For those who use Viewscan to scan negatives to raw files, how do you then do the inversion to positives. The inbuilt Photoshop is just a linear inversion. Do you use a curve that is similar to the film sensitivity curves? Cheers Greg

When you set up Vuescan for scanning B&W, you can tell it which brand of film it is, and pick _some_ of the varieties in that brand. Vuescan then, I assume, applies the curve attached to your pick when it processes the file, and presents you with a positive finished image. Perhaps if you ask Hamrick software you can get a more authoritative answer. Leslie Otterbein

Vuescan can directly store the film into a RAW positive image. You just have to select the RAW option in the output settings (I have the french version: "RAW sauvegarde de film"). Sylvain.

I work on the B&W negatives as a positive on screen. I set up my black point, white point, set curves, and scan as a RAW and as a TIF. The RAW is opened in LR and adjusted. I see no reason to work the scan as a negative. The presets that were mentioned are developing presets; CI. That might not mean much to you unless that is the way you originally worked with film. Keep the exposure based on not losing what you want to keep; shadows or highlights. _____
