NEGAVIEW PRO
Realtime negative film viewer
As anyone who shoots film photography can tell you, it’s tricky to look at negatives with the naked eye. This is because colours are inverted: red is cyan, green is magenta, blue is yellow. That’s where Negaview Pro comes in handy.
Launch the app and point your phone’s camera at a black-and-white or colour negative and it automatically reverses the colours for the human eye. This makes it easy to revisit all those treasured memories caught on film.
When taking photos of a negative, it’s best to use a light box. If you don’t have a professional light box, just set the background colour on your iPad or Mac to white.
If the initial rendering didn’t come out right, make some adjustments by tweaking the colour curves for red, green and blue.
Negaview Pro also has a camera function that lets you snap your own negatives and capture the nostalgia of film.
