Gonna give Negative Lab Pro a test run. Any pointers before I start the trial? I'm liking what I'm seeing. My v600 / VueScan work flow is good for most things, but I'd love to scan with a macro, and try to get the Noritsu colors my lab gets without splurging all the time. I took a year break from film and I'm already over budget after a few weeks of shooting. Will be picking up another c41 kit from FPP, too. Just watch the demo and pay attention to the fact that you have to crop out everything that is not
the actual image before you convert. Otherwise it will get an inaccurate colour fidelity and weird cast.
Good to know. That's pretty much how VueScan behaves, too. It takes an average of everything within the chosen crop area, so if you have any of the unexposed negative or a bright specular highlight, or (god forbid) a speck of dust, it can throw things dramatically in a particular direction. Gonna watch the video tonight, maybe start the trial soon. I saw something on Reddit where the developer was participating in the discussion and it piqued my interest. Folks are getting really good results out of it. Yours look awesome!
