2013-08-13 Thread M_Leverette
Developers of GIMP, I realize that the GIMP is written by programmers and not photographers or artists. I can no longer see financially supporting the GIMP beyond 2.6 due to the poor decisions made in 2.8. I much prefer to use GIMP over PS and other commercial software I have at my disposal. It

Apologies if this is all too obvious (except for me?), but is there a way to convert a black white negative (scanned) to a positive, in Gimp (now, alas, using Windows 8, for the moment). I thought there was (perhaps it was distant memories of my Photoshop days, using Mac? :))? Thanks in
