homebrew-negatives

Convert and process your digital film negatives. Bash scripts for MacOS.

Requirements

Make sure to have the Homebrew package manager for MacOS installed. The installation instructions may look weird to first-timers, but it's really done in a minute.

Optional, but recommended: Make this homebrew-negatives tap and its included tools available to your local Homebrew ecosystem. Quoted from Homebrew docs:

brew will be able to work on those formulae as if they were in Homebrew's canonical repository. You can install and uninstall them with brew [un]install, and the formulae are automatically updated when you run brew update.

To install the tap, open your terminal and enter this command:

$ brew tap tomkyle/negatives

Installation

To install all programs, open your terminal and type:

$ brew install linear-tiff positive

Formulae

Moved formulae

These tools have moved to filmspeed/homebrew-filmspeed and are no longer available in this tap:
