Check with your local camera or art stores for this unique technology!.Www@QuestionHome@Com You could try scanning the negatives!. I have a flatbed that also scans negatives and turns them into poritive pictures!. It's relatively cheap HP scanner!. Nothing special, but it does have a negative carrier!. The only problem I really have with it is my laptop doesn't have enough memory to handle everything I try to scan!. You need at least 4megs!. If you scan, be sure you use the highest resolution your system can handle!. You wouldn't want to rescan them every time a newer and better scanner comes out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com If you can't find a professional lab in your area, you migh want to pick up a copy of Shutterbug Magazine and check their Photo Lab Showcase!.
