## Description

Hold your film negative against the light and point your iPhone at it to see a positive image live. Adjust it, freeze it or save a reference image - no darkroom required.

Positive View turns your iPhone camera into a high quality live viewer for photographic negatives.

Place a color or black-and-white film over an even light source, point the camera at it, and Positive View displays a positive image in real time. Use it to quickly see the images, select the best ones for scanning, or make a quick reference image.

Features:
• Live color and black-and-white negative viewing
• Automatic color balancing, with a lock for consistent viewing
• Brightness, contrast, and warmth controls
• Freeze, zoom, and pan a frame for closer inspection
• Save the current positive to Photos
• Calibrate for even illumination and to counter lens falloff
• Turn a second device into a plain white light panel

Camera processing happens on your device. Positive View has no ads, accounts, analytics, or tracking. Images are saved only on your device and only when you tap Save.

For best results, use an even, diffused light source with low flicker and keep the film flat.
