In the past, all photographs on printed paper had to go through a laboratory in which the rolls of film were developed, leaving the negative strips almost always in the hands of the owner as backup copies.
Today, the situation has changed drastically with the advent of digital cameras and their system of storing photos in files that are easy to view on computers, smartphones, and even televisions.
But this does not mean that traditional photography has disappeared. It is still used by analog photography purists and professional photographers. It is also very likely that it survives in our homes through old photographic negatives in which instants of the life of a close relative lie frozen.
App to view photo negatives
To see this kind of content it is not necessary to go to the laboratories. Now with smartphones, their integrated camera and a suitable application, it is possible to view photographic negatives with the original color in which the images were captured. It is even possible to color them and digitize them in the usual formats. One such app is Photomyne’s FilmBox, available for iOS and Android.
How to view photo negatives with the FilmBox app
Its way of visualizing negatives is very intuitive, it is enough to place the negative in front of a white light, for example, a light that is emitted from the computer screen. For this, it has a blank page on its website that can be activated from the following link: https://photomyne.com/backlight.
Then just point at the negative with the app open on your phone. This will take care of cropping the frame and offering to save the photo file in the gallery or in the location you prefer.
