Lots of different image manipulation programs out there.

The simplest way to me would be scan them and then use the "Paint" program that comes loaded on PC's. In that program, with your photo open, you would click "Image" and then "Invert Colors".

Do you mean can you scan them on a scanner ? Or a adapter for the scanner to run film negative ?
The software is all over the web to do photo work, just do a search and read up on it and pick the one you want, there are a lot of free ones also.

Yes, you can just scan them and use photoshop,or any software to crop,color,or improve contrast. You can even use your windows software without having to buy any other software programs. I use print master for most of mine. Works great. rockhound

I use an old Plustek Optic Pro UT12 scanner. It has the holders in the lid for large & 35mm slides and also hold strips of 35mm negs. The software will scan the strip of negs & save each one on it's own. The software bundle has a decent editor but I clean em up with Photoshop. I've done some badly badly faded slides & they came out great.
