Hello All,

I am photographing 2 1/4 negatives with a CANON 50D and macro lens. Then in Photoshop CS3 I was looking for the filter to convert the negative film file into a positive file so I can work on it with Adobe and then print in on my Canon printer.. I have tried to sample the orange base color and take that out and then invert and then increased the contrast curve. Can not get it right… Is there a way to do it with Adobe or is there a plug in to do this. Or is there a program on line to do this?

Thank You.
Robert Gladden.
