When you select film as the document type, the resulting scan is a positive, so no other software is required.but I do use Photoshop later for cleanup and cropping before printing. Within the software, I use the 'Professional Mode'.
Just a matter if 2 or 3 can go on the platic guide.The white pad in the lid pulls out and exposes the lighting unit for negative/slides which the film in the plastic guide will be directly under. Did the math and that paid for a new scanner! It is not really a tray but the V550 comes with two plastic guide holders - one 35mm the other 120mm film/slides - that lays on the glass platten with the side tabs positioning it correctly. Initial quote from camera store at $0.25 each to print was reasonable until I brought them in and discovered was not chemical based processing but needed to be digitized at $5 each to inkjet process. My wife found some old 120 film negatives of her as a child she had never seen. A: Answer That is actually the reason I bought it, updating my old V100 which was 35mm only.
