Gday guys,
I have a bunch of shots that I have had developed. I plan to buy an epson V700 in a couple of months, but can't afford it right now.
I am in a remote city of Aus (Darwin) and there are no cheap scanning options. I could send the negs to a friend, but postage would outweight the benefits.
Basically I want to preview what my images will look like once scanned properly. To that end, I have used a tablet PC as a white background, and taken a photo with my DSLR.
I have then imported the photo into Photoshop, but am unsure of how exactly to get rid of the orange C-41 cast. It's doing my head in.
Here is the original photo:

Here is the photo after some manipulation to try and get the colours to somewhat normal:

And here is a similar photo from the DSLR:

The whole point of this is to see what / if anything I need to improve on as I continue to take Large Format images, but before I can purchase a scanner.
Cheers
Dan
