It may be bona fide software, but their current website looks a bit dodgy to me. Oh shit! That's worrying to hear. I usually surf with adblockers etc. so I didn't see anything when visiting site. But I guess some heavy (and shady) advertising is expected when software is free. And for hand conversion with Ps Auto-levels is really powerful tool. Just press ALT down and select auto and photoshop gives you a bit more creative control how it reads the image. Afterwards adjusting gamma from individual color channels can remove weird color casts. Ps. I found out the hard way that the scanning part of the process is really critical. Use high CRI lightsource and take white balance from it. And expose frames individually with matrix metering. Removes lots of work from postprocessing. Edited February 20, 2022 by Hintsalae 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hintsalae Posted February 20, 2022 Share #182 Posted February 20, 2022 Here's badly over-exposed shot with bad developing chems. Negative was riddled with color-shifts in every direction. Upper one is Grain2Pixel with extra color-correction enabled. Lower one is just white balance from border and then Auto-levels in ''enchance per channel contrast'' with snap to neutral midtones applied. Welcome, dear visitor!

Hintsalae Posted February 20, 2022 Share #183 Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Dug out nicer negative and scanned it quickly using x-t1, bellows with el-nikkor 50mm and white phone screen. Fuji C200 ''manually' with photoshop above Grain2Pixel without corrections below Welcome, dear visitor!

kivis Posted March 13, 2022 Share #184 Posted March 13, 2022 If you don't mind the slap of the mirror, the Nikon FE/FM are great choices. Sturdy, small, stylish and cheap. But not a Leica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not a Leica. I have an FM that I use occasionally. Very solid camera and inexpensive to buy. A great choice for someone wading into film photography for the first time. But, as you say, definitely not a Leica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
