DXO Photo Lab works great with color negative scans

Here’s another example:

Here, you can see that I did a few additional adjustments

  1. noise reduction: Not really necessary in this shot. The grainy surface of the stone must remain.
  2. Colour Accentuation: Vibrancy increased. Saturation at 0, other settings introduce odd effects.
  3. HSB: Works as expected. I wish there was an orange slider!
  4. Vignette: Looks too strong in the screenshot. Is ok on screen though.

Again. this is done from a fairly easy to work with negative film. I usually bought 400 ASA Kodak films, but this one has no code printed on it and I don’t remember what it was.
