It works on my ANDROID phone, too. On my phone, I went to SETTINGS, then ACCESSIBILITY, then COLOR INVERSION, which you can turn On or Off. Instead of keeping Color Inversion On, I have the option to set a shortcut, a little symbol on my "screen" that lets me easily switch back and forth. I'd suggest, whatever phone you have, to start with Settings, then Accessibility, then look for Color Inversion, and then see what options are available.

Thanks! Very helpful! My wife and I are visiting her cousin, who has negatives from a century ago of their mothers as toddlers. I'm a hero today because of finding your video!

Amazing!! Thanks so much for sharing, Amy. I had no idea.

For Android users (and I'm running Android 12 on my Samsung) Go to settings --> Accessibility --> Visibility Enhancements ... the 5th option is color inversion. Turn that on. I tell you my wall paper looks pretty funky!

I'm also running Android 12, but I don't see "Visibility Enhancements" under Settings --> Accessibility. For me it's Settings --> Accessibility --> Text and display --> Color inversion.

This is fabulous information! I recently found an envelope of large negatives from 1940s that belonged to my grandfather. Your tutorial is most helpful and I can’t wait to discover what he captured on his camera. Thank you so much!

Thank you SO MUCH !!!!! Got an envelope of negatives from the 1940's. Can't want to SEE them!

Thank you so much for your help. We were given a box of negatives from the 1940’s when my mother and father in law in India. Your help has saved us time and money.

I just discovered your channel, and I wish I'd known this trick a year ago, but I'm so glad to know it now. Thank you!

Oh my, Amy! This is wonderful!! Thanks so much for this video. I had no idea my phone could do this. I have a lot of old negatives that I was thinking about paying quite a bit of money to have printed. Maybe I won't have to now!

You are so welcome! You'll get better quality by having the slide scanned/printed rather than just capturing it on your phone, but this is a great way to narrow down what you really want to do that with.

I knew there had to be a way to look at negatives with smartphones. Thank you!

I found that opening Pages to a blank document on my iPad works great as a backlight also and I don't have to hold up 2 things at once. Just lay the negative on the iPad and follow the rest of the directions.

That’s a great solution! Also works if you have a lightbox for crafting or sewing.

Works on my blackberry keyone

Is there anyway that after I took the photo of the negative flim with my phone and when I turn off my phone color inversion, the photo still show in color?

(I found my answer later in the chat!). This works great. But here’s a question. When you then take a picture of the negative in that mode, you can view it as a positive while still in that mode, but when you return to normal mode, the image is a negative again. Can you think of a way to take a picture of the negative so that when the phone is back to normal, that you have a positive image in your photos?

I think you can invert the colours with an program like Photoshop or something like that. There's probably an an app out there that can do the same.

How are u able to zoom in on the negative so u can make out whos in the picture.the closer you get to the neg. with your phone the more out of focus it gets? Thanks

@AmyJohnsonCrow

If you’re using an iPhone, it should autofocus. (You might need to pause for a second or two to let it do that.) You can also use the pinching motion to zoom in like you would if you were zooming in taking a photo.

I don't have a iPhone,I'm using a Samsung hot pepper smart phone,how could I do that using this type of phone? Thanks for your help. @@AmyJohnsonCrow

Nice idea but if you make a picture this way and you change the accessibility settings back then the picture is also back to being a negative. (yes, I tried) So, honestly, I don't see the point except for a quick check of some negatives.

@AmyJohnsonCrow

Жыл бұрын

That’s exactly what I use it for - a check to see what the negatives are. When you have hundreds to go through and you need to prioritize scanning them, this is a quick way to help sort them out. (I don’t rely on screenshots or photos taken this way unless absolutely necessary. Too prone to shaking and blurriness.)

Think about it differently. I have may 4000 negatives, and using this tool I can quickly see which ones I want to convert to positive. Then I can take a photo of them if front of a light box and using software to convert them, to positive digital files.

Any fix for Android? Thx!

Under Accessibility. Depends on Android version from there, but you'd be very close!

God bless you, Amy; you've just saved me hundreds of pounds.

So lame iPhone took this away… how are you gonna make a phone and TAKE AWAY old features that didn’t ruin the phone in the first place it’s stupid.

I was so excited to discover this and had just spent 2 hours processing the negatives. When I went to view them by connecting my iphone to my laptop, they are all negative. What am I doing wrong? something in the viewing settings?
