How do I scan a slide or negative with an Epson scanner?

The Epson 2450 scanners can be adjusted to scan slides and negatives, though the resulting image will need to be cropped. To adjust the scanner for slides/negatives, open the lid and, using the grey plastic handle, slide the reflective plate up and out of the lid of the scanner (revealing a backlight). Make sure to place your slide under the backlit area of the scanner. Open Adobe Photoshop and start to scan as normal, but when it starts scanning in Full Auto Mode, click on the Cancel button and select Manual Mode. When the control panel appears, change the Document Source field as appropriate. If you're using individual slides/negatives, click on the Configure button and make sure that "Automatic Thumbnail Preview for Film" is not selected. Then you can preview and scan as normal.

Open AdobePhotoshop, click on the file menu and choose import > import from Nikon Scanner. The image will then show up on your screen. At this point you may edit or save your image. We recommend you save your image as a .jpg file because it takes less space and is readable by many programs.

Open AdobePhotoshop, and select File -> Import -> Import From Scanner. You should then be presented with easy-to-use dialogs which will allow you to import your image into Photoshop. From there, you can edit and save your image. We suggest saving your image as a .jpg, as it offers great compression, quality, and compatability.
