a_p20 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 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?

ben_hutcherson Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 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.

You can manually draw multiple marquees to create a batch scan. Doug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
