There are plenty of film emulators, but how come no-one has created film reversal profiles to convert camera scanned negatives into positives?
I've created my own, but I would love for professional pre-made profiles to be available. Kodak, Lomo, Ilford etc could even get in on it as it would boost film sales.

Sony has software which will apply many positive, negative and instant film profiles at any image you will toss in.
What they don't have is after Christmas processed film profile and dusty lab profile and then temperature went wrong profile and so on

Sony has film profiles that you can use for editing colour negative film into positive images? Where? I'd love to check it out.

DxO Film Pack 3 I have officially for free is applying film profiles on any images you will load in. You could edit then how filmish it is for your taste.

I too would like to find the Sony profiles for converting camera-scans of negatives into positives.
I've been doing a lot of experimenting with camera-scans. Color Perfect is high on my list.

Cool!
"ColorPerfect's ColorNeg mode has built-in characterization data for hundreds of types of color negative film from Kodak, Fuji, Agfa, AgfaColor, Konica, China Lucky, Rollei and Ferrania. See a listing of all film types included."

Huss, I've been using ColorPerfect for camera-scan of C-41 negatives.
CP has a LOT of profiles and they are quite helpful. Here's a list. It is pretty easy to get good results from almost full-auto with CP in my experience.
VueScan also has profiles for many films. Some are helpful (e.g. Fuji 200), others are report to be way out of date (e.g. all the Ektar) and, in my testing, ineffective.

Custom profiles really need to be built for your scanner, camera and printer. Canned are ok but custom are much better.
I custom profile all my cameras under different lighting and use them in Lightroom. I actually just built a sun light profile for a Fuji XE-1 I just bought. Custom profiles make a big difference.

Scanning ColorNeg material. Getting good color.
Question: Do we get good color from:
a. A good profile? or...
b. From auto options based on the data in the image?
Related question: How did the mini-labs do it? Profile? Or image data?
I'm thinking that shots were taken in all kinds of lighting, so there must have been automation based on image data. Like the way auto-WhiteBalance works in our digital cameras today.
Working with camera-scans of C-41 negatives, I find the auto adjustments are very important for getting reasonable color. I'm talking about:
- In ColorPerfect, set the film type, clipping points, gray point -- Very effective
- In PS, Curves... options-auto... Find light & dark, snap neutral midtones -- Very effective
- In PS, Auto-Contrast, Auto-Color, Auto-Contrast in sequence -- Pretty good
- In all programs, eyedropper on a good neutral -- Very effective

X-Ray, I concur. I built a Dual-Illuminant profile for my Sony digital camera. Comparing the results to Camera-Standard and to Adobe-Standard was very "illuminating." And, it's not hard to do. But that's for a digital camera.
How would you create a custom profile for working with C-41 negatives. Probably one for each film-type and lighting condition. I wouldn't know where to start.
