Yes, if you have the right scanner

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

Photo Suite can be used to scan ... as long as you have a scanner blink.gif

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

I scanned an ancient (50 year old) mono negative in my Epson DX5000 into Paintshop and it worked wink.gif.

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)

What scan dpi did you use? Slide/negative scanners usually have a top light to get a good output. Have you tried color? (Just for informational purposes; I have a scanner that does slides and negatives.)

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
