I guess this means a no for Photo Suite, and a yes for the right scanner/all in one printers and their software.

If you only have a few negatives, why not download the free 30 day trial version of Paintshop Pro which is able to do that?

Not that many scanners are actually capable of scanning negatives or transparencies. A good primer is Wayne Fulton's scanning tips – Here
-------------------- Dell Dimension 8300 Win7 Home Premium
Pentium 4, 3.0Ghz w/1.5gb RAM Radeon HD2400 Pro AGP ------------------- Dell Inspiron 530 Win7 Home Premium or XP Pro (separate HDD’s) Dual CPU 2.20 GHz 2GB RAM GeForce 7300LE |

I scanned an ancient (50 year old) mono negative in my Epson DX5000 into Paintshop and it worked
So long as the negative has a white background behind it, there's usually no problam (if the scanner lid is black, put a blank piece of paper over the nagative) -------------------- If it ain't broke, fiddle with it until it breaks, then fiddle with it until you get it fixed

Slide/negative scanners usually have a top light to get a good output. Have you tried color?

Can't recollect now - I may have increased the dpi from standard (and never tried it with a colour negative - but if I find one I will)
The point is it did work for me in a standard scanner with a white lid. Paintshop will auto-compensate for brightness, contrast and chroma levels -------------------- If it ain't broke, fiddle with it until it breaks, then fiddle with it until you get it fixed
