Recently started to use PhotoShop Elements 2.0
I have a HP PhotoSmart S20 scanner.
I am a little confused as to the best method for scanning B&W 35mm negatives. If I open Photoshop and select import and select the appropriate scanner I notice 3 things that appear on the status bar on the bottom of Photoshop. It first will say "Import: Twain Acquire", Next it will say "Watermark", and then final I get a dialog box that says "This document is in an unsupported color mode and will be converted".
I have no idea what this means. Can someone explain this?
I also noticed that the scanned negative in Photoshop has 3 channels (RGB). If I scan the negative outside of Photoshop and save it as a TIFF file and then open it in Photoshop, the image will only have 1 channel (indexed color). What does this mean?
Can someone give me pointers on what would be the best method/process for scanning B&W 35mm negative with the HP PhotoSmart Scanner and Photoshop Elements. I’d like to eventually print out 4×6 or 8×10 prints (from a professional printer) that I can sell. So I’m looking for great resolution and sharpness.
Any quidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Thomas Kroljic
