Make sure borders are still in tact and durable for feeding

Wipe slide to remove any lint or debris but use great care – be careful not to scratch the slide - any scratches will show up on the scanned photo

Decided on an Outdoor Theme for the Negatives

Negatives used were from 1999, 2001, and 2002

All Negative Photos Scanned are Mine Some were in good shape; others that

were loose were scratched and bent Learned that some of the lines and spots

that showed up on the scanned photos were actually from a dirty processing machine when the film was processed

Carefully wipe negative – do not use scratchy wipes or hands – this could cause scratches to show up on the scanned video

Make sure slide is long enough to fit in negative tray so it does not move or get stuck in the scanner

Cloning tool Remove/fix dark spots with Healing or
