Converting negative scans to positive images


Recommended Posts

  • Staff

Hi Roland,

 

Yes, this can be achieved - once you have your scan loaded:

 

1.) Press Cmd-I to invert it.

2.) Press Cmd-E to merge the inversion - you should now end up with just one inverted layer, but it will have a strange blue cast.

3.) Do Filters -> Colours -> Auto-Levels from the menu.

 

Often, stage 3 should be done manually - the Auto-Levels will sometimes get it wrong. In this case, use a Curves adjustment to make the corrections.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Andy.
