Post sample of scanned negative work...pls

[poker]

Hi,

About three years ago I bought a HP scanner with the film/slide attachment to scan in negatives. I expected to scan in old negatives, adjust in photoshop, then print it out to my Epson. It never happened. The quality of the scanned negative was very poor. At this point, I believe negative scanning at the consumer level is a pipe dream.

If you know how to do negative/slide scanning from home using consumer level products please post a sample and share you technique if possible. I'd like to have a reason to try again but only with a foundation from your example.

Thanks
