Guest JMF Posted October 28, 2017 Share #121 Posted October 28, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I finally located a complete BEOON after nearly a year of searching. Initial test with a 60mm R Macro Lens and M10 looks positive, but I need to test further on my slides. Is anyone scanning negatives? How do you reverse the image? To reverse the image, you can use the Colorperfect plugin for Photoshop . Been using it today with Kodak Gold 200 negatives, working fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug A Posted October 28, 2017 Share #122 Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) How do you reverse the image? I have been reversing the image with Affinity Photo, but I recently downloaded a trial copy of Iridient Developer and have been experimenting with it for reversing the image as well as converting the RAW scan (of my B&W negatives) to monochrome. The jury is still out on which tool I prefer for that part of the job. In both cases I do the rest of the post processing with Affinity.

I just discovered you can simple take the curve and drag the left endpoint of the curve to the top, and the right to the bottom and it reverses the negative. You can also do basically the same thing in Preview on Mac by flipping the whites and blacks in the levels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug A Posted October 28, 2017 Share #124 Posted October 28, 2017 I tried that too, before I gave up on Adobe (long before the current issues) but then all of the sliders worked backwards. I couldn't get my head around it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasticman Posted October 28, 2017 Share #129 Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) Heads-up to anyone looking for what appears to be a complete boxed BEOON - LPfoto is auctioning one, together with an Elmar 65 and Visoflex, this afternoon: http://www.lpfoto.se/auk/w.object?inC=LP&inA=20170315_1247&inO=500 Think it’s still not too late to register for online bidding. PS: ought to add that I have no connection with the auction house or seller, and haven’t inspected it in person.

digitalfx Posted October 28, 2017 Share #131 Posted October 28, 2017 Is there a Leitz 6X6 mask for the BEOON? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug A Posted October 29, 2017 Share #132 Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) Is there a Leitz 6X6 mask for the BEOON? No. The three masks supplied are for 2:3 format originals with reproduction ratios of 1:1, 1:1.5 and 1:2 (and 1:3 with no mask installed). I have used the 1:1.5 mask to "scan" a 6x6 with two shots that I stitched together. (I do NOT recommend this. The opening in the mask is slightly too small so a part of the image is lost.) I've also been looking for a donor 24x36 mask to make into a proper 6x6 mask. Edited October 29, 2017 by Doug A 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalfx Posted October 29, 2017 Share #133 Posted October 29, 2017 I tried that too, before I gave up on Adobe (long before the current issues) but then all of the sliders worked backwards. I couldn't get my head around it. Its actually more complicated than simply backwards...I cant seem to find a pattern, but definitely not just reversed. For example the Saturation slider won't remove all the colors in either direction. To overcome this, just export the file and re-import. All the sliders are then correct This seems to be the only solution. thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalfx Posted October 29, 2017 Share #134 Posted October 29, 2017 I still have work to do to extract the best files...but starting to get nice results from a box of 20 year old negatives. Thanks for all the tips. Welcome, dear visitor!

I've also been looking for a donor 24x36 mask to make into a proper 6x6 mask.In the good old days when we had to submit unmounted medium format slides to the stock libraries, we used purpose produced black cards where the film sat in and was secured in place by small "envelopes". They may still be available. If not, they'd be easy to make. I kept a few in all 120 formats. I use mine to scan with the Beoon. There's sufficient overlap for the Beoon to sit on thus keeping the film flat, and also acting as a mask for extraneous light. The other alternative is a large piece of black card, covering the entirety of the light table, with a channel cut to the width of a 120 strip and length to allow (say) three images to pass through. Set the Beoon in the middle and pull the strip through. I use this for 35mm. Hope this helps. Edited October 29, 2017 by Reeray 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reeray Posted October 29, 2017 Share #139 Posted October 29, 2017 I meant to add that we also used (I still have) an A4 sized stiff card with 12 slots holding mounted 35mm slides. Insert the slides, place the Beoon on top and scan one by one with the images held perfectly flat. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
