Previewing negatives
• To scan a color negative, you must activate Negative when you make the preview.
• The image will be shown negative in the Preview window, but positive in the f
eedback window.
• Remember to choose a N
egative Profile in the Scan Setup window before performing the final
scan. Choose a profile that corresponds to the kind of film the original was shot with.
• Flatbed scanners: When scanning 35-mm color negatives, cover the sprocket holes in the film
with red repro tape or any other opaque or dark-colored tape to avoid stray light that may
affect the quality of the scan.
