PHOTAX : Snap Seed Tryouts DIY film scanning
Scanning negatives from 'first principles' ; PHOTAX test negative / the negative was illuminated by simply laying it flat on a light box, then photographed with a Canon G9 power shot digital camera (camera held rigid on a copy stand) The image was uploaded onto an iPad mini and then edited on the iPad using the Snap Seed application : I reversed the image from negative to positive (seen here) by using the 'curves' facility of the Snap Seed app. Considering the primitive nature of the scanning method it's a reasonable result and offers a way to get negative images onto internet media sites (such as Flickr).
