When you put in a negative (not a positve slide), does it show on the preview screen as a positive or a negative image?

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.

Yes, it is a small display but you can adjust color, lighten or darken but you do review both slides and negatives prior to scanning it.

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.

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

Yes, but like I said previously it does a much better job with negatives than slides. Slides come out so so and need some adjusting with Photoshop.

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.

Mine will only scan negatives. There is one out there that also does slides but this one isn't it. Unless you want to take your slides out of their cardboard holders and scan them as negatives.

Not sure what you mean by 'positive' but if you scan a black and white negative it will create a black and white image of what was on the negative that you can transfer to your computer and print like you would any other photo. Hope that helps!

It is best for viewing 35mm slides. I've never tried it to view negatives. This device illustrates the old adage "you get what you pay for".

There are copper dots on the back of the panel which are marked with a + for Positive and - for negative. The labels are hard to see in low light... you can solder your leads directly to the copper dots.

Yes, in the setup you can select with a press of the button to reverse color negative film. Easily done and it works because I inadvertently reversed a transparency into a negative image!

Mark, I used it for slides and it worked well, It comes with a slider that you put your negatives in, you should be fine.

I have only used this product with 35 mm slides. I doubt that it would work with negatives since the negatives are not mounted as slides are.

Normally when you send your film off to be developed, the processor will place the slides in cardboard mounts. In addition, they generally return the developed film negatives in film strips. You load the slides in the cardboard mounts in the slide trays to digitize, and if you wish to also digitize the negatives, you would use the tray that is designed to hold the negative film strips. When I purchased the Wolverine F2D14 14 MP 35mm unit, it came with 4 trays that would hold slides and one tray that I could use with the negative film strips.

If there is color to the line- I'd imagine it's positive. The line that showed up (within 5 min for me) had no color. It sort of looked like a shadow of a line.

I have been scanning strips of negatives. A negative strip has to be at least 3 frames long, but if you have only one negative there is a single frame holder that you can use. The scanner has setting for negatives or slides. The negatives I have done so far have turned out fine when downloaded to my computer. BE careful of your fingertips on the negatives, one scan had a nice thumb print on it. Hope this helps.

It will show up as a positive on the scanner screen before you scan it. You then scan, actually copy the image with this device, and then save it. After it is saved it can be transferred to the computer and printed.
