I Love this App!

By AllMovie (Pcmac user)

My husband has been in the photography business for 45+ years. The 1 thing that we had was our wedding on 2 1/4 inch square negatives (old school). I waited over a year for this App to be finished. I wanted my wedding on computer. I am thrilled to have it. We have hundreds of old square negatives of when my husband was young. Having these negatives printed would cost a lot. This App allows us to put these pics on our computer. I wouldn’t take anything for it.
Does what is says; nothing more

By Dog Sof (Pcmac user)

First, you NEED a backlight for this to work. Then, it only takes grainy “photos” of your negatives. But, this is still very useful if you’re trying to figure out which of your 1000+ negatives to print. It’s handy for quickly viewing negatives as positives. If your want hi-res “scans” to print, use a flatbed scanner or a dedicated film scanner. But that takes a lot of time. I wish this had a tutorial. Not sure what the difference between 1/50 and 1/60 is. Shutter speed? Who knows? This app really needs a tutorial instructing how to adjust the backlight and the ambient light. It’s a mystery. Worth the $6? Depends on your purpose.
Great app

By Rusty Shutter Cable (Pcmac user)

I hesitated at first with some of the negative responses. I got it and immediately loved it. I am an amateur photographer from the 60’s with hundreds of pounds of negatives that mostly were only contact printed for review, with many more that I never found the time to print. Now I can without setting up a lab. I use my iPad as a light box, with a common sheet protector over it to diffuse the pixels; you know what a sheet protector is; a common article in any office, fits in a 3 ring binder, protects paper from finger dirt. Works perfect. Don’t expect lab quality, but you will be happy when you resurrect a forgotten negative into an enjoyable picture. I’m getting my old enlarger from the attic to project negative images to a screen, to see just how far this app will go.
Wishing for more

I don’t know why, but I assumed this app had a light table functionally when used with an iPad. I was disappointed when I needed to find another method to turn an iPad into a light table. At first, it’s magical. Seeing your negatives become positives by hovering your phone over them is pretty exciting, but it soon gets frustrating. First, I really wish you could take multiple pictures of the negatives and the edit them later. This is my biggest complaint. Holding a negative flat on a light table with one hand and then positioning the phone AND tapping the shutter button with the other is tedious and cumbersome. Having to crop, edit, and save the image before moving to the next image slows down the process. Second, the actual capturing of the image seems hit or miss. Sometimes the image seems over exposed or underexposed depending how you hold the phone. I also it sometimes have difficulty being able to capture an image and I’m stuck at the “hold still capturing image” progress bar. I wish this worked more like some document scanner apps that took several images at a time to provide a more accurate representation. Hopefully this app gets better as I really want to like and use it more.
