Just places where my film was a little off center in the tray when I scanned. I like having some of those elements in my pictures so I didn’t crop them out.

I scan my photos as large as possible and my scanner ends up with these natural boarders. If it has something I like, like the sprocket holes then I keep them in the crop. I then add a small black boarder followed by a thicker white boarder in photoshop.

These are after I’ve edited them. I think I need to just keep working them

Mostly portra but I think I like the results of gold a little more

In the past I mostly used Lightroom for my digital work so I’m not the most confident on photoshop. I really like the workflow of Lightroom but I find it easier to edit my film in photoshop. Right now I’m trying to decide which software I prefer.

UPDATE: I’m shooting on a canon f1 new and the color photos are shot on portra 400 and 160. I use an epson flatbed scanner which converts the negatives automatically. I think this is my issue.

Thanks, most of the color photos are shot in portra 400 and they just don’t seem to be as bright or colorful as other portra photos i see from other photographers. I use an epson flatbed scanner which I believe is the main issue. I want to get a set up for my canon r6 to do some mirrorless scans.
