I remember that someone had a set of Photoshop actions for scanned negatives. I went through a bunch of pages in this and the Film thread but can't see them anywhere. Can someone repost them please?

Scan as positive, crop out frame edges and clone out any really bad dust specs, then apply the filter.

Awesome, thanks a lot dude.

I'm scanning film with my Epson V600 as a positive .tiff file with all the scanner adjustments turned off (EpsonScan in pro mode), then running Banme.sh's actions on them. Then I flatten the image and save it so I can import it into Lightroom (my laptop cries if Ps and Lr are open at the same time). My question is that the colour balance is all over the place after running the actions. Is that normal? The result I get is very blue and not very contrasty. I'm finding that even with quite saturated filmstock like Ektar, I get relatively low-contrast results and getting accurate colours in Lr is very hard.

Am I missing something dumb? I'm having to move the tint and temperature controls in Lr almost to the furthest right of each slider just to get something that isn't blue.

Ok, so here are the results I'm getting.

Here's the scan. I just converted it to JPG, but otherwise it's untouched from the scanner.


Here it is after running the action with nothing else apart from flattening it and saving.


And here's hows far I had to move the sliders to get a usable result.
