Many thanks for this video. It was a big help in discovering how to set up for scanning these negatives.
Hi there, Thanks very much for your kind comment. I'm glad that our video helped you.
Thanks for the good refresher course.
Hi Sam,
Thanks very much for your comment. I'm glad you found our video helpful.
Kind regards,
Mark @ PiciScan
I followed exactly your procedure but got no result at all bearing in mind I had never done it before. Hours later I found out you need to remove the white reflector clipped inside the lid of the scanner to get transmission through the negative rather than reflection when doing the document but your instructions were excellent.
Thanks for the video... I was wondering about that scanner... could it be used without the trays? I have soem really old 4inch by 6 inch (or so) negatives to scan... could I just lay them flat and scan them? looks like that scanner has a large reflective on the lid... thanks in advance for any input
Hi D,
Thanks for your comment and question. You can indeed use this scanner to scan things placed directly on the flatbed. The way it works, if scanning transparencies or negatives, is the top part shines a light through the media, projecting the image down to the scanning element underneath. Sometimes we have to scan what you're hoping to use this scanner for, and, instead of using a rack, we place items directly on the flatbed, holding them in place with a sheet of glass. Then, you'd follow my video, only changing the Document Type to, 'Film (with Film Area Guide).' The Film Area Guide is supplied with the scanner and shows you where to place things on the flatbed so that they will be scanned effectively.
With kind regards,
Mark
Why select 24-bit Color when scanning black and white negatives?
Hi there. Sorry, I've only just seen your comment. Choosing 24 bit colour, even when scanning B&W negatives gives a richer finish to the scans, I feel. We carry out colour correction on all scans anyway, so this usually sorts it out to give the best results, whether colour or B&W originals.
Oh lol ok, didn't see the gloves :)
How do you scan 8mm negatives?
Hi Peter,
Thanks very much for your question.
The way we scan 8mm negatives is to use the Film Area Guide and hold the 8mm negatives down with an appropriately sized pane of glass. If you don't happen to have an A4 piece of glass lying around the place - who does? - then you could use coins to hold the negatives in place, being careful not to obscure any of the areas you want to scan as you do this.
I hope this is helpful and you get on well with scanning your 8mm negatives. If you're struggling, you could always ask us to do it for you!
With kind regards,
Mark
Try some Prune juice!
Hi Terry.
Thanks for your comment. What would I need the Prune juice for? Surely not to clean the negatives?!
Thanks,
Mark
Well, I know the video is 3 years old but it looked like Mark was kind of constipated, that's all... cheers mate!
How rude!
That's me you're talking about!! But, whatever, your comments raised a smile.
Thanks again,
Mark
PS. I was pretty impressed by Gilberto Gavidia's CGI animation.
Oh my goodness. Touching the negs! Very unprofessional!
Really bad audio..you might consider wearing a lapel mic since this sounds like you're in a bathroom dude
Thanks for the helpful and slightly amusing comment. I didn't think it sounded that bad! But, if we make another video it'd be worth considering your advice.
it is pretty difficult to understand what you're saying, especially when you turn away from the camera xx
We were thinking of maybe adding subtitles to the videos. Do you think that would be worth doing?
that would be perfect :)
