Looking for forum for help with Epson scanner

Depending on the software i would try to treat each 110 strip as one picture and crop them afterwards. I've been down this route, and the only thing that really works for these old 110 sizes is a customozed film holder, It makes the whole thing feasible and straightforward, and you don't have to cut up the negs... Cost from around $20, some people make their own but I don't have the skill for that. Make sure you get the one for your scanner. This is one supplier. http://www.negative-solutions.com/index.html I got mine from these people: http://www.filmscanusa.net/ Be aware, the old 110 negs are pretty grainy in comparison with 35mm. They were never meant to last. |

Yes, it lets you scan the individual negatives or slides and thus get the best out of each one, Also holds slightly curling negatives flat for the scan. Much better results than with trying to scan a whole strip at once and then editing it. Definitely worth the investment in my experience, I was able to scan negatives that I thought were un-doable. One point though: a lot of the old 110 color negative films really lose color over time, so you'll probably need to do some correction with software. Apart from the convenient size, that 110 format was probably one of the worst ever in terms of preservation. |

Shouldn't make a difference except from the last point. Much better results than with trying to scan a whole strip at once and then editing it.

One point though: a lot of the old 110 color negative films really lose color over time, so you'll probably need to do some correction with software. I don't think that the film fades faster. Kodakcolor is Kodakcolor after all, but the the tiny format gives less redundancy. Apart from the convenient size, that 110 format was probably one of the worst ever in terms of preservation. The tiny format had all possibly drawbacks, but the Agfa Optima 5000 that I got my mother looked like a James Bond gadget in operation. Treee cool! -- teleportation kills |
