Well I never! I am clever-ish!

I had a bit of a brainwave today!
I found a very old negative of my Mum, my older sister and me as a little girl with Santa.
I held it against my laptop screen, snapped it with my phone camera, used my phone photo editor and turned it into a photo!
Not brilliant, but at least now I can see if old negatives are worth getting printed!



Don't laugh at my cuteness!

Hey cutie chops, well done you! I would have never thought of doing that. I'm really surprised it worked too.

Now, can you remember what you asked for?

Nope, but, I think it influenced my love of bearded gentlemen! You can sit on their laps and they give you pressies!

You look lovely Tess and the beard suits you.

Great idea btw. My old (now defunct) printer had a negative scanner function but it was never as good as that.

Poink!

My scanner doesn't stay lit when the lid's up so I had the bright idea of using the screen!


Trouble is I've got a huge box of negatives...

Actually, I've loads of negatives in the photo boxes. I was going to bin them but I might just do your trick first and see what they are.

A very good idea TessA and it did the job.

Have you got a scanner? If so, the negative could be scanned at the highest resolution the scanner does. Then expand the photo and turn it into a positive in the editing program. It might give acceptable definition (depending on how big you make it).

I'll try a colour one next and see what happens
Don't forget to use a "negative" edit thingy on your phone or photo editing doin's or what's it!

My scanner is just a photocopier, so I'm not sure it will do that Mart.
