Fun & easy to use. With a little bit of work making a backlight box, or using a tablet with a white screen app, I was able to bring old negatives from the 40s and 50s back to life that we found after my Mom died. *Little trick I learned was to crop the picture of the negative a little bit bigger than needed, & then crop out the watermark afterwards. 😉 Cons - Wish it had more ability to make color adjustments after they have been restored. Probably able to do it with better prep work tho.

This app is extremely useful. I had over 200 negatives from both sets of grandparents, taken from 1923-1950. Using my pc screen as a backlight I ultimately got clear, crisp positives of every single picture. It has some annoying bugs, like not focusing on the first try, and every so often the images appear with black and white lines running through the bottom - have to redo those. On the whole, I feel it's worth the paid version for the trouble and cost it saved me.

I downloaded this app because I have a lot of old, large negatives that don't fit into my Kodak Scanza. Instead of spending a couple of hundred dollars on a new scanner, I decided to try this app and the results have been GREAT for me. The image quality is really good for the price and it is very easy to use. I know some people were complaining about the watermarks in the comments, but the watermark is honestly very unobtrusive, and I was more than happy to pay the extra couple of dollars to remove it. Thanks to this app, I was able to digitize many of my family's photos from the early 1900s. The coloring and resolution didn't always turn out perfect, but if I retried a few times I was able to get good photos for the most part!
