LS600 Recommended Scanning Parameters
ISO 200/24º C41 PROCESS COLOUR FILM
Unlike more traditional colour negative films, HARMAN Phoenix 200 does not
have an orange mask. This can affect scanner response and some adjustment may
therefore be required to achieve the optimum results. Some
recommendations for best settings are shown below. These scanning settings
were developed by HARMANLab.com in conjunction with and support from The
Darkroom.com, Analogue Wonder lab, Silverman Film Lab and Blue Moon Camera and
Machine.
Fujifilm SP3000
Below are our starting point recommendations. Nb. many labs will have their
own preferred workflow, so these should be treated as guidance only. These
settings can be assigned to a custom channel as follows.
Main Menu > Setup & Maintenance > Password “7777” > Print condition set-up &
check > Custom setting register.
Assign the settings to any free channel and save under appropriate name e.g.,
Phoenix – please see the Scanner manual for further information.
It is also possible to set a specific auto DX channel for the film, however
the settings are more limited, and this is not recommended, unless it is your
preferred workflow.
