Scanning instamatic 126 with Cannon 9900F Flatbed
I just tried to scan instamatic 126, +/- 25mm*25mm film with my Cannon 9900F
Flatbed Scanner. The Canonscan software does not recognize this format and distributes the foto as the were regular 35mm foto's. I use the 35mm frame. With the result that the software seems not to be able to put one pictue in one frame. Most of the pictures are displayed in two halfs in one frame. How can I solve this problem?

Best regards, Wery These 126-size images were scanned by a (now out of production) HP PhotoSmart S20 35mm scanner. It seems the film fits. The HP software wanted to impose 35mm proportions and size, but offered a means of changing the frame to match the images. Maybe you know someone with a film scanner you can try? http://www.fototime.com/inv/4E7A42D4A5AC9C0 Curt Anderson photos from the 60s and 70s, Riverside International Raceway, California. -- Frank ess |

Best regards, Wery The problem is that 126 slides are 26mmx26mm, you should be able to manually select the frame. At least on my Epson V700 the slide hoder leaves a lot of open space. I have never activated an automatic selection and find it only takes a minute or so to select all 12 frames when scanning the 35mm holder. I find the more I automate scanning, the less precise it becomes. Tom |

With the result that the software seems not to be able to put one pictue in one frame. Most of the pictures are displayed in two halfs in one frame. How can I solve this problem? Best regards, Wery Don't know how much of a stickler for total image area you are, but I came up with a simple solution that works well enough for my purpose. I have a Canon 8400F, & I simply cut the 126 negs as singles & then put them into cardboard 35mm slide mounts. Then I scan them as though they were slides(going into the menu to select 'negative' instead of 'positive' image type). The auto-crop works lousy for this, so I just take the mouse & re-size the scan area to suit. You will lose the very tops & bottoms of the 126 neg area with them in the 35mm slide mounts(as well as have some open gaps at each side), but most 126 stuff is of a snapshot nature & would've had some image cropping anyway. So this technique works pretty well for me in archiving family photos. The only beef would be if you were scanning other people's 126 negs; but if they are returned in neatly done slide mounts they shouldn't complain. What else would they themselves do with them anyway? Hope this helps you. Dennis Forkel |
