And remember I want to do as few adjustments for each scan as possible, which means I'm going to have as much set to auto as possible. So I just needed to scan my negatives as negatives, for this to work.īut just for fun I also tried to scan them, where I used the two programs to convert the negative, using their internal film profiles. OK a bit about my procedure, I use Negative Lab Pro (NLP) – a Lightroom (LR) plug-in – for my conversions from negative to positive, because it's gives me the best result color wise. And secondly I simply was curious to know which one was fastest. I did this because I need to scan a lot of old negatives, and I for one, think that the scanning process is the only less joyful thing to do in the whole analog photography process, and with these old negatives – mainly holiday photos – I just wanted a quick way to get through them and not lose too much in quality. That shouldn't prolong the scanning time, unless you add more features, like noise reduction or multi scan, which I don't use. And this part is of course a matter of individual taste, you may prefer other settings then what I used. I started out spending some time finding the right settings in both pieces of software, I haven't included that here.
But feel free to add a comment below, with your own experience or advice on what I could do better. You can of course tweak and adjust for perfection for each scan, and that will obviously give you the best result for each scan – in either Vuescan or Silverfast – but like I said that wasn't my goal here.įirst off I want to make clear that I'm certainly no expert, there are a lot of technical stuff I know jack about, This is made purely from a personal perspective. My idea for this little test, was to see which software would give me the best result, at the shortest time.
