Hello Photographers

I been using C41 to processes my colour and B&W film, I have the scanned/photographed with my mirrorless camera and transferred the ilford XP2 Negatives over to Lightroom and now ready to edit them.

My issue is when search for information all I'm getting coming up is negative lab pro but I currently cannot afford £99 for a plug in.

It does seem a good option but I will just have to hold out and do it the hard way, Can anyone guide me through processing my negatives captured on my mirrorless Panasonic G9.

I do subscribe to adobe and have photoshop and Lightroom but I rather use Lightroom,

For the XP2 negatives, you have to use the "Tone Curve" tool in the develop module. Drag the small box in the lower left-hand corner to the lower right-hand corner. Then drag the box in the upper right-hand corner to the upper left-hand corner. This essentially inverts the image so it can then be processed normally.
