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

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. 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.

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.

no, it doesn't automatically do anything.I would say that if negative is reversed it have to be flipped over so the shiny side of negative or slide faces up. there is also a option in the menu to flip the image if needed.

This scanner will scan a color or black and white negative, and make you a digital .JPG (picture). You can then do whatever you want to with it. I have scanned negatives that I still have prints from, from the 1980's, and my prints from these scans are better than the originals from the 1980's. So yes it will scan them very well.

The image shown on the preview screen is positive for both b&w negs and colour negs...the colour negs show in true colour. The definition of the pics when scanned is very dependent on the quality of the image on the negative, it can fall short of perfect anyway but the only true way of getting the best out of a negative is in the dark room. Having said that the scanner does a good job overall for a relatively cheap price.

when you scroll though the main menu you will see a setting for color negatives, slides, and B/W negatives. as each one appears it should which one it is.

I have the 8600F and have scanned 14 rolls of 24 exposure film. All but one roll worked fine. One roll some pictures look over-exposed and about half of the jpg's look like negatives. I was able to use Adobe photo elements and do a negative on it and color balance to get it to look near normal. There are still a half dozen or more that the colors are all off if I try this. If anyone has figured out a cause and/or solution, please let me know as well! Thanks.

The system simply makes a digital copy of 35 mm film of what ever is put in the film holder. If it is a black and white negative or a color negative it will just copy them. However, there are some photo programs that can "invert" the colors (or black for white) to give you a positive out of your negative. One free one is Google's Picasa3 that can be downloaded to your computer. I have been quite happy with the results. However, colors could have faded or changed since the picture were taken, but you have some ability to tinker for improvement.

Sorry...don't know. I only use my digital frames in landscape position. The portrait orientation pics show up in the middle of the screen with some space on either side. I like it that way.

it didn't seen to be at first, but there is an ICON called "IJ SCAN Utility" this does everything for you. It will copy and scan negatives and slides etc, just by pushing that button. It puts up a white rectangle, with about five choices in it, and you simply click what you want it to do. There is a complete manual that installs on your PC too. But reading that is more difficult then using the icon. rr

It works as well as with color negatives. What is really important is the negative condition, if is too old or has scratches

It is supposed to but I never used it for that--I have an inexpensive Ion Omni scanner that does a great job on 35 mm slides and negatives both B/W and color. This will not do any kind of a job on large negatives--it works only for positive photos.

My experience with the Pandigital for color and black and white photographs is absolutely wonderful. I love this machine. For negatives I am using another machine a negative converter to digital. You can find them everywhere, in Bestu Buy, Amazon.com and inclusive in Walmart. They are very inexpensive and work wonders on negatives. Again, I love my Pandigital but I use it only for photographs. I hope I was able to help. excelent

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.

These features are controlled by the three colored wires that extend from the camera. The picture can be reversed or the range lines removed by connecting these three wires in different configurations. If I remember correctly, connecting red and black reversed the image. Connecting blue and black removed the range lines. Connecting all three reversed and removed the range lines. I plugged this camera into my TV to identify the desired result before installing.

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.

I have not done it yet, but the specification say that it will, and that's one of the reasons I bought it. It has settings for positives or negatives, and for color or black and white (and many other settings). So far I have scanned over 1500 color slides and I am amazed at the quality for this price. It comes with a slide holder and a negative holder.

Yes, BW is easy. The color negs will need some intervention with SilverFast software. Example, KodaColor, Afga color negs, etc.Hope that helps out.

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.
