For the negative, you start with a "negative curve" (top left to bottom right) in Curves. A slight S shape increase contrast:
Thanks for your reply.
May not have been too clear in my post. Did my attachment come through? I scanned it in, opened it with Gimp, inverted the image and played around with curves, levels, etc. to make it not so blotchy. Not too successful. The negatives are pretty old so I'm not sure if that may be the problem or not. I found a link for scanning with a flattop that said: place on scanner, cover with sheet of white paper, place bright light (desk lamp), scan at highest resolution (600). The only addition I added is a glass pane over the negative to flatten it. Put that directly on the negative and paper on top with bright light. Is there a better way?
After that I tried to resize it for printing and got really confused. What are the steps for resizing? Canvas first? Image first? Print size first? Or, is it even necessary to do any of that?
Thanks again!
