Have recently bought scanner to save & print old photos/slides. Also have
many b&w negatives, some I would like to print. Can this be done using
Microsoft Office Picture Manager or do I have to buy some other software?

If you scan a negative, you get a picture of a negative. Google for sofware
that you can use.

Photo and slide scanners will certainly scan a color negative and
convert it to a positive. I don't know about monochrome. However, even
the simpler editing programs like Photoshop Elements will convert a
color print to monochrome and then a negative or go the other route.
Filter> Adjustments > Invert. The free Irfanview will also Invert.

Some scanners come with a slide adapter and software that will let you do
that. If yours didn't, you can't.

Are you talking about E6 or C41. E6 being slides either color or B&W and C41 being a
negative

For unenlightened people like me, please translate notation like "E6".

Kodak calls the chemical process for developing Ektachrome slide film
E6.

C41 is what they call the process for developing color negative film.

And as long as we're showing off, there was E4 before E6 and E3 before
E4; C22 preceded C41.

What E6 has to do with b/w slides is beyond me.

And now that you know, here's the quiz:

Find even the merest bit of relevance to scanning slides and b/w or
color negatives in all of that. You have five minutes.

Start ..... now!

Whew! It wasn't just me.

If your scanner doesn't have a backlight in the lid, you can't. Period.

Steve

There was no showing off. It was a simple question since the OP was not clear in his
original post

>And as long as we're showing off, there was E4 before E6 and E3 before
>E4; C22 preceded C41.

E3&E4 goes back a long way and I doubt that anyone that did not store those slides
properly in humid and light resistant containers are now useless. C22 about the same
story


>What E6 has to do with b/w slides is beyond me.

We pushed processed BW slides with the same E6 chems as we did with color. We only
pushed the process 1-1 1/2 stops in the first immersion. It came out excellent

OP said:

>> Also have many b&w negatives, some I would like to print. Can this be done using
Microsoft Office Picture Manager or do I have to buy some other software?

What does the chemical process used (for slides or anything else) have to do with
scanning B/W negatives?
