I've been cleaning out my deceased mother's things and I found some old film negatives. How old? They were taken with a Kodak Brownie camera and the negatives are 2.5" x 3.75", one per picture. It is black & white film. Is there software that will capture these negatives so I can "print" the pictures digitally to share with my brothers? I already have a Canon CanoScan flat bed scanner and GIMP.
Thank you.
 
Yes. If I cheat I can get get about 2/3 of the negative scanned. Under Advanced I can adjust the fram size but only up to 35mm. The negatives I have fit the 35mm slide holder in width but the software won't go past the size of a 35mm slide.
