Would I be able to scan OLD negatives, from the 40's & 50's to an SD card & then be able to view them as pictures, not negatives?

I've scanned several different types of negatives. The scanner records them as finished photographs just as if they had been printed in a photo shop. I don't thing age will have anything to do with it. Of course the black and white negatives will still be black and white photos.

Mine will only scan negatives. There is one out there that also does slides but this one isn't it. Unless you want to take your slides out of their cardboard holders and scan them as negatives.

I have lots of 110 negatives and unfortunately I could not scan them. I tried sliding them in and holding in place, but it wouldn't work for me. But it works great on 35's.

You are supposed to be able to. I never used it to scan slides but did scan negatives and it worked great.

Yes, "guruofvinyl" is correct. There is a setting in the software to scan negatives. It's quite effective.

Hello jerseyboyI feel that you can convert negatives. Although this scanner did not come with a negatives converter like the Epson perfection 2480 -2580 if you can get your hands on one (black plastic with pre-cut holes and slightly raised to allow focusing) plus the instruction book that came with that scanner it will probably work since this V330 is easier to operate.. I think Epson did omitted that piece of plastic because most people did away with negatives with the instant cameras and smart phones. Hope information helps.

I want to scan old pictures to my computer. If logos and graphics don't come as expected I am skeptical about photos. Has anybody attempted pictures?

Not really. I tried scanning OLD poloroid photos that were glued to the back of cardboard, you may be too young to remember those, but it didn't like those too much and I used my big copier/scanner for those. Also, it likes some old newpaper and not other so I would be careful about what you put thru. It did an amazing job on my photos, tho, like we got printed in the old days from Walgreen's so you can compare your project to those items. My Mom uses it for her printed out geneology that is on regular 20# printer paper and it does great. Don't know if I answered your questions but I tried. Not really.

If you want to turn your negatives into digital files, look for a negative scanner. You'll find all range of prices. Instead, if you just want to make some pics digital, ask your photo lab to do it. They charge a fee and can put them on a CD or a flash drive.

I've only scanned slides but I would guess photos will do well also. File format is JPEG. The file size would be limited by the space available on the micro-SD card. I'll try some photos and respond again. I am very happy with the scanner for slides, however.

Yes, you can open a jpeg and digitize it. However, you can digitize ONLY THE SIMPLEST pictures, the ones with simple lines and few colors. Read my review.

The Epson Perfection V300 will scan negatives. I think it would work for your negatives. You would have to try it to be sure.

Not very well. Slides and film are mounted into templates and pushed through the machine, with only 1" wide area exposed for the light to pass through and provide the digital image. Printed pictures of various sizes can also be processed by placing them on a glass plate like a conventional scanner. However I don't think this would work using a negative.

Hello, yes you can scan medium format! Also, i would suggest downloading Vue Scan to scan your negatives rather than using Epson Scan (the program that comes with the scanner) because it makes a huge difference. The white balance is a little wonky, but that's easily fixed in photoshop. I feel like epson scan sort of made my medium format scans (and my scans in general) look pretty crappy, so i highly recommend using vue scan, especially if you are using medium format and want to retain as much of the quality as possible. Hope this was helpful!

Yes. When you load a color or B&W; negative into the scanner, you see the image as a positive. During the setup, you must indicate whether you are loading negatives or slides (which are positive images). There is a bit of a learning curve to using the scanner - but nothing too terribly confusing. The instructions that come with it will walk you through.

Kathy, you control how you put the negatives through the machine, so it doesn't reverse them unless you put them in a certain way. Also, you choose what you want to digitize. The black hard plastic slide frame you see in the picture is what you slide through the machine. Let's say you only want one photo from the group, you slide the frame into place, push the scan button and then the ok button to save to the sd card (must purchase separately). It really is easy to use and I like it better than the scanner I already had. There is more control, I can see the pictures on the screen right away to decide if I want that one or not. Very handy little machine. Kathy, you control how you put the negatives through the machine, so it doesn't reverse them unless you put them in a certain way.

Yes, but you will have to create your own negative holder, or find a way to keep the negatives flat on the platen. If you have an old scanner with a smaller piece of glass that would be optimal to use to keep the 110 negatives flat. The automatic scanning setups will also not identify 110 negatives, but using the scanner driver, and the advanced settings you are able to identify the images by drawing a box around each, then scanning them as a batch.
