A customer came onto there the other day and asked this.
She wants to know, when she scans in negatives into a slide scanner, will they be displayed on the screen as the negative itself, or will it convert that into a colour image for her ...?

I think it depends on the software.
It'll send the computer whatever it sees, you scan a negative, you'll get a negative image.
The software usually has colour transformations for different types of negative.
What they said.
We have a slide scanner attachment for our flatbed here, and the short of it is that
you end up with normal looking pictures.
the software will adjust to picture colors depending on the setting you use.
photoshop will do it... or even Imaging and PhotoEdit....
All you need to do is change the colour polarization from negative to positive......
They get stolen by tracle paws while I'm away on holiday, apparently.Quote:
Slide scanners ... what do they actually do ?
Before it was stolen it was switchable between negative or inverse and bw/colour. Epson 1660 PhotoSmart, if you're looking for one in Smithfield markets...
Sadly not. You need to remove the film's colour first, *then* invert the colour.Quote:

well it works like a charm for me...
If you look at a film negative, they're usually an odd orange colour :)
yea that epson wizard does it.....
Most likely it's taking the film colour into account when converting the negative, since they're not "true" negatives.
I hate those wizard program that does everything for u. You cant experiment with anything really
