What is it about shoes on powerlines? I took a very similar photo back in April when we were in New Orleans, and I've seen shoes on powerlines in France a couple of times.
There doesn't seem to be a consensus as to what it means, other than it being an act of littering and/or vandalism. but there is a Wikipedia article on it, that refers to the practice as "shoefiti":

Thank you for the app recommendations.
I'm using Lightroom and have also tried Negative Lab Pro. The outcomes have been inconsistent, with the most challenging aspect being achieving the correct white balance.

I don't use the most popular photo editing and negative conversion software, so take my recommendations with a grain of salt.
I don't understand why any photo editing software would not have negative conversion built-in. Building that function out to a separate application just makes no sense to me from a user's standpoint. It might make sense from a business standpoint to market another application, but that's another discussion altogether.
the DT approach uses a single software app to address these problems in stages, the first step being to do the automatic negative conversion. The Negadoctor module does a very good job in performing conversions for emulsions that range from very light to very dark. Then, I use the white balance module as a separate step when white balance corrections are necessary. To me, it makes sense to isolate these processes into separate steps so that you're not trying to accomplish too much in a single step, as doing that can make things very complicated.
the DT platform is quite powerful. Some people claim that it's more powerful than Adobe, because Adobe is intended to be more user friendly, but I can't speak to that. What I can tell you though, is that while the negative conversion is easy, DT has many modules that aren't what I would call intuitive, so it involves involves a steep learning curve. I don't consider myself a PP expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I've always been able to accomplish what I need to accomplish. I'm still learning so it takes me a long time to get things done. That's one of the main reasons that I hate PP.

Negative lab pro works well for me. The trick is to scan using slide setting and convert on basic for color. Works like a charm and so many options. Certain films are challenging like ektar

It's color conversions aren't always as quick n easy as black and white, but it gets the job done.

Exactly. Every time I get a request for feedback from Adobe I say include negative conversion software like NLP.

Darktable sounds intriguing I will definitely give it a try.

It was one of the best to demosaic Fuji XTrans files back in the day. I remember there being a hefty learning curve, but the community surrounding the software is excellent. I will definitely have to redownload it again soon. I want to rescan some of my old color negatives and see what I get.

For black and white I just do the simplest possible manual inversion of the intensities and go from there. For colour I don't yet have a plan, though initially I'll try the same approach. It'll be a while before I get a colour roll developed though, maybe in the interim I should also give Darktable a try.

Filmomat Smartconvert looks like a solid alternative to NLP and it’s a standalone application so you can avoid the Adobe subscription and the Darktable learning curve (tried DT couple of years ago and didn’t like it at all - ‚not user friendly‘ is an understatement imo)

A few snaps of some classics. Contax T3 + 250D. Home developed and scanned. I took some on 120 also that I haven't scanned in yet.
