Transfer Old Negatives To A Pc

Due to the development of the digital camera, those cameras that require film have become largely obsolete. Many people still own numerous negatives of photographs captured using their old film cameras. If you have a bunch of old film negatives, you may use a film scanner to copy them to your computer.


Instructions


1. Buy a film scanner, insert its software disc into your computer's CD/DVD drive, and then follow the onscreen prompts to set up the scanner for use with your computer.


2. Insert a strip of negatives into the scanning tray and close it, then press the "Scan" button on the film scanner. A pop-up message should appear on your computer screen asking you what you'd like to do.


3. Select the "Scan to file" option (or similarly named option). The film scanner will begin scanning the negatives to your computer. Once the scanning process is complete, navigate to the folder to which the negatives were scanned. Instead of the original negatives, you will now see full color digital images.
