I just read Clive's post and thought I'd share a few quick tips along those lines. I have around 50 rolls of negative film along with a few thousand slides, some of which are seriously degraded. I examined the negatives and found that they are in really good shape so I decided to get to them while the getting was good.
Setup for scanning negative 35mm film rolls: 6" square Gange LED light box (can be used for larger format film & scanning 35mm slides)
home made film holder.
Procedure for scanning: manual WB setting the orange color as white (this is a crucial time saving step)
macro mode on camera to fill frame with single negative remote shutter release
Procedure for converting open scanned captures in PSE (my version 18)
invert each image using control i process multiple files choosing open files (file menu option) save as tiff for further processing browse tiff images (I use On1 browse, but PSE Organizer works too) fine tune WB and any other adjustments desired
After I fine tuned the overall process I was able to scan & save 100 images in about 1 hour (not counting any fine tuning)
Here's a sample of my daughter (she's now 46) this was cropped severely  |

Here's a better example, slightly cropped and fine tuned using On1  |

Encouraging results! Did she marry that young man?! I hope he is happier, either way!  |

Maybe you already showed us how to make this; if not, please do. I am assuming you are meaning the orange film-strip and manual WB in-camera; please expand upon this a bit. Also, how far from lens to negative ? Thanks. |

Here's an image of my setup ...
An alternative is using WB in ACR
The lens distance will be determined by your camera and lens.

Thanks.
The camera is fastened to the base, correct ?
The guide rails on the base where the light-box resides are for fine-tuning framing, right ?
It appears the camera is on "A" for auto or is that "A" for aperture ?
What exposure settings, Ap, Shutter, and ISO ?
Auto-focus or manual ?
Sorry for so many questions.

Thanks. The camera is fastened to the base, correct ? NO - just resting, position marked with blue tapeThe guide rails on the base where the light-box resides are for fine-tuning framing, right ? sort of - I use this for fine tuning focus - manual focus on my cameraIt appears the camera is on "A" for auto or is that "A" for aperture ? What exposure settings, Ap, Shutter, and ISO ? Auto-focus or manual ? I certainly can't answer exposure settings that will be effective for everyone - I use Aperture f/4, ISO= 100, manual focus - these settings are the best for my Panasonic Lumix fz300. Please note the 3 Hoya close up filters (1x, 2x, & 4x) attached to my lens.
This setup can be adapted for slides.

I didn't recognize just what filters they were, but I did notice them. The three together is a lot of magnification. Thanks for giving me some ideas to work with. |
