When you have an idea for a film photo, there are many steps to the process, and some happen long before pressing the shutter button. In this video, Abe talks about planning to capture eclipse photos on a half frame film camera, anxiously looks at his negatives for the first time after getting them developed, scans the negatives, digitally stitches some of his scans, and processes the files in FilmLab to get finished images. After all that work, will there be some good photos in the end?

Wonderful video! At 22:43, there's a quality i really like about the beginning and end frame, it tells me a story of a shy corona first hiding as the camera isn't centred, and then becoming bolder i understand limiting it to just the five, and i may just be insane just outstanding results and it was a pleasure seeing the whole process on video

Thank you! I agree that there might be something to keeping both corona photos. There's more than one way to make a "print" from these negatives, and my opinion might change over time. That's one reason we believe in scanning in formats that let you make different creative decisions later without having to re-scan!

Thanks for mentioning it, I just watched his video and really enjoyed it! I can absolutely relate to his feelings about doubting whether the photo would come out 😅

Hi - I needed some help with the latest version of Film lab - getting wildly uneven results, I wanted to know if I was doing something wrong. Do you have a support page or an email I could write in to with some screenshots of what I think is going wrong? Maybe you could advise me? Also super cool eclipse images!
