Black Hill Landscape 4x5 by Pali K, on Flickr

Was really bummed out because I had great light to work with but I mistakenly polluted the CD with B&W Fixer (don't ask how... I feel stupid!) 4 sheets were in the drum and they all got severely fogged and had random development issues. This one has blotches in the sky and some orange glow spots but the scan is still usable.

Very nice. The blotches don't seem to hurt it at all. Lucky you on recovery from a mess up. Did you scan this neg? Is it a color print? Your color balance is very nice. Would love to know the details of making the positive image.

Winger,

What developer did you use? I think you have some wonderful tonality in that photo.

Thank you! I did scan it on a drum scanner that was able to pull any detail there. The fogging is quite bad so the entire detail was compressed in the darker range of the negative. I was happily surprised that colors didn't shift too badly as it did on the other negatives.

For scanning, I always scan as 16 bit raw negative and then convert using ColorPerfect. In color perfect, I set the white balance to the clouds and then adjusted the levels. There was slight magenta cast in the shadows after this that I removed using color balance adjustment for shadows.

Happy to add more details on the work flow if you have questions about anything specific.
