What he was talking about is a special type of scanner or an
accessory that you have to get with your scanner.<br>
They are usually sold as transparency scanners if they can light the
whole scanning area, or they are sold as transparency or negative
scanners if they only back light a subset of the scanning area.<br>
<br>
When you scan something in transparency mode the scanner has to turn
off it's regular light that lights from under the document and turn
on a light, that shines through the
document/slide/transparenty...etc.etc..<br>
<br>
I've tended to spend the extra money to get the transparency
feature, and it's proved to be handy more than what I had originally
thought, especially now with all the photos going digital. I've
even used my scanner's slide feature to pull details out of some old
negatives that came from a mystery roll of film that had been
sitting around for years. Once the negatives were developed they
appeared to be completely blank, so I wasn't even charged anything
for them. But when I ran them though my scanner and did some gimp
magic I could see that there really was something there... turns out
it wasn't anything I was interesting in keeping, but at least I know
that for a fact now :)<br>

<div>Your scanner needs to have the ability to shine light
through the slide. Usually the top of the scanner (the
part that opens) has a screen you remove and there is a
light source that shines the light through the slide
(sitting on the glass) into the sensors. I don't think a
reflective scan will work. A reflective scan is how you
normally use a scanner - light is shined onto the image
and the scanner receives the reflection off the photo,
piece of paper, etc.<span class="HOEnZb"><font
