Adobe software for film scanning

Thank you for all the answers. It's so nice with a forum that's alive ;-)

Can see that there are several ways that are being used. I think I buy a good film scanner and Silverfast software, and edit in Photoshop as Per Bernsen writes.

An old enlarger can easily be repurposed to a repro stand by removing the enlarger head. That's what I did. Then you only need a light source with a piece of white translucent plastic over it, and you're good to go.

For Nikon users, the Micro-Nikkor 60mm/2.8 is a superb and underrated lens. It's not only razor sharp, but also flat-field and optimized for close ranges. It's the perfect lens to use for this.

I gave up on my Epson flatbed a long time ago. Not only is the effective resolution nowhere near the advertised and nominal one, but flatbeds in general are plagued with a particularly nasty form of chromatic aberration that can't easily be corrected. Look closer, and you have these red/cyan or yellow/blue fringes all over high-contrast transitions. They don't follow a normal radial pattern and so can't be removed in ACR/Lightroom, instead you have to correct manually all the way. It's a nightmare.

The most common 3rd party choices for film scanning software are either Silverfast or VueScan.

As for Adobe software, many shoot the negs with a duplicator or special backlit setup and DSLR and use ACR or Lightroom to process the raw camera file.
