pakon f135 settings?

[IamMilošPetrović]

Hello there! This is my first post. I ve been shooting film since 4 years now and just got my pakon f135 scsnner.

I was wandering what are your prefered scanning settings when you scan with the pakon? How to improve dynamic range? Workflow tips?

Thanx for help!😉

The only major tip is to set the default contrast down to about -13. That will be good for the majority of scans. You can, or course, touch up each frame individually after the scan and before exporting. Export to a dedicated folder, you can set this to the desktop, and then from Lightroom do an import and MOVE to the Lightroom repository -- usually on an external drive. From there, you can do further touchups as necessary -- but the the Pakon, the touchups are usually very minor.
