I’ve been mightily impressed with the Filmvert app from this post by @Donatzsky

Havent yet played with this scan myself, give it a go. Curious to hear your thoughts.
Development temperature was a little warm so a bit of grain to deal with.

now i really want b/w stock in @arctic’s agx-emulsion :slight_smile: i can of course print this negative on colour paper, and it will kinda work… but.

one thing i’ve noticed in your image is that it has this interesting blur in the periphery. i saw this in other images, and since it blurs the grain i assumed it happens during the paper exposure. now you only scanned the negative, how does that happen then? was the negative not entirely flat on the surface, or is it lens distortion in the capture device?

it’s quite pronounced, this is noise in the center:


and in the bottom left corner:

agx-emulsion? If so, how? There are no b&w films or papers in agx-emulsion?

No, not agx-emulsion. Agx the new tone-mapper module. from @kofa
