DXO Photo Lab works great with color negative scans

I have just found one fairly practicable way with DPL for the treatment of photographed colour negatives

Preparation

  1. open the Tone Curve tool, leave RGB alone
  2. invert each of the R, G and B curves
  3. store as preset “negative” for reuse

Application

  1. apply “negative”
  2. pick white balance from something that’s supposed to be medium grey
  3. adjust each of the R, G and B curves so that the (RGB) histogram low and high edges match
  4. adjust the RGB curve to give proper contrast and brightness

Note

  1. Before you apply steps 3. and 4. above, you can adjust contrast and exposure, do not push the histogram too near to the edges though!
  2. The adjusted tone curves might NOT work for other negatives…
