I downloaded Filmlab Desktop for a trial period, and it works surprising well. The newest version allows for the user to select one of several options to adjust for the scanner's backlight.
So, I scanned and imported a color negative I took at Castle Crags State Park in northern California a couple of summers ago into the software. After some Photoshop post processing, I ended up with the following. I'm not going to be so glib as to call it art; but, it's not that bad. Note that the same image in Photoshop looks a lot better than what we see below. It's unlikely I could have some up with this image without using some sort of color negative convertor.
I would call this a win for FilmLab.
One negative about FilmLab; it exports in the sRGB workspace. Are you kidding me??? That's hard to believe.
