Does this scanner come with software to reverse the color of print film negatives?

Yes, in the setup you can select with a press of the button to reverse color negative film. Easily done and it works because I inadvertently reversed a transparency into a negative image!

The scanner does not come with any software. The scanner shows the negatives on the screen, and copies them, in the correct colors. Black and white negatives come out a little red, but the color negatives come out ok. Once you copy the scans to the computer, you can use any picture editing software to change the pictures as you desire. I am very happy with the job the scanner has done so far.

No software is included. I haven't tried converting negatives yet, so I am not sure how they work.

Yes, it is built into the firmware of the scanner. There is no separate software on a disk provided. During setup, you select the Film Type to be scanned - Negatives, Slides (Positives), or B & W. The firmware converts the Negative color images to Positives automatically. I personally have not scanned any Negatives, but I see that other reviewers have done so, with good results. This scanner is completely stand-alone. It does not need a computer to perform its scanning tasks. The stored JPG images can then be transferred to a computer for any further processing as desired.

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!

If your negative is color the scan will be in color. I believe you have the option to change it to greyscale or black and white but I have never used that option.

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.

I haven't tried to scan any negatives yet - still working on slides. I'm sure that it will scan any negative though since it scans what it sees whether it is color or black & white.

No. I tried some old film from the early 1960's (similar to 35mm) on the 120mm film frame and it didn't work. What I did do was just put it on the regular glass (with the protective cover in place) and scanned it as a color photo. Oddly enough, it worked! If you already have this scanner, you might consider trying that. Best of luck.

No, but there is a "reverse mirror" function on the top that will reverse the negative. This enables you to continue to slide the negatives through.

The product is not set up that way, the holder is designed for slides only, you could buy individual slide mounts and cut your negative to fit to try. Camera digital sensors do not record positive film in the way a scanner does (scanner software turns negative to positive}.

It scans in color, but I wouldn't use it to scan photos. When I first received it, I tried scanning a business card, and it came all washed out. It scanned the card and left the rest of the image black. It didn't auto correct. One would have photo shop to get exactly the image they desire.

I have never used it, but there is a menu choice in professional mode for either black and white or color negatives. I have used it to digitize slides as jpeg files and it worked fine.

Yes, it will. I have scanned many 35mm color and B&W; negatives. The negative strip fits perfectly into the holder. Be sure to handle the negatives correctly and perhaps even wipe them gently with a lens cloth to remove dust. Even better, buy a can of compressed-gas. Scan them at very high resolution and you'll be amazed at the clarity.

Does this scan medium format negatives and transparencies (slides) or is it a fixed width film holder that just does 35mm?
969321
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.

Michael, it includes (or did when I got mine) the negative holder for medium format negatives, and the software may auto recognize the frames. In general, you will end up having to use the full driver to acquire the image, but since you were acquiring from a better source to begin with, you would want to use the full driver anyway.Be sure to dust the negative and the scanner before starting, as the dust removal works to some extent, but you want clear images, so take the extra time to clean the hardware and image first.

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

No, you will have to develop your film first. If you try with undeveloped film, you will ruin the film by exposing it to light. This scanner works with negatives and/or slides (positives).

Yes it can. You have to select type of scan, e.g., tiff or JPEG. You'll probably want JPEG. You should set the resolution, which depends upon what you want to do with the scanned image. Low resolution is OK if you are going to distribute the scanned pictures in emails, but if you want to make prints ultimately, save at at least 300 dpi. You should tell the scanner where on your computer you want to save the files. I use "My Pictures," but the default, whatever it is, is OK, as long as you make a note of it, so that you can find the pictures after scanning them. You'll be asked about color settings or black and white. Choose the default settings for either, since things can become quite complex if you decide to tweak the settings. This is an excellent scanner, and it can do anything you ssk of it, including restoring damaged pictures, but that's for more advanced users.

Scanning negatives would be great, but to answer your question, I don't know.
