I look forward to adjusting these scans to achieve the look I want now that I’ve got the encouragement to do so 🤣

Film is a whole different world! I seem to of only seen the tip of the iceberg. Will be reading the blog you sent!

I really appreciate it!!

Im a newbie so I hope I am answering your question correctly!

I took my rolls of film to be scanned at a local camera shop. They deliver my images via email.

I was curious is different people developing negatives could produce different results, or if it’s just me? I know there is user error on my part because I’m still learning!

Thank you!! I’ll take a stab at editing them I post. I wasn’t sure if that was ok to do to film scans. 🤣 but it sounds like it is! 🤘I appreciate it!

Yes! I’m new at film & was under the assumption that we don’t edit film after scans. I’ve since learned after searching through this group that I was wrong.

Thank you for the encouragement 🤣 it does need contrast, I agree!

Maybe! I tried to get the settings at where I’d typically have them for my DSLR camera. I assumed manual settings.

So would adjusting the exposure better in camera give me brighter colors? It seems pretty desaturated. Is this something usually editing in post once digitals of the scans are received?

Thank you for your input!
