NegaFix is the intelligent
negative function with support for more than 120 film
types and
an 'exposure' slider. This function allows the user to
produce brilliant quality images from negatives.
The negative-positive conversion
of standard-exposed and developed negatives using SilverFast's
NegaFix can be archieved with a few easy steps.
The NegaFix window offers three pop-up menus and a slider.
The pop-up menus are used for the selection of the appropriate
characteristics of the negative film:
a) Manufacturer, or film brand b) Film type or film name
c) Film speed (sensitivity)
By means of the slider, or the input field, the film
exposure of the negative can be adjusted within plus/minus
3 f-stops.
Image Frame Selection
Ensure the selection marquee is inside the image and
does not touch the perimeter of the film material.
The image on the right has been automatically optimised
with the integrated "Standard Profile".
Select Film Manufacturer
Select manufacturer or negative film brand: e.g. Agfa.
Select Film Type
Select the film type: e.g. HDC.
Select Film Speed
With the pop-up menue, select the film speed (ASA/ISO-value) of the actual
film. All chosen settings will be instantly updated in the preview window.
Correct Film Exposure
Normally, a correction of film exposure is not necessary. In case of the image
appearing too bright or too dark, use the slider to simulate a film exposure
of ± 3 f-stops. You will see the correction in real-time on the preview.
Apply Auto-Adjust
Now the process of negative-positive conversion is
complete. To fully optimise your image just press
the SilverFast auto-adjust from the tool bar as usual
and/or apply other SilverFast tools as desired.
