Greetings again,

>>I've been told that NO scanner can successfully scan color negatives. Does
>>anyone have any experience refuting this claim?

Several people have posted that some scanners can, indeed, scan color negatives. Our AGFA with its transparancy adaptor, and our new HP Scanjet 4C are SUPPOSED to be able to do this, but in fact they do not. The AGFA images come out bluish, and it apparently has something to do with the orangish color of the emulsion on color negs.

What I am really trying to find out if anyone has SEEN images scanned from color negs, and if so, what kind of scanner was used.

Thanks. Victoria Yturralde Photographic Archivist Calif. Dept. of Parks & Recreation
