Just a couple of weeks ago, I scanned a couple of my
grandfather's glass negatives from around 1903-1904.
My scanner has an attachment for scanning negatives,
but it is specifically for 35 mm, so a 4x5 glass
negative was too big. I placed a sheet of plain white
paper on top of the negative and shined a bright light
at the paper and then did the scan, informing the
scanner it was a negative. At little bit of cropping
and it worked like a champ.
