Re: [Gimp-user] Rescuing old color negatives

["William" <William McCreight org>]

Thanks for your appended reply.

I tried the invert function and it is not doing what I want to do. 

I want to rescue old color negative 35mm film strips by inverting them to a color positive that I can print 
on a color laser printer.

The negatives have an orange cast which inverts to monochrome blue. I tried some other invert options and 
could not get a printable photo.

Can you please outline the steps in the procedure to do what I am attempting to achieve?

Is there a download PDF user handbook or tutorial?

Regards,

William McCreight

yes - colours->invert.

 

There is also Filters/Generic/GEGL Operation, and then in the pop-up

box choose Negative Darkroom (requires a fairly recent GIMP, e.g.

2.10.24).
