Ernest (the Abstractinator), interestingly, both of Your "favorite images" reveal some shimmer of the classic aesthetic way to take pictures - in the LUF this happens seldomly. You proofed, that a rara avis in terris is something very beautiful.  Thank You.

I do not know if it is the right thread, but we are here for film and most member scan or digitise the negatives or slides and do not wetprint and post a scan of the Print.
I know some do and the results are often great.
But i have no possibilitiy to do wetprints in the moment and digitise my negs with my Lumix and the Panaleica macro.
I bought Negative Lab Pro and i am pretty satisfied with the results.
A week ago i heard about another tool that cost about 90€ and i give it a try.
It is Negmaster and works as a Plug in for CameraRaw / Lr and PS. https://negmaster.com
It is not such a straight forward oneclick solution as NLP but you can adjust a bit more and if one get used to it it ist quite fast too.
The results are very good too. i like the results for landscape more than NLP.
May be at other scenes NLP would be better.
I haven't tested the software very extensively, but I will be using it quite often in the future. together with NLP
I would not say the results are better but they are different. i like the separation between oranges and greens in Negmaster

Here some comparisons with the same WB
first NLP than Negmaster:

Rog, these Lagoon series act as  a beautiful visceral  counterbalance to your highly intellectual and constructed "Bauhaus"  color field works. The Lagoon series are-for me- a kind of inkblot photographies--in german Rorschach Tests-- which allow the individual onlooker to tap his or her unconscious. The beasties mentioned afore are a good example. I'm aware of the fact that everybody of us has a highly individual visual biography so everybody is resonating differently--but these lagoon pictures would grace the desk of every shrink...  

Whoa, I appreciate your perspective and insight. I did not consciously think about Rorschach, but you bring up a pivotal concept in that Rorschach's inkblot test provides a way to ascribe meaning to an abstract form, which reflects a unique perception of the world. This certainly becomes the real estate of photography the moment we use language to chart the meaning or just a reaction to a photograph. Philip touched on this in the discussion of editing a photograph in the way a writer may edit prose, following Strunk's advise to writers to keep it simple. I'm oversimplifying, but in terms of a photo work, edit an approach that emphasizes bare essentials. Not easily done. Suppose that the artist wants to convey the sense of media overload and paranoia. What about something else that starts with the idea that barbed wire is an attitude, or darkness is an identity, and a grass field is packaging? I recall Eggleston's response to a question that would explain what he meant by a photograph, and he declined by saying that words (spoken or written language) and images were two different things. It brings us back to the Rorschach of the interpretation that betrays the interpreter. As Henri Cartier-Bresson said, "To my mind, photography has the power to evoke, and must not simply document. We have to be abstract, just like nature."

Abstractinator! My goodness, this sends me into the hall, chuckling. And I had to look up "rare bird," too. Thanks, but this is not say that I have heard the criticism of my work, casually dismissing it with a "This is for the birds!" Ha, ha. There is always the lagoon, and when the sun goes down, the stories begin.
