Hi everyone, total beginner here!
Scored a really good deal on a Mju II and a Reflecta CrystalScan 7200.
I just finished my first roll of Lucky 200, had it lab developed, and scanned it myself using VueScan. My workflow was:
• 7200 DPI with Multi-Exposure enabled.
• Exported as RAW DNG.
• Converted via Negative Lab Pro (first time using Lightroom/NLP).
I'm not completely happy with the results. I’m seeing some noticeable lines/streaks near the edges.
Are these scanner calibration issues, Vuescan settings, or something from the lab? Would appreciate any tips on improving my workflow or fixing the streaks!
Lastly, I’d love some feedback on the images themselves. Since this is my first time using Lightroom and NLP, I’m not sure if I’m overdoing the sharpening or if my color correction looks natural. Any advice on the lighting, composition, or how I can improve my editing/scanning workflow to get the most out of this setup?
Thanks in advance!
