Re: Using PWP to enhance scans from negs

As I said above I am using the latest version. It seems that I can add another image to a workflow I have actioned and it will load. 'Remove All Images' seems to be the culprit in not loading a new selection after it has been used to clear the old selection. It is no big problem to close the workflo...

Re: Using PWP to enhance scans from negs

I'm using the Workflow and widgets and it is working fine. However, I never seem to be able to load a second batch pictures without closing the Workflow and starting another one. When I try to load another batch, or reload the ones I did a second time, every 'icon' says 'Loading'. Is this a bug or s...

Re: Using PWP to enhance scans from negs

Thanks Hans, As I was trying to say when I replied to Dieter my concern is speed and not quality perfection. I want a web browsable summary of what negatives exist. I want to create it as quickly and painlessly as possible and then get back to having a life taking new pictures. If anyone looks at it...

Re: Using PWP to enhance scans from negs

losing either your shadows or highlights, as you would if you pulled the dynamic range controls off-scale instead. Thanks, Kiril. That is the point I was misunderstanding. I'll re-run the untreated jpgs again this morning - the advantage of putting the results of my PWP widgets in another folder an...

Re: Using PWP to enhance scans from negs

Contrast is proportional to the slope of the brightness curve. Because of that, expanding the contrast to full scale will have only a small effect on contrast. Would not that increase the degree of the slope? If you make the blacks blacker and the whites whiter then surely the contrast has to incre...

Re: Using PWP to enhance scans from negs

Thanks Kiril,

Points taken.

My problem was how to save the actual workflow itself - and then find it again half an hour later when I had forgotten how I saved it.

I used the File box within the workflow - but I don't think you say that anywhere - or do you?

Re: Using PWP to enhance scans from negs

Thanks Kiril and Dieter, Oddly the Full Range does not make much, if any, difference to the flatness of the jpgs. Don't know why. But I can stretch the slider to 10 or so either side. And I have done a batch with about 20 extra brightness. Probably not the optimum but I can experiment. If I construc...

Using PWP to enhance scans from negs

I am embarking on the daunting task of scanning some of my ten years of negs into digital positives for web folders. Wisely (I guess wisely) the Epson Scan software defaults to a flat positive. I am sure this is ideal as one can always add contrast and stretch the tonal range. Snag is an image that ...
