Hi list, scanning newbie here :) I'll start by naming my scanner in case it's important: It's a CanoScan 8800F, which has a film guide for up to 12 35mm frames. I've begun a project of scanning a bunch of negatives (= in the order of thousands of photos ;)) and I'd like a way to easily scan the n

Hi, I am going to be scanning several hundred old 70mm film rolls (about 100 images per roll), and was wondering about which SANE compatible scanner would be good to use for this that is not too expensive and can do the recommended 2700dpi+ negative scanning? Is the HP Scanjet 3970 a good on

Right now the only viable solution for negatives with yellow filter layers is to scan a portion of the film strip *between* two photos, play with the colour filters of xsane or whatever scanner software you are using until you have obtained pure white, and use this filter setting for your photos.

The Canon D660U (which just got supported with sane-backends 1.0.14) has a built-in 35mm film adapter. Scanning from the flatbed produces beautiful images, but scanning negatives from the film adapter produces images with blue top-to-bottom streaks. Any clues why this might be so? -- Oscar A. Vald
