Default They're actually positives

For the most part, the pieces that are advertised as "color negatives" are actually positive transparencies (like slides). I have bought a few Milw. Braves and the years have not been kind to the color balance on many of these historic pieces, especially those from the late 1950s and very early 1960s.

You'd be surprised, however, how fast and how well a single-click color correction can be made in a program like Photoshop after scanning the positive.
