Updated: film Q v1.0.0-beta.10 now includes the capability for lossless TIFF output in 16-bit color. Although the low-compression full 4:4:4 chroma JPEG files produced by film Q have sufficient data for considerable edits without introducing distortions, there may be occasions when additional color data is required. For instance, if you need to make substantial adjustments to exposure, contrast, saturation, or color balance of your scans, utilizing a lossless 16-bit per channel TIFF file can be highly beneficial. High bitrate files can aid in minimizing noise and avoiding banding, but they necessitate a genuine 16-bit color processing pipeline, which film Q now accommodates. However, it is important to note that TIFF files are significantly larger than JPEGs, and they are often bulkier than camera RAW files. Therefore, I recommend using this feature judiciously. Thank you for your support! Please let me know if you encounter any issues with this application or anywhere on Analog.Cafe. analog.cafe/app/filmq #film Q #website #editorialš„
TIFF files have a significantly larger size compared to JPEGs. They can also be more expensive to have your film scanned at a lab. But do the additional storage requirements and cost justify themselves? This guide includes an easy-to-use decision tree along with a detailed explanation of the commonly used digital image formats.
This guide will assist you in understanding the reasons and timing for appropriate overexposure, which films to overexpose, methods for overexposing your photos without compromising them, and how to scan and edit overexposed images.
