Film negatives come in a variety of different sizes.
For many photographers who grew up shooting film, the advent of digital imaging and photography presented them with an easy way to share pictures with friends and family. It also created a considerable amount of work, or expense, for those photographers who wanted to convert their film archives to digital files. Many dedicated film scanners are designed to scan different sized negatives. For photographers who have 127mm negatives, they need to confirm their film scanner will accept 127mm film, which has the same proportions as 120 roll film.
Instructions
1. Turn on your home computer and scanner.
2. Holding the negative in one hand by the edges, carefully clean the negative using a anti-static cloth. This cloth will remove any dust from the negative and will help prevent dust from collecting on the negative during the scan.
3. Open the scanner software and in the "Film Size" window. Select 120mm film.
4. Turn off "Thumbnail preview" if your scanner does not have a setting for 120mm film, as you will have to crop each scan one at a time.
5. Load the negative into the negative carrier and insert the carrier into the scanner. Press the start button.
6. Crop and scan each frame as it appears in the scanner software window on your computer.
7. Repeat this process until all your negatives are scanned into you computer.
