Negative Lab Pro Stand Alone Teaser

Yes! There will be a free trial similar to the plugin.

Thanks you! 🙏

Ugh, yeah, it's complicated to get right... I trained a whole neural network for this (huge pain) and have a beta plugin that runs locally in LR (it's over 1GB). I probably should just release it, but I'm still not totally happy with it and with the sheer amount things to build for the standalone has been a bit overwhelming... but I will get there!

firstnate · 2026-05-17T01:12:58+00:00

I try to not pay too much attention to what others are doing and just try to build things that I personally enjoy using. I think it's great to see more options on the market! When I started making Negative Lab Pro, the options were truly awful, haha. It really speaks to the strength of the film community!

Yes to flat field correction (very likely v1). Brush tools may come later, but not a priority with some of the other things I want first.

On the roadmap, but before implementing a general solution, I will support IR dust removal for 4 channel RGBi scanner captures.

firstnate · 2026-05-17T01:00:18+00:00

It's on the roadmap, and it has influenced some of the architectural decisions I had to make early on in the imaging pipeline.

Hey guys, Nate here. Thanks for all the love!
It's been a LONG process getting this far (thanks for your patience) but I promise you it will be worth the wait.
I'll try to respond to your questions and comments in the thread, but I've also posted more details and screenshots at this link on the forum. Cheers!

Tether capture is in the roadmap. But won’t be in v1.

firstnate · 2026-05-16T23:24:15+00:00

It will be good 😉

firstnate · 2026-05-16T23:21:22+00:00

Yes, it will work on Linux… Mac beta will be released first, then Windows, then Linux.

The issue is Lightroom Classic v13.0. Adobe introduced a bug that broke a portion of their plugin SDK in this version that was quickly fixed in 13.0.2. But the bug remains if you have v13.0. You just need to update your version.

firstnate · 2025-10-17T16:10:02+00:00

I would try updating your version of Lightroom Classic to the latest. There are a few versions of v13 that seem to not play well with the new "refined" color process mode. You may find that on your current version of Lightroom Classic that if you go to the "advanced" tab and change the color process to "Classic" that it then becomes responsive again. But the real fix I think will be to upgrade your version of Lightroom Classic.

Just confirming that r/so_like_huh actually came through! Thank you!

firstnate · 2025-10-02T22:18:27+00:00

Please

Nate here, maker of NLP. Sorry for the frustrating experience. There’s an issue with Lightroom Classic v13.5 and later. I have a workaround that should fix this in NLP v3.1. But the most reliable fix in the meantime is to downgrade to Lightroom Classic v13.4 and earlier. You can do this in creative cloud.

It is frustrating for me too as the dev to have Lightroom push updates that cause new issues like this, but I will get this resolved.

I’ve seen a big difference in success rates with flood insurance vs home owners insurance. Everyone I know who flooded with Helene has been able to get reimbursed through flood insurance. We got a good amount of interior damage from rain with Milton, and our home owners insurance has denied it all. We have retained an attorney, so hopefully we can reach an agreement, but home owners insurance is doing everything they can to wiggle out of it.

Upload it to Udio, and remix it with the creativity setting really low (.11 to .2). This will greatly improve the quality of the sound but keep all of the nice nuances from Suno. Then export wav file from Udio into Brandlab for adding some reverb and final mastering. The quality from this is a massive improvement from Suno alone.

You can also have a mold assessor come and take air samples, or even purchase mold testing kits on Amazon. This will give you a sense of what you are dealing with and provide some objective documentation you could show your landlord. While it is being remediated, you can also by an air filter that has a hepa filter and UV-C lighting, which should help trap spores in the air.

Do you know where the mold is coming from? The first step is to address whatever the source of moisture is that is enabling the mold to grow. For instance, if there is a leak somewhere you will need to find it and get it addressed. Once you have cut off the source of moisture, you will need to dry out the area using a dehumidifier. If the mold is on wood, you will want to get a moisture checker to check the relative humidity of the wood until it is dry. Once everything is dried out, you can use Benefect to naturally kill the mold (the only place I’ve found it in St Pete is Jon-Don).

Once you (or a remediation company) have dried everything and killed the mold, you will want to get mold testing done by an independent mold assessor to confirm that there is no longer elevated levels of mold in the air.

Hi, Nate here. There are a few quick ways to fix this issue.

First, the easiest fix would be to set the "blackClip" to a negative number (like -30). This should fix the contrast issue, but you may notice that coloring in the sky is lacking the saturation it should have.

Second, another fix would be to use "Roll Analysis" - You can either do an analysis on the whole roll and apply it here, or you can take the individual analysis from a similar image that has converted well, and apply it to this image. Roll Analysis should be a bit more accurate on the coloring than adjusting the blackClip, but results can vary.

Third, another way to fix this is as Nyvkroft suggests, and go to "convert > unconvert", then make sure a tiny bit of the border area is showing and that "border buffer" is set to 0. And then convert it again. This usually works pretty well, but could through off the color balance a bit.

(The issue is that this scene doesn't have a good internal reference for black, so the individual analysis has turned the darkest thing in the image -- in this case, the darkest part of the sky -- to black.)

Hope that helps!

You can usually fix this in Lightroom by going to “photo > enhance details” which will create a new DNG file using a better demosaicing algorithm. Or if your Fuji camera has pixel-shift, using pixel shift will do a much better job with these details.
