Don’t do it!!! First, does the film appear properly exposed over a lightbox? Is your meter accurate and are you using it accurately? Is it processed correctly? With any reversal stock always err towards underexposure. If you overexpose and blow out highlight detail it can’t be recaptured. The problems you had with your scans in Premiere could be caused by the scans themselves, or by the file format they were saved to. Always try to save to a 12-bit or 16-bit format with the most potential dynamic range. Also, when scanning, try to make the best use of all of those bits — don’t throw any away. Never scan to an 8-bit format. And use Resolve. You can often make a lousy scan look passable, or make a good scan look amazing.
