Not all flatbed scanners are capable of scanning slides and negatives
Those are not reflective scans their transilluminated. So the lid of
your flatbed scanner has to have a light source in it
Yes! — AND — for this purpose, it needs a full size light in the lid.Some flatbeds have (had?) a small light in the lid,
and could do only a very few slides/negs at a time.
It may be that only Epson is making the right stuff these days? My Canon 3350F can scan five strips of up to six frames
of unmounted film at once, or 12 mounted slides at once.
Using modest resolutions, the scanning is quite quick. Not presentation quality, but better than the old contact sheets
of tiny images for sorting.
Now if you do have a flat bed scanner capable I've doing this for you..
You could put your negatives on there and do a preview and you'd be
able to see the preview much better than with the naked eye
You do not need to do a full scan to do evaluations
The bonus for you is that if you like one of the previews you can
immediately flag it for scan while it's still sitting on on your flat
bed
Or, just scan lots of them blindly, then import them into a digital asset management app, such as LR, and run through
giving ratings.
One of the beauties of this sort of scanning is that it can run on its own
while one does other things.
