[...] This compresses the tonal range to allow for the limited tonal range that the Cyanotype process will print. Nearly there now, you could use this negative ‘as is’ try it and see how you get on. I found by using a coloured negative you get slightly better results so the very last step is to change the colour to a pleasant reddish hue , go to ‘layer’† to ‘Colors’ and to ‘Colorize’ in the little widow change ‘Hue’ to 15, ‘Saturation’ to 100 and ‘Lightness’ to 30 and there we are, a negative ready to print out onto a transparency.

I am trying to take a bunch of old b&w negatives and
reverse print them into positive photos, by using my
scanner. Once I get the negatives scanned and saved
on my computer, how do I get Gimp to print positive prints?

Mary~ Look for inkjet transparencies, they should be sold in kinko’s or a printing store near you.

Thank you!
I followed/ tested all the thoughts here and I did everything so perfectly.

Just have to practice/ memorize the flow with basic paper and then take the plunge to plastic!

Thank you so much for these insights!

Thanks for a great article, but be careful what OHP film you buy. I tried some today, supposedly for “copiers” and the ink just formed beads in the highlight (dark) parts. I think this is for laser copiers and not inkjets. Anyway, it looked good for about 20 seconds!
