From: peter on 4 Aug 2010 12:39 I'm scanning old negatives on my Epson Perfection 1200 photo. I'm having problems with black & white negatives where there is large amount of white (some old skiing photos) or black (some night shots). The scanner crops the majority of the photo. How can I adjust the settings so that it scans the whole photo? Peter

Select Home (or Professional) on the drop down menu and you can select the area scanned. I have found that this is the best setting for everything - it gives you more control.
