Why do my photos scanned with the ROLLEI DF-S 100 SEC scanner appear in negative?

Question

Accepted Answer

If your photos scanned with the ROLLEI DF-S 100 SEC scanner appear in negative, several causes may explain this phenomenon:

1. Check the type of document scanned

Make sure you are scanning positive photos (printed) and not negative films. The scanner may interpret a negative film as an image to be inverted, resulting in a negative output.

2. Scanning settings

Check the settings of the scanning software: there may be a specific option to scan negatives or slides. If this option is enabled while you are scanning a positive photo, the image will be inverted.
Disable any automatic inversion function or negative mode if it is enabled.

3. Viewing or processing software

Sometimes, the software used to open or process the scanned images applies a color inversion. Try opening the image with different software to see if the problem persists.

4. Calibration and updates

Ensure that the scanner is properly calibrated if this function is available.
Check that the scanner software and drivers are up to date, as bugs can sometimes cause display anomalies.

In summary, this problem often arises from incorrect scanning mode settings or confusion between positive and negative photos. By adjusting these settings, your images should display correctly.
