I agree with you about EstherP. A truly amazing person. I'm also one to throw around a lot of the "smart-@#$'" comments at times but I try to keep those confined to the "General Chit-Chat" area. It's just a personality defect of mine and I can't afford therapy. :roll: :lol: :thumbup:

I still haven't figured that out. I scan the negative, get a negative and reverse it with Elements 10. I don't guess it matters unless I'm losing some image quality. :roll:

What software came with your scanner?
With mine I got a program called Silverfast that I rarely, if ever use.
But also a program called Epson Scan. When I open that I can set the type of document:
Film: Positive (as in slides), Colour Negative, Black and White Negative.
If I pick one of the two negatives, the program automatically inverts it, and places the resulting image in the folder I told it to put.

I imagine the software for the various Epson models is not identical, as for my scanner I also have the choice of negatives with holder or without holder - but this is only needed because of the dual lens system mine has.

But I'd suggest you open Epson Scan and have a look at all the possibilities there.
Of course, importing into PSE directly also works great, and inverting the image is only a keystroke or two away...

In any case: Have fun scanning your negatives and posititives!

I have used Epson Scan which came with the scanner and to honest I haven't had time to learn the software. Every time I try to "play" with the scanner I have interruptions. I have managed to scan some B/W negs, Kodachromes, and some old magazines I found while going through my dad's attic. Here's a couple of scans.
