Negative
Negative inversion: copy negatives with your camera or import them from your photos (DNG and other RAW included), invert black & white and colour negatives into positives, and handle slide film too; with automatic frame detection, consistent colour across a whole roll, lightbox flat-field calibration, a live positive in the viewfinder, cropping and straightening, and dust and scratch removal.
