I have a fairly old drivers only available up to Windows XP) flatbed scanner that also has a lightbox which enables me to scan 35mm slides or negatives. To get any decent quality for the finished article I have to scan each slide one at a time (I've never tried negatives) even though it loads three into the lightbox. I did try scanning all three at once, then editing each individual slide, but the resolution was only good enough to use the pictures about twice normal size! This was also no helped by the original film being quite grainy anyway as it was a high ASA rating so I could get enough light in at a fast shutter speed on a typical gloomy British race meeting day!
