of scenes that you might be trying to scan.
#My epson v700 photo scanner will not scan to computer software
If you don’t own an Epson scanner, you’ll find there are likely similar settings available in your software and the Photoshop portion of this article will still be very useful. These are very common scanners that are likely owned by a large number of film users. EPSON Scan is the software that comes with these scanners, so the process will be very similar if you have one of the smaller scanners such as the v500, v600, or one of the newer large v800/850 units. This is a very common scanner for large format photographers that gets the job done and can scan film up to 8x10. Many of you may know that I also use a drum scanner, but for the sake of being helpful to a wider base of photographers I’ll be covering scanning with an Epson flatbed - the v700. At the very end I will have photoshop files with all the layers for you to play around with and learn! *Disclaimer: This is not necessarily the right or only way to do anything, this is just an outline of the general workflow I use.* The goal of this article is to help people get the best results from their color negative films. For an overview of the various film types I use, see my blog post here. The scans that I’ve gotten the most questions about are my color negative images, particularly Kodak Ektar, as people find the colors can be difficult to work with once the film is digitized. We all grow as photographers and over time my process has been changed and tweaked ever-so-slightly.
One of the top questions I get from other film photographers is “How do you get those colors out of your film scans?” This was true back in 2013 when I first wrote this post and it’s still true today, so it’s time for a complete overhaul of this article.
