Creating simplified Negafix curves
PostPosted: Wed Mar 19, 2008 5:53 pm
Hi All,
Does anyone know of a way to add or remove control points from Negafix curves?
I'd like to create a starting point profile like the <linear> curve but with three control points rather than one. The regular curves have too many points and color shifts for me to edit quickly or cleanly.
We scan a vast assortment of negs from different photographers, all shot and processed differently. This makes the canned Negafix "profiles" rather unsuitable since the variation in any given film/exposure/push/pull can seriously effect the overall response of a film type. In order to compensate I generally use the <Linear> curve to quickly adjust the gamma and film mask before fine tuning the compression.
This works okay though I'd like to have a little more control but not so much complexity that I have to fiddle for an hour to get things where they ought to be.
Thanks
