    Converting old film slide negatives to positive ?


    I've about 60 old Kodachrome film slides from the Eighties which I've downloaded ok but can't remember how to turn the original negatives to positive which I'd already done before. I thought it was using Paint 3D but it isn't though from memory I think it might have already been installed on Win 10 ?

    Anyone know thanks....

    Assuiiing you've captured them (suitable scanner e.g.) Irfanview can invert the image, for example... probably most photo editors..

    Hi folks

    also works for old B&W film too -- also if any budding photographers ever played around with B&W Infra red film as well. Note if you actually do wet developing of this stuff (infra red) it must be done in total darkness - at least to get the film in developing tank as you can't use safelights if developing infra red. !!!!

    (Old School photography - not snapping around with mobile phone stuff -- I still like shooting some of that infra red when I can get the film !! and then digitize the negatives.
    Old T90 camera brilliant for this -- remember though to adjust focus slightly -- don't use Auto Focus on infra red if you use the more modern cameras as you'll be a little bit out ).

    Cheers

    Kodachrome was a slide or "positive" film. Do you mean Kodacolor, which was/is a negative film?

    And if you look through the slide or use a slide viewer, are the colours normal, or as you suggest in your first post, negative?

    All the slides were a dark red to begin with then changed after using Irfanview to normal....

    Lol....

    Yes I bought a Chinese film slide scanner from Amazon which unfortunately had the usual 5 or 6 pages of gibberish instructions, but with the help of a tech savvy neighbour who immediately binned it had it running in about 5 minutes.

    It works quite well and pleased with the results but found it difficult to get the contrasts right so it's a bit too harsh in places.

    Edit: The link is showing the wrong pic should be the £49 one here not the bottom link....
