RE: [photoshop-beginners] Old Negatives

The scanner I used was an Epson V500 Photo.  I think I bought it as a refurbished unit from the Epson website.  Good luck.  Wish I could tell you how to use Photoshop to convert them from a negative to a positive, but Photoshop just boggles my mind.

Phillip,

 

I scanned about 2 thousands of my fathers old negatives.  I believe the scanner was an Epson.  I’ll get the model number for you.  It was recommended to me by Pixels in Sandy, Utah.  It wasn’t very expensive if I remember; only around $100.  I think I used ViewNX to convert them to a positive image, and then adjusted the color, etc. 

 

I’ll look for the scanner, and get more information for you.

Some scanners have lights on their lids so they can shine light through negatives.  Those usually also have the ability to convert the resulting image to a positive image.  If your scanner doesn't have a backlight, then I don't think you'll be able to do it.

Hi all,
I found some old negatives that I would like to develop.
I do have a scanner, and I was wonder if Photoshop or some
other program, has a way to develop a picture from a scan?
