Hello Keith,

since your negatives are Black-and-White, a simple Automator Workflow may suffice to do the ground work of the negative-positive conversion.


 

Open Automator and select New -> Workflow

  1. BulletSet the Workflow to receive images in "Finder.app",

  2. BulletAdd an Copy Finder Items action, disclose the triangle and edit the folder to save the converted images to,

  3. BulletAdd an "Apply Quartz Composition Filter to Image", set the selector to "Color Invert", Luminance,

  4. BulletAdd an "Apply Quartz Composition Filter to Image", set the selector to "Black and White",

  5. BulletSave the workflow and select a name.

  6. BulletSelect an image in the Finder for a trial run. Press the "Run" button. The service should install itself automatically in your User Library in the "Services" folder.


Here is a sample run: The negative



The converted result:




I put the workflow here as a compressed zip file to download http://dreschler-fischer.de/scripts/BWNegative.workflow.zip

Léonie

 

P.S. If the quartz composition action should not be available in Automator, you may need to install Xcode from the AppStore.
