Reviewing the Cinestill CS-Lite+ SPECTRACOLOR
CINESTILL CS-LITE +
SpectraCOLOR™ is a new scanning light designed to improve colour separation when camera-scanning film. In this video, I break down how it works, how to use the calibration sheets, and what I found when comparing scans against the original CS‑LITE, especially when converting with Negative Lab Pro vs CS Negative+.
