Negative inversion and processing help please
Hi, I'm using DT since a couple of months, and I have a few pipeline questions.
I capture my negs with a Nikon Z5 / Nikkor 50MC, CSLite and CSLite+ Spectracolor, auto WB settings, and auto exposure settings in camera.
- Should I instead use a fixed color temperature for any and all film roll?
- What's the most correct illumination setting, in Color Calibration, for a CSLite + / Spectracolor table? I currently use the settings for LED light Violet, or LED light Blue, or Incandescent high CRI 5000, and while they are "good" perceptually, any setting tends to be inconsistent in a row on images got in the same location and time, even with Negadoctor staying the same throughout. Is this a problem of auto WB in digital camera capturing?
- Should I edit the Exposure module, in a negative inversion pipeline, or leave it at default, and use either or both the exposure bias and paper pivot in Negadoctor?
- What's the correct process to copy / paste edits?
- I noticed that lens correction specifically (maybe others) edits don't get copy pasted, unless I use CTRL+SHIFT+C / CTRL+SHIFT+V and select "Append".
- Also, "Overwrite" does reset and deactivate any other module except the ones selected, instead of only overwriting the ones selected and leaving the Others in the current state, whatever it might be: is overwriting only X and leave Y untouched, the case for "Append"?
- I'm unclear as to what CTRL+C / V actually does, whether some subset of Append, or Overwrite, or other.
- In the negative inversion pipeline, what is the correct stack order for Negadoctor and Color Calibration? Which should stay on top?
- In a way, it's proper that Color Calibration should stay on the bottom, but then, all the illumination choices are blind, as whatever you do there, screws with the negadoctor selections, no? Any suggestion for the order of operations in the two modules?
Thank you!
