A negative scanner is piece of computer hardware that can read a film negative and reproduce it on the computer as a developed image. The negative scanner helps preserve the time and energy needed to develop photos in a dark room, and it gives the cameraman more control of the way photos are processed than, say, the local supermarket.
After putting the negative into the slide and negative scanner, the photographer can utilize a program such as Photopaint to import the photographs. One can then use the software to crop the photo, adjust lighting and colour or add any amount of effects to the image. It can be done within seconds and it can always be undone, meaning less headaches over minor mistakes.
Photograph scanners and negative scanners are both useful tools for digitizing all of your old stills. Nonetheless the 2 are somewhat different from one another, both in price and in performance. A real negative scanner gives you much better performance and can frequently scan more kinds of film than photograph scanners
Years back, 35mm film cameras were the newest and greatest, and many folks backed up their favorite photographs on 35mm slides. This can have appeared like a good idea at the time, but viewing and storing these slides usually turned out to be more effort than anticipated.
The problem many individuals ended up with was having hundreds, and probably thousands, of slides and a broken slide projector. Even with a working projector, setting up a slide projector for a slide show can take a considerable time.
The sole film scanner I have used is the Plustek 7300, which I like - but if you need to get lots of negatives onto the PC it'll take an especially long time with this scanner (3-5 minutes per frame). I typically scan them in at 6000x9000 pixels - a single scan of one frame (you can do up to 16 scans per frame) takes about 4 minutes at that resolution.
