Always use the lowest (native) ISO setting on your camera - some
cameras have ‘pull’ ISO, such as 50 or less, which you should avoid. Most
cameras either have a native ISO of 100, 160 or 200. Avoid using higher
ISO settings, or automatic ISO.
Always scan using the RAW format on your camera for maximum quality.
Convert color negatives using one of the software solutions detailed in
our VALOI Gear Guide (found on our website). Color negatives are very
hard to convert ‘by hand’ in an editing software, therefore investing in
good conversion software is important to get good color results. Black
and white negatives can be converted using the same software or ‘ by
hand’ in editing software.
