Would I be able to scan OLD negatives, from the 40's &amp; 50's to an SD card &amp; 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.

Patricia, thanks for the tutorial. I bookmarked it in case I need help when the scanner arrives. I have PSP also, so I expect things to go smoothly. I'm really looking forward to preserving and sharing my family's old photos, many 50 years and older!

I have the same situation -- large negatives from 1914-1920. Have not figured out yet how to scan them.

I've scanned 35mm slides and negatives that were more than 30 years old with out any problems. much better than scanning a old photo.

I don't have black & white negatives, but I did scan old colored negatives with no problem. I don't see why the scanner wouldn't work with black & whites also.

Good Morning Karen, I'm sure that you can. There is a place and little devise that you use to scan them and slides. I believe it will work just a GOOD as the photo scanner works. I love my scanner. I have scanned approx. 500 photos in 3 different sessions and I still need to do many many more. I have negatives that I will be scanning also. Good Luck and again I LOVE MY PERSONAL PHOTO AND NEGATIVE SCANNER. YOU WILL TOO... Sincerely, Mary J. Kinch mkinch@aol.com

A good work around is to carry an old digital camera with you. Put the sd card in the camera and review pics on the camera display. It beats lugging a laptop into the woods and much less expensive than a fancy reader.

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.

Absolutely, this is the reason I bought mine. I scanned over 100 old pictures and couldn't be more pleased.

Yes, you can scan using a regular SD card, and just insert the card into your computer. The scanned documents should be there.

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 did scan some very old negatives from the '30s, but it is not easy. Back then, negitives were in all kinds of shapes and sizes. The scanner does just fine, but the software is poor. I did this a few years ago, so as I remember, I used Gimp on a Linux machine. Otherwise, the Epson software expects the negative to fit into one of the included frames. Using this process, it took a few minutes of fiddle with the settings to scan just one negative.

Yes. It can scan slides (positives) and film negatives, but you need different holders for each. I recommend that you buy a couple of extra holders (slide or strip) if you have much to do.

Absolutely. My only problem with the scanner was that it said that it could scan negatives but failed to say only 35 mm negatives. It scans photos great and I'm happy with the results.

I'm looking for a way to scan the negatives too. FilmscanUSA has an adapter that supposedly works. I have tried to scan a 110 negative and it works but because the 35mm slot is too big it is hard to keep the negative in place.
