>>3860526>Just convert to mononchrome.Monochrome conversions always seem so artificial in software.
Pic rel is a monochrome conversion from the same camera and lens, but of a film related subject (a broken medium format, Soviet rangefinder). I feel like it looks.... artificial.
>>3860533I'll try desaturation in future, thanks.
>>3860540While ture... I guess you could still implement such a paper texture digitally anyway - Luminar 4 has the ability to add textures to images. It's actually the tool I use to turn negatives into positives - but I just change the settings a bit. All I really need for the texture is just a .png file of a white 4:3 image I created in gimp to create a "difference" of.
Pic Rel was from the earlier attempt with paper, but B&W.
>>3860542I have a Canon Lide 300 which I obtained using grocery store loyalty points, because the previous Epson flatbed scanner I had shart the bed and stopped even scanning normal documents. The Lide 300 was a stopgap for maintaining document scanning to .pdf - I did attempt to scan some strips of negatives, but the scanner can only output .png, .jpg and .pdf, and really only .tiff has the flexibility for turning negatives into positives while white balancing the film medium out.
