Workflow

Organize

Organize your photos by film format, stock, and camera. Ansel maintains a fast index of your images to quickly preview all your best work.

Process

Color correct your scanned negatives. Ansel automagically removes the color cast and corrects for different film stocks. Fine tune the color casts of your image to create a raw-like starting point for fine tuning edits. Easily apply conversion to the other images from that roll.

Edit

Ansel has all the image editing tools you'll need at the ready. Adjust exposure, brightness, contrast, clarity, and levels at different luminosities. Control the saturation, vibrance, and even color grade your image.

Enhance

If you're looking to print your photo or share it to your digital portfolio, a critical step is sharpeing. Ansel uses an intelligent algorithm to fine tine the sharpness of your image to bring out the natural film grain characteristics of your scan. You can also remove any dust and scratches that may have come about during the scanning process.
