Terry, I do want to do this as simply as possible. While being a geek about 
many facets of my hobby interests,  this particular one's not quite as 
important to me in a "geek" sense as are some others. For my introduction to 
this the MAC Preview method will get me started just fine.

I do appreciate your, and all the other responders, interesting replies. I have 
looked at every app website that's been offered. Thank you all.

alf,

Hi Alf,
   definitely do not shoot in JPG as you lose so much detail and
ability to edit. Shoot in RAW if using a digital camera or if scanning with
a film scanner save files as 16 bit tiff files not JPG. There are many
programs that can invert your image into a positive including GIMP and
Darktable. I would probably use GIMP for your task with JPG or Tiff files,
but I see you already have a working solution from a JPG. However,
Darktable might be needed for RAW files.

You can do that with the Preview app on your Mac.  It works with 
monochrome as well as color.

Just a thought - if it is possible to scan the film to a raw format then you 
might get better results from the final jpegs when exported from DT.

Try the negadoctor module. Type negadoctor in the search module spot. In the 
upper right hand corner, select "black and white film" from the drop-down menu.

For some reason, this module does not show up in the default suggested modules.

Hope this module does what you want. I have just played with it.
