Accurate colors with less post-processing

Get Started

Fast and Consistent Conversion of Color Negatives

As film photographers we strive to control every aspect of image creation from exposure to developing and printing. Unfortunately, most film scanners and photo editing software introduce automated steps which often result in inconsistent and unpredictable output. With Positif you keep full control over the process and always achieve accurate and consistent results.

Calibrated Output

Positif uses a Calibration Target to characterize your whole scanning setup (a light source, a camera and a lens). Calibration is crucial for achieving good and repeatable output. With a Positif Calibration Target the process is fully automated and takes just a few minutes. Detailed instructions are also provided should you choose to make your own calibration target.

Batch or Individual Image Processing

Start with processing a single frame and once you are happy with your settings apply them to all files in a directory.

Digital Camera Support

Positif uses the LibRaw library and supports a large and expanding list of digital cameras including legacy models. The library is regularly updated as new cameras appear on the market.
