How Negative Film Becomes a Positive Image
When a camera takes a picture using negative film, it is imaged onto the film as a reversed (negative) image of what you actually see. If you were using black and white film, whatever was white in the picture is black on the film, and whatever is black in the picture is white on the film. The same goes for color negative film. When the film is printed, it is reversed again and ends up a positive image with correctly rendered colors.
We scan the negative film, then we reverse the colors using our image editing workflow. We also scan glass plate negatives and positives.
Negative vs. Reversal (Slide) Films
Color-negative films produce color negatives, from which color prints are made. Color-reversal films produce transparent positive images that look like the original scenes you photographed. These are cut into individual frames, mounted, and used as slides for projection.
35mm & APS Policy
35mm color negative film: not offered.
APS negatives: not offered. An APS negative is approximately 0.66 × 1.2 inches (16.7mm × 30.2mm), a bit more than half the size of a 35mm frame.
