Hello everybody! I want to scan preview-Pictures from fotonegative with a HP4c flat bed scanner (to find out which picture looks best for develope). I tried to light up the neg.stripes with a fluorescent tube, mounted above the scanner but I got a lot of stripes (may be a 50Hz flickering?) all over the scan. Lighting up with a halogen bulb is better (there are no stipes in the image!) but I can not light up the image evenly. So, has anyone a solution for this problem? Oh - please don't tell me to buy a neg-Scanner, they are to expensive! And Iļæ½m a amateur handicraftsmen, so it is a challenge! For all the guys they want to convert Neg.-Pos. have a look for this, it works fine: http://www.interlog.com/~pinkster/photo/neg2pos/neg2pos1.html Thanks to kaz (kazoobie@smileyface.com) for this nice link!

Take a look at the adapter that HP sells: http://store.scanjet.com/scanjet/slide_ad.asp If you're handy, you should be able to figure out how it works. There's even a manual at: http://store.scanjet.com/scanjet_assets/hpslide.pdf The adapter is basically two mirrors at a right angle that direct the light from the scanner's own lamp up over the slide and then through it from above. I pasted 2 mirrors on the inside of a cut-up milk carton, and it works. You have to move it around a bit until you get an evenly lit field.
