Scanning Negatives?

[jamusu]

For those who scan their negatives, how is it done? Do I need a special film scanner?

No, Just a generic scanner that has an insert for film. You usually use the "import" function in your image editor.

Decent software is helpful.

A real film scanner really is needed. Lots of generic flatbeds can scan film, but the quality is below that of film-only scanners.

Depends on film size. A 35mm negative needs a dedicated scanner. 4x5 slides scan well on flatbeds with transparency illuminators.
