hello dear affinity photo users,

i have now started analog photography and wanted to digitize my color negatives myself.
for this I placed the color negative on a white, illuminated background and photographed it with the camera.
now i have opened the file at affinity photo and unfortunately i don't quite understand how i have to proceed here.
in tutorials it is shown that you have to work with the white balance first, but i don't know how exactly i should do it in the program.
then i have to invert the colors and i do that with the graditation curve, in which i drag the point from top right to bottom left and do the same with the other side .. and now? I'm not getting any further here .. maybe you have some advice for me?
I would be very thankful!
And please excuse my English ;)

dearest greetings

Emily

Thanks @Callum for your quick reply!

unfortunately this article doesn't really help me .. the hole process is showed on the desktop version .. that makes it difficult for me to understand it and unfortunately I don't understand where I can find those steps on the ipad ..

I have already inverted the picture, but I don't understand the next steps
