Jeffery A Howard yeah this truly is a great video, AND your accent sounds just like my dads side of the family in the south it’s great👍🏼

I just spent a whole frustrating evening trying to setup my camera on a tripod, putting film in a specially designed loader/holder (which sucked) and taking shots of my negatives. And here you are with a box and two cans of tuna. I love it! Thank you sir for pulling me out of a rabbit hole!

In the UK we had a children's programme screened in the 60s and 70s called Blue Peter, one of my favourite programmes when I was a kid. They would do things like this twice a week., showing us young children how to make toys and games out of cardboard and empty squeezy bottles that held cleaners and dishwashing liquids, toliet rolls, sellotape and anything else around the house. I loved it. You've just taken me back to my childhood and you've helped me solve my own negative scaneing problem. All power to you. Great tutorial. I especially like the tuna cans solution.

For home and family use, it sounds fantastic. Your explanation of how color works is great.

Those cans of tunas are legit game changers

One of the Best Practical KZread I have ever seen on any subject. Great way to prototype and use what is around you. You saved me money. I was going to get my film developed with print for $12 dollars and now I can just get the Negatives to $6.

You are the kind of man I want to be for my children. A practical genius.

I love all the household solutions for scanning negatives there are. The low-cost, store-bought slide scanners just don't do these old priceless photos justice. I used a tripod head, with a clamp (so I could turn it 90 degrees), attached it to an LP record stand, and set a daylight simulator (for enhancing mood during the winter months) underneath it. I just like seeing other people's solutions so I might improve my own. Well done!

What a fantastic video. Everything is so simple and basic, and even someone as lo-tech as myself found it so easy to use. I can't thank you enough, it has saved me a fortune!

I've been doing something like that but I've had the pixels from the ipad bleeding through. Thanks for the tips!!! I have larger negatives than any of the machines that I've found, but don't want to spend so much money on a new expensive scanner that will do them. This looks perfect!

Try the tip just above your comment, it may help with pixels bleeding through: put a white plastic garbage bag or few plastic bags (taught) on the ipad screen before the glass

Thank you so much! My film was so old that no store would scan it for me. I've now been able to salvage it myself into some (not too terrible) looking images from my vacation!

Hello from Ireland. Thank you Jeffery - great video. Simple engineering - I love it!! Super helpful. I hope you and yours are well. Stay safe.

Thx,Mr Jeffrey. I have tons of negatives,both colour ñ b/w. I will try this. I have seen other scanner procedures but this one is easy and triable. Lemme see,thx. Your pic looked really good ,I must say. Clear, with good tone and texture. Memories are so priceless and valuable. Moments don't come back but still through these pictures one can relive them. That's magic.thx.

Pure genius. Thank you Jeffery!

Good ol' Yankee ingenuity is alive and well. I love it. Thanks a million, Jeff.

My good man that was a terrific solution, not to mention free. It’s so quick compared to any other process that I’ve tried. Thanks so much for your efforts.

THIS is what I was looking for! Incredibly ingenious! Thanks for sharing this!

thank you so much for your tips, my dad was a keen photographer, he developed his own films and printed them, I have quite a few 59 plus year old negatives which i would love to share with the family and at last after seeing your video I might be able to do this. Thank you again

Very creative use of common parts.

I used a Samsung Galaxy S21 phone with my MacBook Pro and Photoshop with awesome results. Easy and fast! Had to improvise on the props for height and plane but the focus was right on! High enough resolution for the purpose (PowerPoint presentation through a projector). So Genius! Thank you, Mr. Howard!

Just saw this video. wonderful innovation. Can't wait to try this. Got 35 years of negatives. Will get back after I have tried scanning some negatives. Bangalore, INDIA

I thought this was a piss take at first. Its pure class. Some man

This is exactly what I needed to digitize the negatives my late father brought back from India during WWII that he took with, I think, a Brownie camera. You can imagine what this might mean to me. And I love DIY that's cheap and works and is faintly ridiculous but did I mention it works? I couldn't even find a commercial unit at any price that seemed to fit the job. Well done!
