- This quick informative video explains how to get the best possible exposure using a digital camera or scanning film in both black and white and color. Building upon previous videos here on Figital Revolution 2.0 from the Zone System and Stand Development this video provides a brief exposure tutorial focused on understanding and maximizing what a histogram is really showing you with regards to bit-depth for greater tonality and enhanced creative options.
Viva la Revolution-

Well explained - thank you.
Excellent tutorial, nicely explained ❤ . Subscribed your channel. Please make some useful tutorial on zone system & Photoshop editing workflow.
I agree, when digitizing with my X-T3 I am always center/right and yes, loads of information there. This is a great series Steve - and I need to go back and watch it all again. Thank you.
You bet! Another video is launching I hope tomorrow 🤞 …
Great subject, one question, using Epson scanner, how would I get the scanner to expose to the right ? There is a histogram in the scanner software . I usually set the pointers to the shadow and the highlight end of the histogram. I get the process with a digital camera. Thanks, so much .
Depends on the software you are using for scanning - also a lot depends on the processed film and it’s density- using the techniques outlined here I find most of my negatives easily fit the middle or more to the right BUT no worries I am making my first scanning video this week/- this topic will be covered in the second one. As long as you have moved the end points you can easily try a curve or mid tone slide to move it more to the right- it should look light on the screen but not clipped.
@@FIGITALREVOLUTION Thanks, I for got to mention, my scans are all B&W. Also, I'm testing my 35mm B&W scans with a digital camera, I will expose the negs to the right. Also, I will be paying more attention to the initial exposure of my negs , too. After 20 years shooting in digital, I drug out some of my film cameras and are shooting all my B&W work on film, but scanning. No more darkroom, I'm too old for that work. Again, thanks for your tips, I just subscribed . KB.
Black and white in my opinion looks best on film-
Welcome to the Revolution!
@@FIGITALREVOLUTION yep, it's fun, with this hybrid system . Got all my film cameras out and serviced , 35mm, medium, and 4x5. So your up the road from me, Easthampton, Ma. KB
Just to clarify, you are not talking about A) the film camera exosure, B) the histogram of the scanned negative before conversion or C) the histogram of the digitized, negative-to-positive converted scan?
I am talking about the histogram on the camera for exposure and the histogram for scanned film before PS.
