Programs to convert 35mm negatives into positives via a scanner?
If you are looking for a program that will convert 35mm negatives into photographs via digital images when scanning them into your computer then the following suggestions may help:
First of all you will need a scanner which has a backlight otherwise it will be very difficult to capture the negatives as an image. Standard Microsoft Photo Editor has the ability to change negatives into colour and with a little tweaking you should be able to produce digital images.
HP have some great advice which may help you along the way.
Secondly the two pieces of recommended software to use are: Vuescan and Silverfast. Each have their own advantages and disadvantages and you will probably find you will get on better with one than the other. Give them both a try and see which one suites you best.
If on the other hand you have a purpose built negative scanner it should come with it’s own software capable of converting the images into the correct format.

I have just bought a s/h zennox Film Scanner and find that although it is supposed to work with Vista the seller has added his comments manually. I cannot get it to function. I wonder if anyone has a printed manual especially for Vista or can you say where one is available.

Hi Martin
I do not know of a Vista manual for the Zennox nad have looked through various sources on the internet without any luck.
Do you get any particular error message?
