Negatives? How is this used for scanning negatives and slides?

It has a special slot that holds negative and slides in the lid and uses backlighting to scan the item. Once the item is scanned, it appears just like any other scanned picture on your computer.

I used it for many 35mm color slides and negatives, and got OK results. If you have a Windows machine you can use the software that accompanies the scanner to get better results. I chose this one because it is also a good flatbed scanner.

I also have thousands of slides that I want to digitize. The 8600 does scan slides, but only if you remove them from their mounts. My advice: Buy a dedicated slide scanner instead.

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

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

The SVP PS9890 converts Negative Film/ Slides / Photos or Namecards into digital format into its internal memory. However I inserted a 16 GB SD card into the rear slot for storing large amounts of scanned items. This unit is very good for the cost, has 4,000 DPI max scan and resolutions of 10M, 14M or 22MB. It has a mini usb to USB cord for connecting to a P.C. or a TV with the supplied cable. The user manual is very helpful. Scans photos 5x7 , 4x6 , or 3 1/2x5 . I've scanned many old negatives and slides with great success on this unit.

Sorry, Patricia, no it doesn't scan slides. I have also wished the same thing, although I only have a small amount of slides - it would still be nice

The issue is not the vintage of the slide but the slide's condition & format - I've scanned numerous older slides. The machine scans 35 mm (i.e. 24 X 36 mm) slides or negative strips. To save a lot of Photoshop or equivalent app time, should make sure that the slides are as clean as possible before the scan (i.e., compressed air can or squeeze-type air brush). Good luck!

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}.

I think the scanner does a great job with 35 mm slides or negatives. It has a slide holder for 4 slides at a time.

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.

no.... it isn't made for that. It only scans slides, negatives and film strip. But it works really well for that.

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

HI, it is possible to scan your old negatives. BUT, handle them with great care and align them without using the "slide holder". If they are wider than the holder unfortunately they will have to be cut down. Visit your local "STAPLES" etc and buy a piece of wafer thin clear Perspex, cut this to be the same size as the "slide holder", use 2 pieces and just trap the neg, use a bit of cellotape on the leading edge to hold the 2 bits together and this will act as a hinge to make it easier to load. Download "picassa" on your pc and you can then remove any dust or other marks from the negs. Have fun, anything is possible.

It works fine for mounted slides, I helped my dad copy several thousand of them. A couple of things to be aware of...different mounting frames will fit differently into the slot, you may need to adjust different frames to display the most image. Of course, you can only do one slide at a time, so the process can be tedious. Consider getting an SD card to load into the scanner so you can store the images on it, leaving you free to display the unit on a tv...this will give you a good image to work with as well as allowing words in the pictures to be more visible thereby insuring you get correct orientation. Finally, get a can of compressed air so you can periodically blow dust out of the scanner...old slides tend to be dirty. Good luck

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.

Sorry I can't answer that question as I never used it to scan slides. Everything else scans beautifully, though.
