At some stage, I switched to color negative for family related pictures. The bulk of my “serious” photographs are in slide format, but a disproportionate number of the color negative photographs are of high emotional value. Before switching completely to digital cameras around 10 years ago, I had accumulated a slide collection of some 10-15000 slides, about 10000 photographs taken on color negative film, and a much smaller collection on different types of black and white films. I would describe myself as a knowledgeable amateur photographer but by no means a semi-professional or a highly prolific photographer. I have been photographing various things and events for around 40 years. This two-part article will put the average film photographer in a position to scan their film based collection of images to computer. The process of scanning analog (film) images to digital (computer) images can be complex and daunting, and the technical details involved can also be challenging and off-putting.

The aim of this article is to assist people with a large collection of negatives and slides to convert that to digital images. Facebook Tweet Vue-Scan Scren shot Abstract:
