Reversing your pinhole photographs !




How to Reverse your pinhole photographs !


Before doing anything you need to make sure the filter on the developing machine is over the light or you'll ruin your photographic paper !

  1. Take a piece of photographic paper and place it on the bed of the developing machine glossy side up over in the light. ( filter over the light)
  2. (The light switch is the button on the left)
  3. Take you chosen photograph and place it on top of the other piece of photographic paper face down so the picture is facing the glossy side of the other piece of paper.
  4. Then place the piece of glass on top of both pieces of paper so that they are sandwiched together.
  5. Turn the light off.
  6. Mo
  7. ve the filter to the left
  8. Press the big Grey button on the bottom right.
  9. After that the light should switch off automatically so when that is done all that needs to be done now is to develop the photos in the same process you did with the other photos =)
Once your photo is fully developed your reverse should look like a normal black and white picture instead of in negative like the one above. This is where you can experiment on Photoshop. This is my before picture.

In photoshop with this photo I went to image and changed the brightness and contrast and saved it.

I then changed the hue and saturation with this one and saved it.

I then went to photo filter and enhanced it and saved it.

I enhanced the vibrance with this one and saved it.

 And finally with this one I experimented with the hue and saturation again and got a Sepia effect.
