You may remember when photos were captured on film negatives – thin fragile strips that had to be developed in a darkroom. Truly it was a different time.

These days, negatives mostly just take up attic space, since there hasn’t been a great way to easily develop them. FilmBox changes all that.

The latest app from photo-digitising company Photomyne, FilmBox is a remarkable mobile darkroom that scans your old negatives and instantly turns them into proper pictures.

Just FYI, developing negatives used to take so much longer than this.

All you need is a white backlight. If you don’t have one, go to photomyne.com/backlight to turn your iPhone, iPad or Mac screen into one. Place the negative in front of this, then snap an image of it using FilmBox.

Really, it’s that easy.
