R C-R Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Why use an adjustment? What about Layer > Invert?

John Rostron Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) @John van Barneveld, how did you acquire your negative image? Colour negative film has an additional orange mask. Scanner software will take this into account, but if you scan a negative film as if it were a positive, and then use Layer > Invert, you get the inverted mask as a bluish colour cast. Edit: So when you are scanning your image, you need to tell your scanner software that it is a colour negative.
