Film Negatives Photo Scanner
In times of old, photos were captured on something called called “film negatives,” thin fragile strips that had to be “developed” by “other people” in “a lab that wasn’t anywhere near your house”.
Truly it was a different time.
These days, negatives mostly just take up attic space, since there hasn’t been a great way to easily develop them. FilmBox changes all that. The latest app from photo-digitizing company Photomyne, FilmBox is a remarkable mobile darkroom that scans your old negatives and instantly turns them into proper pictures.
All you need is a white backlight. If you don’t have one, go to photomyne.com/backlight to turn your iPhone, iPad, or Mac screen into one. Place the negative in front of this, then snap an image of it using FilmBox.
Really, it’s that easy.
