Retrieving an image from an old camera negative - GIF

[BuffaloJohn]

My phone has three cameras, one of which has a macro lens. I kinda want to try this, but I don't have any negatives. I feel like the RGB subpixels behind the negative would screw things up.

While the pixels might resolve a mosaic pattern, the resolution of the pixels is such that is really doesn't matter. I used to do camera systems in a past life The mix of the analog world and the digital world, unless you dive into the extreme, has enough noise that the good old human eye levels it out (a really general description)...

Your biggest issue will be getting an in focus image, holding a phone by hand. All good setup have things nice and stable, object and camera held at the optimal focal point.
