An extension to 'negfix8' to automate negative scanning even further. Including dust removal (64-bit RGBI images), color inversion, auto-crop, unsharp masking, etc...
#!/bin/sh
#convert raw-rgbi-i.tif -negate -lat 10x10+2% -negate alpha.png
echo "Extracting RGB channels to rgb_$1..."
tiffcrop -N 1 $1 rgb_$1 2>/dev/null
echo "Extracting RGB channels to i_$1..."
tiffcrop -N 3 $1 i_$1 2>/dev/null
