We would have loved to see your version, but it would have been especially helpful to be able to work on an unresized file.

The noise from the scan is still where you left it :-)
It would be interesting to see what a reproduction from a medium format digital camera looks like.

This is your ...

Personally, when I load a new file, I usually uncheck all the “Remember” boxes before resetting the settings to “Restart.” After that, I recheck all the ‘Remember’ boxes and start working on the file. Obviously, with the “Remember” boxes checked, I can exit and re-enter CP while retaining the ...

These are some noise reduction examples performed with an older computer and older tools like Nik Collection Dfine2. More up-to-date tools can be used to achieve better results.

In this case, the noise was planed after processing with PerfectRAW.

Of course, the option of pre-denoising, obtaining a ...

Okay, so I misunderstood your last post. You know how it is, translations are sometimes flawed.
It could be that there are some edge cases that fool the algorithm. I haven't encountered any yet involving the edges of the frame, but apparently it can happen.
The important thing is that if you need ...

Maybe I missed something. Now the problem is when you crop the black border of the frame?
Do you mean, if we load a file with a black border into CP3, the base curve appears consistent, but when we crop the black border, the base curve goes haywire?

These are two tests of a black-and-white negative shot with a glass-lens Holga camera and a color slide under critical lighting. It seems to me that CP performed well with both the mixed (black and white) and black borders.

Here's another version that should have better color.
I'm also attaching the TIFF file.

[citazione]Ecco come è venuto fuori per me. [/citazione]
Sembra così dalla tua parte quando l'apri semplicemente in CP, senza alcuna regolazione?[ /citazione]
Quando lo apro in ColorNEG appare così (istogramma allegato). Quando resetto il BP (ON) appare così (istogramma allegato).
I inserted the ...

That's how it came out for me. I haven't done much film testing. After looking at some Kodak films, I went straight to Fujifilm, and I assume it can be better.
You can download the attached TIFF file for a better look.

Being able to work with the edge of the negative without it affecting the curve calculation is a useful option for many.
Personally, I always exclude it, but I have some images—specifically, some I take with a Holga camera or a pinhole camera—that I like to have with the edge of the negative ...

Yes, after this explanation, everything is clearer. Now that I know, if I have to think about how a base curve works, your explanation is enlightening.
In fact, it was easy to get to the result I achieved with the two seagulls, just as it was easy to balance the rose in question precisely because I ...

Something that's never happened to me before: When I opened this converted file with MakeTiff, the PerfectRAW response curve was quite abnormal. Then, after working on it, I managed to fix it as shown in the attached example.
However, I wanted to understand why a file that appears perfectly normal ...

You can actually see the film in my shadows.
These are two new examples, both set to Kodak Advantix 200, because I made the first one, the one with BP OFF, yesterday. For the second example, I took the BP OFF and loaded it into ColorPOS for further adjustments.
Regardless of the FilmType/SubType ...

Hi,
I tested your negative file with CP3, and this is the result.
I don't know how you scanned it, but it's true that when you open the file in ColorNeg, it appears very contrasty. To achieve this result, I reset the BP, but I didn't turn it off, I just reset it.

Well done!
This is a serious subject, and only CP colors—which I, in fact, call “serious colors”—can do justice to the stone, the earth, and the sky.

I tried processing it myself, and it came out like this. We can always argue about whether the tone is too warm or too cold, but that's beside the point. The image comes out well, but because of the more underexposed lower area, I preferred to lower the BPTails completely. However, I'm not sure I ...

I wanted to show you an Imacon scan of a slide from the 1990s processed with ColorPos.
A difficult shot in very strong backlighting, further complicated by the positive support.
After years of digitization attempts and limited success, I finally achieved the desired result, with legible and detailed ...

Perfect, thanks. Now it opens directly in PS.

I also tried processing this TIFF file with ColorNeg. When I opened the TIFF file, it opened in CameraRaw, so I put it in MakeTiff and went directly to ColorNeg. Maybe my result is too warm, but regardless of the color, the rest seems pretty good.

Hi Jochen, welcome!

The quality is really excellent. I’m running some tests with the latest CP3 update, which introduces the new feature of edge detection for color negative reproduction. I’ve been doing this mainly as a beta tester to make sure there aren’t any bugs, as can sometimes happen with ...

Hi Mario, welcome.
You do a lot. Keep in mind that if you want all the color quality of CP on your digital files, you can work with PerfectRaw on your digital files. Additionally, CP3 has a new DC feature dedicated to developing film reproduction with a digital camera. This feature complements film ...

With the best of wishes, it will continue to be this way for many years to come!

May 2026 be a year full of satisfaction for all of us!

Santi, welcome to this den of color enthusiasts.

When I think of all those smartphone accessories, such as grips, extension lenses, tripod mounts, and who knows what else, we can say that the phone has been transformed into a real camera.
Among other things, they are also nice to look at with their ...

Hi Ethanshen,

It's true, I was happy with AutoColor, but when Gray Click works well, it's unbeatable.

Autocolor 333 is more accurate than the previous version, so you don't even need to use AutoColor Clic anymore; it works very well by default.
You can adjust the shot with RingAround.
You don't ...
