Scan Negatives With Phone App
If you wonder what treasures may exist in that box of negatives you’ve saved, the app for FilmBox by Photomyne turns your smartphone into an easy-to-use scanner. There are both free and subscription versions.
    The free version was all that Maddie Kammerer needed when her family went through negatives preparing for her grandfather’s funeral.
    “We found some really good photos of Grandpa and his brother when he was two or three next to a car,” she says.
    After scanning a few negatives, she had the option to continue with the free version with ads or pay for a subscription. She chose the free version.
    The process is fast. According to Photomyne, 100 photos can be scanned in 10 mins. The app rotates, inverts, enhances, and crops the image.
    For the best results, darken the room and hold the negative vertically about 2 in. in front of a computer’s white screen using the link on the app (www.photomyne.com/backlight). Hold the phone so that the holes on the negative sides show and press the capture button for 3 seconds or say “go” if voice control is enabled. The image will appear and can be saved and shared.
    For customers who want to eliminate ads and preserve unlimited images, FilmBox offers subscriptions for $8/month, $30/year, or $40 for 2 years.
    “FilmBox by Photomyne offers a game-changing way to preserve and relive timeless memories,” says Mickey Atir, CMO of the Israel-based international company. “The app’s smart AI algorithms ensure a speedy process, making it faster and easier than traditional scanning services. It offers a cost-efficient solution for preserving cherished memories. The AI-powered colorization feature adds vibrancy to black and white photos instantly.”
    Subscriptions also include unlimited photo backup with access from computers and mobile devices as well as photo restoration and enhancements.
    The FilmBox by Photomyne app can be downloaded from the iPhone app store or Google Play store.
