I was recently trying to figure out the easiest and least expensive way to post old, family photos. The problem was that there were not prints of the negatives, and the negatives were 2″ x 2″ black and white.
The result – I bought a little light box to illuminate the negatives, took pictures of them, then reversed the image.
The thing is, though, that sometimes the picture of the negative without adjusting the image is pretty cool.
