Do you still have old 35mm negatives from your old photos ? Why don’t you turn a negative into a positive ?

Now you can transfer your negatives into digital photos directly using USB Negative Scanner. This is a good news for you since you don’t have to develop the negatives, scan the photos and finally get them in digital format. At the touch of a button this gizmo scans 35mm negatives or slides and converts the trapped images into digital pics. In digital format, you can then do what ever you want such as edit, crop and resize them using the included software ready for printing, archiving or just viewing on the big screen.

How does this hi-tech gadget work ?

Simply plug it in your USB port, slip a negative or slide into the respective holder and push it through. The image then appears on screen. All you do is wait a few seconds for the intuitive software to adjust the back light and color balance and hit scan. Magically, you will have a genuine 5 mega pixel picture on your PC. Just that’s simple.

Product Features:

• 5 mega pixel high resolution full colour scanning
• One touch instant scan (1-2) seconds
• USB 2.0 Hi Speed only (not USB 1.1 compatible)
• Powered directly from USB 2.0 port; no need for external power supply
• Small and compact
• High quality 4 glass optic element
• Fixed focus range & automatic exposure/ colour balance
• Built in Colourbright technology for more accurate colour conversion
• Arcsoft PhotoImpression editing software included
• 1 Year manufactures limited warranty

Dimensions:

• Product – approximately 16.5cm (H) x 10cm (L) x 9cm (D)
• Packaging – approximately 28cm (H) x 13cm (L) x 13cm (D)
• Package weight – approximately 936g

Get it from FireBox.
