Capture NX

[alastair_anderson]

I took some shots with a Plaubel Veriwide while on holiday in Egypt (Luxor) last year and I was wondering if anyone

can tell me whether if I were able to scan the negs with a flatbed scanner (I don't have one, but there's one at my

local library.), Capture NX could then read them and convert them to positives.

 

I don't have a dark room at the moment. I've developed the film but would like the cheapest way to get prints.

It should accept JPEG or TIFF universal formats. Save tham as such and bring them home.

I am not aware of NX being able to convert negative images to positive images.

There is a firm called Brite Pix That can convert color negatives to digital files.

If the scanner can image film (transparencies), its software should be able to perform the negative-positive conversion before the file is output.

Thanks for your replies everyone. It's black and white film (HP5 and FP4).

The whole point is that I don't want to spend any money on this. At the moment I can't even afford photoshop.

 

I suspect that in the end I'll be attempting to make use of someone's dark room. There's a photography club around ehre somewhere :).

Scan the negs, that'll give you a negative image on disk. Download somw freeware like Irfanview (google it) and open

the file. Under 'image' hit 'negative', you'll get a positive. The negative of a 'negative' is the original positive. The

scanner software might even have the option for scanning a 'negative' and give you the positive right there and then.

Many do.

 

Either way, easy and free
