Kodachrome Workflow Test
First test sample from the Kodachrome workflow I am working up currently. Testing for maximizing image data for use in a Lightroom workflow. This sample was scanned in SliverFast using multi-exposure and scanning to a 48-bit HDR file. Then that HDR file was manipulated in SilverFast HDR, setting the White and Black points to the highest and lowest values detected in the scan. Hopefully this averages out and maximizes color data in the image before exporting as a 48-bit TIFF.
This TIFF was then opened in Photoshop ACR. Using ACR as an alternate for Lightroom, I adjusted the overall image, setting a custom white balance, and adjusting Clarity and creating a custom Tone Curve. Local Adjustments were used in 4 areas, creating differing exposures and saturations on different parts of the image. The goal was to see how much manipulation I could perform on the image before the image "broke" creating garbage.
I feel good for a first pass at a Kodachrome scanning/Lightroom workflow. Hopefully in the coming days I will have this further refined and will share my entire process on LifeInDigitalFilm.
