I scanned the same photo 3 different ways.

1. Fuji Frontier
2. Nikon Coolscan 8000 ED with VueScan + NLP
3. Nikon Coolscan 8000 ED with VueScan color inversion for Kodak Portra setting

Pros and cons to each type of scanning.

Once I get NikonScan working, I will compare that as well.

Right now my 2 main fave ways to scan are with Fuji Frontier (I rent it at a darkroom) or with my CoolScan with VueScan and NLP.

@skinnylatte Which one do you think turned out the best?

We attempted to scan a glossy photo on a home scanner, and the colors were weirdly oversaturated. I ended up carefully taking a photo of the other photo, and hopefully it is good enough.

@sepdroid the Fuji is always the best out of the box. It’s the machine that photo labs use when you get them to scan. The other 2 are home scanners so anything even vaguely close to the Fuji makes me happy. Comes down to diff workflows

@sepdroid for scanning a printed photo try Google PhotoScan. I use it to keep a record of childhood pics when I visit my parents
