You can download the latest DNG profiles here. You can help by sending me 48-bit HDR DNG files from Silverfast made with your scanner! I’m currently still experimenting with DNG profiles for Silverfast. For this type of scan, I would recommend trying the “ linear + gamma” tone profile first, and adjusting brightness and contrast first.Set other settings as you wish, and convert If working with Tif file, set source to “TIF Scan”. If working on a DNG, for now set source to “Vuescan RAW DNG”. In most cases, you should NOT use Lightroom’s white balance tool prior to conversion.If you’ve left borders in your scan, crop them out (or use “border buffer” during conversion to account for border).If you created a TIFF, you will need to go to “File > Plug-in Extras > Tiff Scan Prep” and convert from linear gamma (1.0) to gamma 2.2. If your scanned as a DNG, you will need to make sure you have added the custom profile (see info below).Import your Silverfast scans into Lightroom. Scanning to TIFF - it is also possible to scan to TIFF, but be aware that this will scan to gamma 1.0, and for it to work optimally in Lightroom, you will need to convert to gamma 2.2 (which you can do in Lightroom using the “Tiff Scan Prep” utility included with Negative Lab Pro.You can email me or PM a link to your DNGs, and I will build a profile for your scanner. I’ll include some experimental profiles below. Scanning to DNG - the preference is to scan to DNG, but for it to work optimally, I will need to create a RAW camera profile to use in Lightroom, so this method isn’t fully supported yet.Scan as “48-bit HDR” (depending on your version, this may be done different ways… at least in SF 8.8, I believe you need to go to preferences and check “HDR raw” ).Set Silverfast to scan in “positive” mode (so that it doesn’t invert your negative).(and here are a few examples of conversions from a user who was using these settings below) Here’s generally what I’ve seen users doing with good result: While I don’t have “official” recommendations on Silverfast conversions just yet, I wanted to start the conversation here and share a bit about what users have shared. But as of v2.1 of Negative Lab Pro, much of the recommendation and discussion is deprecated. I’ve left the original archived discussion below. The recommended workflow is to scan as 48-bit HDR DNGs. The quick guide below will show you how you can use SilverFast to capture your scans as RAW DNG, and then use Negative Lab Pro’s special SilverFast profiles to get amazing colors and tones from your film negative conversions. RAW SilverFast scans are now officially supported in Negative Lab Pro (As of Negative Lab Pro v2.1) SilverFast RAW HDR + Negative Lab Pro workflow (new v2.1) Silverfast
