See if you can find Photoshop Elements - light version of Photoshop and usually cheap or free!. also check your settings when importing to ensure you're capturing the image at the highest quality level for archiving or print (whatever you're planning to use them for)!. I'd suggest scanning at 300 - 600 dpi if not more considering you're starting from a negative size!.

Photoshop also offers editing of color and tones - you can learn to use it by going online and searching for tutorials!. There are usually basic ones available on Adobe!.com!.

You can also try Picnik!.com which is a free online photo editing site!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There is a usually in the menu that is on the program that comes with the scanner has a tool that allows the user to identify the film being scanned!. There is also a tool called Invert that can change negatives into positives

There should be no need to further adjust the image files if scanned properlyWww@QuestionHome@Com

What you really need to do is learn it the same way everyone else does!.!.!. by taking a class or using the help features available with most programs!.

Even the internet has a wealth of information you can access rather than asking someone online to walk you through a step-by-step tutorial of something that they have painstakingly learned to do over years of practice!.

For me to show you my secrets is to give you access to my chair!.

Sorry!.!.!. I don't see myself doing that!.
