about film scanner

talked about scanner on the nam sun wai trip with a few people

yup the home-use scanner arent very good
take a look (click to enlarge)

1. scanned by YMT store
3. scanned by my 8600
2. no.3 -> after photoshop following color tone of no.1

it is almost a must to photoshop it for the contrast and a bit on the color tone
else e2c picture will look like normal negative, as the scanner will help you to color-balance it...

after photoshop the contrast / color tone can be close to the store ones
(yet it is so hard to look the same as the bright/dark area will go too extreme... =.=)
but still, many details at the darker / lighter part are lost...

I use it just to save $ XP
