Hi Karen,

To change to negative, open in paint and invert.

I hope this helps in deciphering.

Kind regards

Thanks for that George!  I thought it was Paint that you use to do that, but when I went to do it, it wasn't there, I have Windows 8 and  maybe it's just hiding somewhere  :-\

Karen it might help if we could see a little more of the scan.  Those two boxes should show the year they entered Canada and year of Naturalisation

Hi Karen,

I don't have windows 7 or 8, as I prefer XP :)

I save all photographs and documents on the computer's wallpaper screen. Then I right click on photo or document and a drop down box appears with the programme paint.

Alternatively, click on start button at bottom left of screen; start/all programmes/accessories/paint.

If you use Adobe photoshop 6.0; and whilst the photograph or document is open in that programme, click on image/adjust/invert.

I hope this helps you find paint, or to invert :)

Kind regards

Invert colours is not available in pain for Windows 7 or 8.  Or at least I cannot find it
