Is there some accessory or something that can enable you to do this? I have a canon lide20 0 and by default it does not scan negatives. I was wondering if there was something you could put the negs in then scan them or something . . .

Just curious.

Yeah, get a light table. Then cut the power to the cold cathode on the scanner head. Then develop a custom gamma/color curve for the media.

So no, not really...
