  1. I think you are asking if you can take a digital file, and make an actual "negative" on film. The answer is yes, but it is quite expensive.

    There are professional photo labs that offer a service to "write" digital files to film using what is called a "film recorder" which exposes the digital image onto film. The film is then developed, and the negative can be printed just like any other negative would be.

    However, with the plethora of digital printing options out there today, there really isn't a compelling reason to do this, as the digital file is/has replaced negatives. If your motivation is your concern about archiving your digital memories - simply be sure to have more than one backup copy of every image you have taken. Yes... it can indeed be a time consuming process, but as long as you have a system in place for doing so, it is quite simple - and more archival than negatives. In fact, I'd be more concerned with the task of converting your negatives to digital format.

    Hope this helps!


  2. Yea you can.  Just make sure to use a film SLR of some type of camera where you can control the shutter speed.  Set the camera on a tripod and focus onto the screen, you may have to crop the picture in a bit.  Turn off all lights in the room around and shut the windows to make sure external light doesn't contaminate the colors of your picture.  Then take a long exposure using the timer to eliminate any shaking of the camera from the shutter.  I say about 1/4 of a second should do it if not then maybe longer. After taking the picture then develop and get your negatives.

  3. Digital photo will be convert in negative from Photoshop and corel photopaint softwer. U can printout from digital labs.

  4. You can convert the image to a negative of the image in programs like Photoshop.  Then you can have them printed out that way.  Is that what you mean?

    Achilles gave you a good answer.  Go with that.
