Hello Dale,
I was trying to think why your name sounded familiar. Of course, it's
those marvellous animations you've done, and the material you supplied
for "AnimatED", which impressed me enough to register it, well before
it went freeware :)

That's exactly what you'd think, but a friend of mine has the photo
adaptor version of GT-7000, which I installed and set up on his Amiga
system for him, and we have never managed to successfully scan colour
negs.
Many calls to the suppliers later, they eventually admitted the
software couldn't do it :/

I have done something similar, I only wish that Scala would work on
graphics cards.

The photo adaptor sits on top of the scanner, with the lid right off,
and plugs into the back of it. When you scan, it lights up and the
scanner carriage scans the image pretty much as you surmised.
Off the top of my head (I have the standard version of the GT-7000
myself) I can't remember if the light source on the scanner carriage
is turned off with teh photo adaptor plugged in or not, but if not,
then perhaps, if you could pick up a feed for the light source, you
could use it with your scanner.
