I was trying to do it using negativelab pro lightroom plug-in but after trial period I got stuck bud did same by adjusting curves before watching this video in light room I got same result, but hey watching this video also totally worth it and now I know one more way to achieve same results with Photoshop as well.
Thanks a lot for this tutorial which enhanced my area of knowledge in image processing.

Hello brother,
I used to watch your videos quite since a long time. I hope! You are going great now on these pandamic. I'm getting some problems while colour grading my old flims. Can you please just help me out with it. If yes then I'll send you one of my old film. Can you please send me your mail id so that we will discuss about it further.

You are not 'developing' the negative, this is done using light tight dev film tank with three chemicals, developer, stop, and fixer then
wash with water. What you are doing is capturing the analog image from the neg or postive which is turned into a digital format, from there to be manipulate. I hope this clears this up for you.

Ah I have a question so I'm trying this hack to avoid sending my film to a lab to get developed because its too pricey. I was just wondering if I had taken my pictures on coloured film can I also develop them as I would with black and white film then use this hack to process the already developed film to colour?

Hello, when I come across any sort of problems in PS I see your particular tutorial and the Photshop related problem is solved. but the negative to positive didn't work. I tried in both the methods taking a picture with white background and second method I scanned the negative and tried. it didn't work.

I just tried and I balanced the white before I invert the colors. I sampled the boundary of the negative. Since it is completely unexposed, I figure it should be white before the inversion. I think with a good setup, this should be pretty consistent across all frames. I need to experiment some more

Why not use a scanner at home? They already have a white background and will preserve the geometry a little better (your photo of the flim was just slightly trapezoidal. Do you personally find you get a better result with a backlight instead of shining the strip light through like the scanner?

hey Unmesh, first of all thank you for your all great tutorials, i found a great additional trick for this tutorial, that is, when you made all the adjustments you made to the negative, merge all the layers and choose auto colour, it correct the image way too much better and helps a lot.

Unmesh, I have a lot of old negatives, if I have to process each one like this it's going to take me the rest of my life, haha. and I'll have a 2 m long beard! It seems there is no way to automate this. My grandchildren will have to finish the job.

The tutorial is very nice but i find the topic quite misleading for who anyone who wants to learn film photography.
the negatives are already developed, a more appropriate way to call this is scanning the negatives into digital file.

Scanning with a cellphone? man, i have to run out of here. everybody has a decent scanner. why wasting your time with the cellphone thing? of course I can paint a house with a toothbrush. but why if I have a big big roller?

Great timing to find this video -- I just found a box full of negatives from my mother's childhood and want to get them digitized and this just gave me the understanding to do it! Thank you!

That not exactly developing though. Developing is something that you need to do in a dark room with chemicals and stuff. This is more a method to scan the already developed negatives.

you can take away the negative base color cast by selecting the film border with the eye dropper tool, and filling a layer with that color and choosing blend mode subtract

Cool, thanks. but what a tutorial on how you would enhance the scanner output of a B&W negative? Removing dust and scratches, adjusting contrast, etc?

A good practical idea for people whose world evolves around smart phones. I have something better. It's called a film scanner. Good video though.

soo crazy had no idea this was possible. thank you so much for this!
would scanning be a viable option as opposed to taking a picture?

I still find it a mystery how a colored image can be created from a negative image, since the negative looks almost monochrome.

I like your video. I have an android phone. Don't know how to make the screen white. Do you have further instruction for me?

If you spend so much time on one negative, how long it will take to convert 36 negatives? There must be an easier way to do it.
