>>4408766getting rid of bayer is actually not that important in color nergative film scanning
what has actually bigger influence on colors is the scanning light
what you need is a RGB light, not white light
>but you just need to use high CRI.... yada yadaNO shut the fuck up
Color negative film was created to be scanned on RA-4 paper, which is sensitive to thin bands of RGB light wave lengths. White light create shitton of crosstalk between color channels and irreversibly destroys color information while scanning, that's why you need shit like Negative Lab Pro which makes some algorithm magic to somehow unfuck the colors from the lackluster data.
With a RGB light you can just inverse manually the picture, set black and white points, slight color temp adjustement and done.
That's why EVERY PROFFESIONAL scanner like Noritsu or Frontier or any other use RGB light.
