My unusual film scanning workflow
Reviewing the software workflow I have been using for the past 2024 year to convert scanned negative to positive images.
It's been a while since I have done any kind of video but I thought my workflow for scanning negatives was interesting enough that it deserved some presentation. And even if not it was an interesting experience to make and leaves for me a formalized trace of what is usually pretty volatile.

Let me provide you a quick overview of the video and my workflow. You can split it in 3 sections:
the software-abstracted imaging pipeline called "Loog"
its software application in professional VFX software Nuke
workflow use-case and image-processing scripts
Loog is the most important concept and you can find it detailed at https://github.com/MrLixm/image-processing-lxm/tree/main/plugins/loog
