I was struggling to find a good solution for digitizing my 35mm films, until I stumbled across this three-step process: (1) use a real film scanner; (2) scan negatives in positive mode; (3) use the Negative Lab Pro plug-in to convert them into positive images. Watch the video and you'll see it's easier than it sounds...
NOTE: Scan times quoted may vary depending on your computer, USB connection, etc.
DISCLOSURE: I didn't receive any compensations, loaners, free trips, or any other form of incentive for the equipment discussed in this review. Everything you see here is gear that I researched and then purchased at my own expense for my own use.
All the YouTubers and podcasters satirically depicted in this video are fakes that I created in MidJourney. Yes, even the cat. Sorry, it's not a real cat.
