| Hi All,
This morning hubby found a box of old photo negatives that had been taken in the early 1950's.....they were the large kind that they used to have; much too large to fit in the slide/negative adapter that I have on my scanner (HP 3970)..... So I laid 6 of them on the scanner bed & scanned as an "Image From Glass".......after the scanner did it's thing, I opened the scanned image in Psp & cropped & saved each one separately......then I opened them one at a time & then: - clicked Adjust; Negative Image - this reversed my negative image & made it a "photo"
The results were amazing!!!.....all these old images were brought back to life!!......I was really impressed, but now I bet I'm setting myself up for a major photo project......LOL.... So don't throw those old negatives out, you might be surprised what you can do with them..... FlutteringBy |

| FlutteringBy, Thank you for sharing with us. I am guessing you scanned the negative like you do a photo. Then you did your magic in PSP? I will have to try that. ~~Urlee~~ |

| Wow. I never would have thought to try something like that. Thanks! Judy |

| Yes, Urlee....I scanned the negatives just like a photo....I should have mentioned that they were black & white negatives, guess they hadn't invented color back then.....* G *.... I figured that if the Negative Image setting, under Adjust, would change a photo into a negative then maybe it would change a negative into a photo; & it did! Psp never ceases to amaze me!

| Thank you so much for sharing this, I also would have never tried it. I think I will keep this under my hat for now, as I agree with you, it could open up a whole new career in friend and family photo editing. Carol |

| WOW What a cool tip I never thought of trying the negative option in reverse. Thank you FlutteringBy Sue :) |
