Re: [LegacyUG] Importing Picture Negatives into Legacy 7
The Infanview program looks very good . I will also try out the Studio-Line program to see which of these programs works best with my printer/scanner (and provides the best picture). Thank you both for the prompt, very helpful suggestions.

Re: [LegacyUG] Importing Picture Negatives into Legacy 7
I assume this writer has a very old flat-bed scanner. Mine is fairly old (5 years) and works up to 3200 dpi and handles negatives as well. Color slides scanned at 1200 dpi are plenty big enough. Small negatives are the same size. I've rarely used anything except Adobe Elements in conjunction with this scanner and turning negatives, B&W or color, has worked fine. - JL JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www.jgen.ws/jlog.html John Carter wrote: Be aware that most flat-bed scanners have much less resolution than a dedicated negative scanner and your positive image will be relatively small. Flat-bed scanners typically have a resolution of 600, maybe 1200 dpi (*optical* resolution, not interpolated). Dedicated negative scanners start at 1800 dpi and go up to 3600 dpi or higher. If you have large negatives (2 1/4 inches square or the like) then a flat-bed scanner at 600 dpi or higher may produce a usable positive image. If the negatives are black and white, almost any of the free graphics programs (IrfanView, for example) can do the negative to positive conversion. If the negatives are color, then the graphics program must be able to subtract out the orange base color of the negative material to create a proper positive image (probably starts with the lower end versions of PhotoShop). This is from experience - I have an 1800 dpi scanner for slides and 35mm negatives and a 1200 dpi (optical resolution) flat-bed scanner for documents and larger negatives. John I have some really old negatives that I wish to convert to a picture positive image and import into Legacy 7. Do any of you folks know of a good graphics program I can use to convert picture negatives (using my scanner) to positive picture images? Pat ** $10 OFF when you spend $50 or more in our store.
