P3D Re: Slide Scanners

["Alyssa Malen" <AMALEN@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My significant other and I bought the HP Photosmart printer and scanner a
couple a weeks ago and have been pleased so far.  I wanted to buy the Nikon
Coolscan but decided that until I knew what I was doing, it wasn't
worthwhile paying that much money.  The only thing I find annoying is that
when you scan film strips, it assumes that the input was a negative and
automatically reverses the colors.  I was hoping to scan my uncut Realist
slides to produce stereo prints.  I couldn't find anything in the software
that comes with the scanner, Microsoft Picture It, that would reverse the
image back.  I have since bought another software package that can handle
the reversals so that problem is now solved.  This software Winimages by
Black Belt Systems was recommended to us as a less expensive alternative to
Photoshop.
