35mm negative scanning?

Hello.  I recently bought a Canon Printer/Scanner opportunity hoping to digitize my 35mm negatives and work with them in Lightroom.  I imported after scanning at 300 dpi (high resolution that I can scan with), but the files are too small in LR.  I am unable to get them to a regular size photo.

In addition, the scanned negatives are a bit dark.  Also, should I put a white screen on top of the negative during the scan?  I'll do some research in the meantime.  THX.

Yes, it's good enough for the digitization of printed things. But as you noted, scanning of negatives does not produce an image large enough to do much with. The DPI setting really has nothing to do with the quality as much as it affects the size of the final image. If you can find a way to scan your negatives 2400 dpi, you will find that your images will be quite large so that you can work with them. The image itself will not be 300 dpi. The image will simply be the pixel dimensions. And the definition of the DPI is what affects the size of the image will be in pixels.

After looking at the description for your printer/scanner, I don't think he has the ability to scan negatives. I now understand what you thought putting a sheet of paper on the negative. But that's not really going to help. If you want to scan negatives and slides, you need to do a scanner that is designed to do. This normally involves having things built into the lid of the scanner. I could be wrong, but I do not.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you want to scan negatives and possibly slide, it would be necessary for you to have a scanner that has the built-in capability. A typical scanner you have does not have this capability.

  • A 35mm negative scanning

    I have a scanner/printer C4200 All In One.  I can scan a negative in a 35mm image?  If so how is this possible?

    Thank you.

    Hi c808,.

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I see you're wondering if you can scan a 35mm negative in an image with your HP Photosmart c4200.

    There is a technical reason for this problem. The 35mm negatives require a light above the document to shine through the material.  All-in-One scanners use a light below to reflect the image.

    Hope that answers your question and have a nice day!

  • Blades & negative scan

    I have 10 windows and a good Canon Pixma MG8120 printer/scanner/copier that I used with PSE

    to scan some old slides of 35mm of my family and 135, 126 & 110 negative film strips.

    But now I am at a loss: PSE 13 & 14 does not support the TWAIN interface, how do I

    Scan the rest of my negatives and slides in PSE 14?

    Is there an alternative to the dumb WIA interface? I can't believe there isn't.

    Or... could I use 12 PES and TWAIN drivers to scan negatives in then

    Change them in PSE 14?

    Surely, someone knows a way?

    Thank you

    If you still have available PSEv.12 and he has worked with your equipment, continue to scan slides and movies as in the past. Save the scans in a folder. Then, open them in the PSEv.14 Editor to edit and save to a separate destination folder.

    If you are using the Organizer, you can put them the destination folder.

  • Restore: Remove large footprint of old negative scan n & B

    I don't have the original negative, and they are very fragile so clean the real negative was not an option. (And in most cases, the fingerprint is decades old and impossible to clean in any case)

    Is there a tactic outside the incredibly tedious stamp paint clone (who wouldn't look that anyway) to remove the effect of interleaving made this huge print on the back of this man? Spot healing/content aware works well on these because it is a repetitive pattern, so tent paint it usually end upward with the redesigned model. I would appreciate advice.

    capture006.jpg

    I think that there is no simple way to get around this, but given that the fingerprint has clouded the picture, I would try using concealer spot value content aware and lighten the mode.

  • All-in-one Officejet Pro 8620: officejet pro 8620 all-in-One scan negative

    How to scan negatives and 35mm on a HP Officejet Pro 8620?  I recently read it is possible on older versions, but can not find all the information about the printer I have.  Please answer quickly because it's something I have to do for my business.

    Hello

    Negative scanning requires a special film holder (as in This example), indeed such was offered by older models and not in the past years.

    The 8620 do not offer this kind of functionality, as well as any current inkjet all-in-one device and you can't scan negatives with your printer.

    Only proffesional scanners offer a these these days, not all in one of the devices.

    Here's the only model I have managed to find to your purchase today, there could be some more and it's worth trying a such google searh:

    I have a 4850 HPScanjet I haven't used since the purchase of a new computer.  It works very well for the documents and pictures, but I can't get all the options until negative scan.  Don't know what are the options I used to get!  It's been awhile...

    Hi maas.

    I'm looking on the site of HP support for your Scanjet.

    Is your new Windows or Mac computer?  What version?

    There are drivers for Windows 7 and 8, but they are basic drivers who cannot support the card used for the scanning of negatives.

    There is a document to use the Vista driver full features in Windows 7 that would work.

    I have the HP ENVY Series 4500 (network) printer/scanner/fax machine and would like to know if it is possible to scan 35 mm negatives and save them as a digital file on my PC?

    Hi @jvtorto,

    Only scanners with a media support Transparent able to digitize 35 mm slides.  The Envy 4500 series does not include such a feature and therefore does not support the slide or negative scanning.

    You can consider a scanjet.

    You can use the link above if you get a Scanjet which scan negatives.

  • Photoshop scanned the negatives n & B - too much light

    Negatives scanned old photos - they are pretty much correct in XnView but too lightly in Photoshop.

    The color space is set to sRGB, my monitor, XnViewMP and Photoshop. (Versatile Europe 3)

    I tried a few things and noticed that when you change the settings of Photoshop Europe Web/Internet 2 color

    It approximates what XnViewMP shows, "right",

    What then setting the right color then for ICC non-integrated photos (or in this cases negative)?

    Thank you

    (Photoshop CS6)

    Unfortunately I could not upload a picture (with comparison, notes, etc.) It took me a while to put it all together

    but then to find out that it would be too big and then be reduced to a size where added remarks cannot be read.

    I couldn't add a url to imgur either, so that it would show up as a thumbnail, and if clicked

    the original size would then appear to the imgur website.

    =

    General European goal 3 uses Dot Gain 10%, which is for offset printing. Use the Web/Internet implementation, which uses Gamma 2.2, which is suitable for inkjet printing and screen display. If you use the settings below, Photoshop will ask you what do when you open an image tag, and you then choose "assign gray work."

    If you can do the scanning software incorporate the profile of Gamma 2.2, you won't get this dialog box.

    And the histogram shows that you cut the dark tones and clear, they are banged against the sides. This means that you lose details in dark and light image areas.

    Try to adjust the image in the scanning software so that you get a histogram that looks more like this - with a space at both ends:

    I always scan with very low contrast - it's easy to increase the contrast, to need later in Photoshop.

    And I recommend that you are investigating as 16-bit tiff instead of jpg - that is not intended for the edition - the file will deteriorate every time that you save it.

    Can I scan and print from a negative on the Photosmart 7510 C11a 120? If so where can I find instructions?

    Hi kutekayand welcome to the Forums of HP.

    I see that you are searching in 120 negative scanning.  To do this, need you a backlight to scan, or a negative scanner, for example a Scanjet.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions.  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.

  • Photosmart 3210 all in one: Scan and reinstall the program failures

    Printer isn't online and firewall is on and no network.  Printer and scanner going good since 2006 until I tried to scan a negative, I think for the first time in its history.  Scan bar will quickly about 2 inches and lamp turns off and printer says to stop, but this isn't.   Had to unplug, but printer would reset with all functions (except movie option).  Uninstalled and reinstall failed with the error situation code 03215762.  Print function works with other programs and copy function works, just can't sweep, and there is no solution Center, could not reinstall.  Resettlement goes to 2% with the status - stop services - bogs and Print Spooler Service and will remain bogged down for hours until the end with the Task Manager.

    During the forced relocation ends and said deleting files, another error situation code 06458626 comes up with a few lines comes from installation error logs.  Help would be wonderful.

    Due to personal obligations, could not work on reinstalling printer until this week.  Put a link to MS and I've tried suggestions there - .NET updates, enter the registry and delete some files and a work-around suggested without success.  Next I googled "Can not stop spooler on MS XP SP3" and as choice went to forums.techguy.org/windows-xp/897775-can't-stop-spooler.html, Harry 32, January 28, 2010.  This guy had a sounding similar problem and his solution worked.  MS Fax in windows, computer components unchecked rebooted, went to spooler MS services, stop selected, and he stopped.  YES!  Then I ran the new drivers you sent and installed the program without glitches.  YES, once again! (actually when install stopped and said spooler was arrested and I wanted it to be fixed and started then the installation can continue; naturally, I selected Yes.)  I scanned a photo, printed and made a copy successfully.  However, I tried again to scan a negative from the solution Center and the button on the Panel of the printer without success.    I'll close this as 'select solution' and start a new discussion of assistance on the issue of negative scan.  Very gratedful for all your help.  I'd never know what Google if you had not discovered in troubleshooting spooler problem.
