If this doesn't fix a whole roll instantly, it probably gives you a great starting point for them at least. Pick a sample image from a roll of film, make the necessary adjustments, then use Lightroom's Copy Settings or Sync features to blast those changes across all the other images in the same roll. As the scans pile up in the folders, you'll see them appear in Lightroom. In Lightroom, set that same folder as a "watched folder" for automatic importing. Use the scanner software to make negatives positive and have it dump all the scans into one folder that you will use for processing. ![]() If you're going to scan many rolls, Lightroom is better.

The preferred way depends on whether you are going to scan one or two, or hundreds and if you need to fix them up a little bit, or a lot. The point is that proper high resolution scanning is time-consuming, and you're better off doing it once and doing it right. ![]() In all three your original tiff scan remains untouched on your hard drive.

Whether you use Elements or LR to work on your scans, the original scans should remain unchanged on your hard drive (if you're scanning your portfolio, and not just the odd photo for the odd project), which is how LR works anyway. ![]() Scan as 16-bits rather than 8 if you want to maximize quality by having more information about the colors captured at the time of the scan. ![]() Scan as tiff because it is a higher quality archival format. ![]()
