Well in my original post I said I have a flatbed with an adapter for negatives and transparencies already attached. So although I would love to go out and buy a film scanner, it won't fit in the budget right now....have to make due with what I have. I have previously attempted to scan color film negs and have had the worst results. Any film that has a deep orange color to it, scans with multi-colored streaks running through it. B&W film scans ok. I guess I'll try both prints and film and see what results I come upwith. Thanks to all of you for the info. I'm putting a film scanner on the list, but first I have to buy a new SLR camera so I can retire the old one I'm using now.

I am, therefore I create.......
