Scan 35mm
film.
For the Nikon LS-5000 ED on macOS. Preview strips or rolls, detect each frame, then scan at full resolution with hardware-based infrared dust and scratch removal.
How it works
Four steps from film to finished files.
Preview the film
Load a cut strip or a continuous roll. A quick survey scan shows the available frames together.
Check the frames
Frame boundaries are detected automatically. Review them and choose what to scan.
Start the scan
The system handles transport, autofocus, exposure, and RGBI capture for each selected frame.
Adjust and export
Use modern, advanced colour processing to finish each frame, then export JPEG or TIFF files from the full-resolution raw scans.
Files and edits
The raw scan never changes.
The complete scanner capture. Always preserved.
Colour, crop, rotation, and other adjustments.
A finished image rendered from both files.
Change an adjustment or reset it completely, then export again. The raw scan remains untouched.
Infrared repair
Dust and scratches are detected by the scanner.
Each frame is captured as red, green, blue, and infrared data. The infrared channel identifies physical defects in the film, allowing them to be removed without treating image detail as dust.
