| 811496 | 2009-09-18 02:37:00 | Whats the best program for converting negatives? Free preferably - but a pay program if the free ones aren't any good. Does Photoshop CS do it? Or do you need something special? My father has loads of negatives and he has a machine to get them onto the PC OK but wants a program to make them back into prints. |

| 811498 | 2009-09-18 02:43:00 | Corel X2 aka Paintshop Pro will do it and has the advantage of being cheaper than Photoshop. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 811499 | 2009-09-18 02:51:00 | You can also open the negative in Paint and go Ctrl + I which will invert the colours. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 811500 | 2009-09-18 03:08:00 | Irfanview can also convert negative-positive. | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 811501 | 2009-09-18 03:33:00 | Paint.NET or GIMP can also do it. | Blam (54) | ||
| 811502 | 2009-09-18 06:02:00 | Photoshop CS will do it. He has that. No idea which version. Possibly an older one?? How do you do it with that? Complicated? |

If so, I would have thought that the software would be able to do the negative->positive conversion without any 3rd party software. The more I think about it, the more it seems odd that the conversion needs to be done manually. |

| 811505 | 2009-09-18 07:14:00 | Not sure but if you just invert the colors would that work? I would think one would of needed a scanner of some sort, flat bed, dedicated or those slide thru things which comes with its own special software. |
