help with scanning 35mm negatives with Epson V750 Pro

Hey,

I shot a a roll of 35mm film and now want to scan it. The images scan, but sometimes the scanner has trouble determining where 1 frame ends and another one begins...sometimes chopping off or adding unwanted parts to a frame. The reason is that the parts of the images that are located next to the border of the frame on either side are black (or almost translucent film which is the same density(?) as the border and so this reference point becomes indistinguishable). I added a couple images that maybe clarify more what I want to explain.

Can I do something so that my scanner recognizes the end of a frame and the beginning of another one correctly?

I think your big issue is that your negatives are quite "thin" and the scanner having trouble picking them out.

Although it will slow things down a fair bit, you may need to the "normal" tab, which will show you a scan of the entire bed, and manually select each frame.

If you turn off/uncheck thumbnail mode, that will allow you to manually draw a marquee around the image correctly. You can manually draw multiple marquees to create a batch scan.
