The only stupid question is the one you don't ask they always say! First of all most scanning software that is designed to scan negatives automatically converts it to positive. The only exception is when you scan to a raw file in a program such as Vuescan or actually the Minolta software will do it as well. In this case you simply invert the image and waalaa you have a standard positive image. In the case of a raw file the color levels will need to be adjusted since no editing has been done by the scanner at all and all the original scanned information is retained in the raw file which is advantageous at times.
