Does this automatically reverse the images of negatives (color &amp; BW) on the screen so you can ignore those that you do not want to digitize?

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.

Hi Karen - Yes, you can! The scanner comes with a sleeve to protect old pictures. I slipped a negative into the sleeve with a piece of white card stock behind it. Once the image was scanned, I used my photo-editing software's "negative image" function to create the actual picture. I personally use Corel Paint Shop Pro, but most photo-editors have a "negative" or "Invert" function.

No, I'm afraid that you cannot reverse the image. I tried and it just did not work.

I don't think this scans negatives. There are other ones out there that can do that.

Sorry, I never scanned a B & W negative. All I scanned were "normal" 35 mm slides that scanned to color .jpgs. Assuming, the same happened, a B & W negative would probably scan to a B & W .jpg.

I have several scanners, but from what I remember about this particular one, I don't believe so. The one that I do have that says it does negatives makes the picture a very odd color. Sorry I can't be of more help.

It will display the photo however the original is stored (so if you viewed it on your computer as upside down and did not fix it before loading it, it would show upside down). However, there is an option on the remote that says "rotate," so if you run across a photo that is not oriented properly, you can use the remote to fix it.

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.

No, most negatives are in a five or six shot strip which won't fit down inside the viewer slot (unless you shove only one end of the strip in) and then they'd be inverse to view anyway. Slides or transparencies only I'm afraid. For negatives, try a light table or tray to sort and view or a scanner with negative capability.

Hi Jay, I have to say I'm puzzled as that is not what I experienced when I have scan negatives. You are not scanning slides are you? I have tried that. I'm sorry if I am not much of a help.

Most of what I have (90-95%) are Black & White negatives, and I see from a review at http://www.imaging-resource.com/SCAN/CS9000/9000F.HTMthat FARE is disabled for B&W; film (it thinks the whole emulsion is dust).Have you scanned many B&W; negatives?Also, have you scanned any contact prints/proof sheets (I imagine it does those just fine, but I just remembered those?If this does good with B&W; negatives - then that's' what I'm looking for - as I need a general purpose scanner too.

I'm not sure what you mean about "black and white" negative, but assuming this is a regular film or slide negative, then yes. You can adjust the settings to 'negative' or 'slide'; if you do you can view either the negative or the slide as a negative or a positive. If you mean the negative is of a black and white picture then I don't know. I've only used color photographs. Hope this helps.

Yes, you need to get in to the additional settings in the camera. Go to menu "D", on the third screen you'll see the second item that looks like a dot with waves coming from it, turn that off.

I had not worked with negative film until I read your question, so I got out a strip of 35mm color negatives and put it in the scanner. After selecting "negative film", I looked at the first negative on the strip, and discovered that the image looked exactly like previous slide images had looked! There is no additional external software with the scanner, but conversion from negative to positive is built into the internal conversion program. What you see in the scanner viewer looks like a small print. Transferred to the computer, you wouldn't know whether the image came from a slide or a negative. To me, this makes the conversion process even more simple. (Any manipulation you may want to do after getting the images onto your computer can of course be done with any of a number of different image processing programs.) Hope that helps!

I do not believe the scanner can process negatives. It does come with a special tray for slides.

You may have to buy or build an adapter but it can scan negatives. When you preview the scan, make sure the "thumbnail" box is not checked. This will scan the entire negative area and you can select the area to scan manually.

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.
