What was a negative aspect of the daguerreotype process?
Long – or very long – exposure times – made sharp images of people almost unattainable with early lenses & plates. The photograph had to be viewed in good light, and carefully angled to be seen well; viewing at the wrong angle made the image appear as a negative.
Which photographic process involved developing a paper negative from which an unlimited number of positives or prints could be made?

How do you tell the difference between a daguerreotype and a ambrotype?
In fact, this main difference is also the most reliable way to tell ambrotypes and daguerreotypes apart: daguerreotypes are backed by shiny silver, while ambrotypes are backed by a piece of glass painted black. The daguerreotype appears to be on a mirror, so when viewing it at an angle the dark areas are silver.
What is a photographic negative and what is its advantage over a direct positive image?
Film negatives usually have less contrast, but a wider dynamic range, than the final printed positive images. The contrast typically increases when they are printed onto photographic paper.
Can you reproduce pictures from a negative?
The simplest way to duplicate negatives is to make a print and then to photograph the print using a large-format camera (4″ x 5″ or larger) to produce a copy negative. Most museum darkrooms or local photo labs should be able to do the work with little or no investment in equipment.

How do I scan old negatives?
Get some silver card stock—it’s not terribly expensive, but you’ll want it to be thick—and fold it up into a wedge. Position that wedge behind your negative, and the light from your scanner will hit it and reflect off, which gives you a crude (but effective) backlight for what you’re scanning.
