About

A digital darkroom for film photographers. Load a scan of a colour or black-and-white negative and Negative Darkroom inverts it, removes the orange mask, and gives you darkroom-style controls (exposure, contrast, colour balance, and channel curves) so you can develop a positive exactly the way you want it.

How to use it

  1. Click Launch to open the tool, or Download it to keep an offline copy.
  2. Load a photo of your negative (a scan or a phone snap of the film strip).
  3. The image is inverted automatically, then adjust exposure, contrast and colour to taste.
  4. Export the finished positive when you're happy with it.
