This course explains a complete workflow for scanning 35mm film using the SilverFast software and a dedicated film scanner. The lessons focus on practical steps that help you understand how to digitize both negative film and positive slide (Dia) film.
You will be guided through the SilverFast interface and the main tools used during the scanning process. The course shows how different settings influence the final scan and how color correction tools can be used to adjust film images.
