NegRevel

Quick Start / Five steps

Quick Start

Start with one negative and the default Filmic profile. Five small steps from scan to photograph.

Prepare a Good Scan

Use a clean, evenly lit scan. Keep exposure fixed across the roll and avoid clipping any film-image color channel.

01

Bring in a negative.

Open NegRevel. Under Independent Mode, choose Load Negatives, or drop your file onto that panel. Start with a camera RAW, JPEG, or scanner TIFF.

Find the frame.

Check your photo in Sources. Use Auto Crop and review the result with Edit Crop. Straighten and refine the edges so the crop contains the photograph you want.

Give it your touch.

Adjust exposure, contrast, and white balance in the editing panel. Make small changes, compare the result, and use the point curve when you want more control.

Save it. Share it.

Save your editable work, then check the converted photo and choose Export. Select JPEG, 16-bit TIFF, or both, choose the image area, and pick a destination folder.
