Flatbed Scanner Can I Use My Flatbed Scanner To Scan In 35mm Negatives?

Can I use my flatbed scanner to scan in 35mm negatives? - flatbed scanner

I have a platform HP 2410 scanner or printer and wondered whether it even mean you could use to scan negatives. I do not want to buy another scanner, so that if they could be used, or an adapter for a type could be linked, which would make life easier.
I guess another question would be faster if I buy a negative scanner, suggestions? Thanks

No. At least I do not see any mention of this in your newsletter http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press_ ... It is a trait which he was proud there. You need a light source in the scanner lid and door-negative. I had a couple of flatbed scanners, and should be capable of that was not very good. You want a dedicated film scanner. I received a Nikon Coolscan V ED with a film holder and the knife holder. This is an excellent unit, but no trade rules when it comes to speed. It costs $ 600 and the price is not touched in years 3-4.

Antoni - If you are the negatives with a flatbed scanner that has no source of light in the cover scan try everything that you get a nice abstract image of the film. If not, you will be an overview of the perforations get cold, but if it is a collection of slides, as follows: http://www.flickr.com/photos/samfeinstei looks like ... against: http://www.flickr.com/photos/samfeinstei ...

The problem with the scanning of transparent materials is that you need a light source of the material. A scanner normally scans the reflected light through the reading of the digitized material.

Film and slide adapters provide the source of light and turn off the light in the key. So reads the sensor, such as light through the slides or negatives.

My first reaction to your question is, forget it. But what may try to hold up a mirror to the negative, so that the scanner is its own light is reflected by the film. This may be of a scanner that works.

But he said that probably no results and were not, its resolution is great. To earn a picture of a small 35mm film is obtained, requires a high resolution.

What are your options?

I use to scan a Nikon Coolscan LS-5000 ED on film and slides. It produces 4000 dpi scans are incredible. However, the scanner is very expensive, this is perfect if you have thousands of pictures, as I scan, but when andThey have only a few that has a lot to pay for some scans.

Their use will be looking at Epson, on a flat bed notables who made all kinds of film formats, 35mm and not only costs about half. The V700 is for the consumer, which means it is cheaper and M V750 has developed the professional market. Surprisingly, for a flat-bed, tests show that this scanner is almost as good as my Nikon, but not quite.

A third possibility is for a consumer who has a property in slide and negative adapter via opt. Jump to a resolution as high as you can get. This is an opportune others and willing to be a little disappointed. Many of the problems is that you do not like to be able to fix in Photoshop, but overall the images conveniently with the Epson and Nikon scan.

His final choice (apart) by giving up is a service used. There are many online businesses and in most cities, such investigations for you. The cost for each slide or negative is notmuch and you can bulk purchases. I do not know what it costs, but I remember this calculation, when I bought my Nikon scanner. I had to scan up to 2500 slides in order to break even. Luckily for me it was no problem, I have over 25,000 of my days of cinema.

So what options do you have, I think.

Hope this helps a little.
