FilmLab: Negative Film Scanner

I have tested this app with b&w and color negatives above my film lightbox. Screen preview In the phone is regular and aceptable, but quality of the saved file is very poor. I use IOS 12 and iphone SE.

Does a decent job with black-and-white negatives. But it’s missing some major features, including the ability to select a bunch of scans and upload them at one time rather than individually. Also, I don’t see why cannot have manually adjustable exposure. Even better would be if it used the HDR feature on the camera to capture a wide dynamic range so negatives are a slightly under exposed and slightly overexposed all capture perfectly and separated out. Add all these features and it’s worth $25.

Seems like a scam

Please be a little patient and discover an amazing app!! It works great if you put your negative against a light source, you’ll be amazed!!!

Not sure why this app has poor reviews. I have tried the other negative scanning apps in the App Store and FilmLab works the best. It scans negatives with a clean and easy to use interface. It has just the right amount of tools and will save a Tiff file. It doesn’t have the intrusive magic filters or colorizing features that are always in your face. It’s a solid straightforward app.

I downloaded this app and paid for the monthly subscription. It keeps telling me to login but it never gave me the opportunity to set up a login and password. It won’t let me do anything at this point.

Wow this app was awful before but now it’s telling me I need to pay for a subscription to scan photos after my 11 “free” scans. I PAID MONEY for this app a few years ago. This company should be prosecuted for THEFT. Worst app ever.

Can’t focus the camera, app freezes up, can’t even take better pictures to import them cause it’s locked behind a pay wall

It used to work great in the old version and I always used it to have a quick preview of the negative before printing it on an enlarger or scanning. I would be happy to pay for the old version.

I supported the development of this app. Now I see that this douche wants everyone to pay him $6 a month just to do what the app was supposed to do in the first place. People like this ruin the software world for everyone.
