Affinity may also be able to act as a host. Don't know if that's still a solution, but his editing skills are quite good with that solution. I have a friend who uses Photoshop Elements as a plugin host. But here's the google strings that led me to several solutions. Most of the "answers" were as Adobe PS plugins. My reversal was predicated on my Adobe subscription. My negatives are in storage, my hardware is boxed up (bellows and macro lens), so it's coming together slowly. I've researched this in the past, but now I'm waiting to get all my stuff in the right location.
The other 2 or 3 software solutions that I know of all require either Photoshop or Lightroom. According to, darktable has a feature to " invert: A module inverting colors based on the color of film material" No idea how well it works. I have never used it, but I saw a reference to (lowercase "d") which is open source (free, I think). That is, as far as I know, there is no software that automatically converts negatives to positives with one click of a button and produces results that do not require further post-processing to get acceptable results. I can't say I like the subscription model, either, but for me, it is both convenient and affordable - and the Adobe photo software is capable of doing everthing I want to do (and much more).Īt present, I suspect there is no color inversion software that does not still require a fair amount of time and manual effort to get good results. If you are using a digital camera to copy your negatives, the best solutions *may* be plugins that only work with either Photoshop or Lightroom(?) And I am another person who thinks getting both Photoshop and Lightroom for $10(US) per month is worth the cost. For example, some scanners come with software, and there are third party software applications like VueScan and Silverfast that work only with scanners. You don't say what hardware you intend to use, and your choice of hardware may be significant when choosing software.
