Can this item be changed to an important valuable request? I tried using the inverted
curves to process a negative image and it is very problematic. All the functions operate
in reverse and I could not get the image to process without loosing data in the highlights
or shadows... (the program is designed to work on positives in subtle and not so subtle
ways) I did find a workaround though. What I do is process the image as neutral and
only invert the colors nothing else then I save it as a 16 bit TIFF. Next I open the
image from the TIFF file and process it the way I want...seems to work, but very cumbersome.
What I suggest is adding a very simple conversion in the "preprocessing tab", a check
box which inverts the color values before any other steps so the program is working
on a positive from the beginning.

yes, *please* add the ability to invert early in the workflow. I'm trying to process
hundreds of negatives I've digitized using my Nikon D70, and it would be awesome to
have this.
Please!

In the meantime I have tested using a CLUT to convert a negative to a positive, and
while indeed this produces a positive image, as soccerda noted above, all the exposure
controls operate in reverse, and I'm guessing all sorts of functions such as those
involving highlighting no longer work correctly.
Is it possible to implement an invert function such that the exposure controls would
work as designed after inverting?
Aren't such problems inherent to any use of a CLUT, and not just when inverting?

Sadly the work stalled and nobody had the motivation to continue :(
I had the impression that the negative clut would do the job but it looks like it is
not as early as needed and we need to use inverted settings also :(
A better option is to open the adobe standard profile and invert the tone curve

Please upload a sample file of a negative to http://filebin.net/ or somewhere and share
the link here.

I started a RawPedia page for processing negatives, please expand (don't worry about
poor English, I can revise):

As I don't actually have any such files to test it on, the article is short :)

Hi Folks,
you can find 3 scans of negatives here:

Thanks Rob! May I put them in our public test image folder?

Thank you, uploaded to http://rawtherapee.com/shared/test_images/ as negative_scan_rob_#.nef
I can replace "rob" with something else if you like, as long as its not long.
