French antique photographs on glass (1880 or there of more or less.)
The glass photographs are 4 x 8. I found them at a Brocante (antique market) in the south of France.
Shelley and Lilly, both commented yesterday on how I could use Photoshop to invert the glass photographs from a negative, to an image.
I followed their instructions. I nearly jumped out of my skin when the ghost-like, past images, become "real". When their detailed faces appeared I gasped so loud I scared myself.
Below you will see the antique glass photographs as they are, and then restored with photoshop.
Then I added a little color…
Thank you Shelley and Lilly for showing me how to use Photoshop.

Note: How to take a glass slide and change it into a photo?
I held the glass slide up to the light and took a photo of it with my digital camera.
Then I downloaded the image from my camera to the computer.
Then I opened the image file in photoshop.
Next I followed the instructions Lilly and Shelley sent me:
(If you want you can download one of my photos, of the glass slides, to your computer.)
1. Open one of the images you've posted above in Photoshop.
2. Go to the word "Image" in the line of words across the very top of your screen (likely the 3rd word after "Photoshop" in the upper left.)
3. Click and hold down the word "Image" until a list appears under neath it. Sneak your cursor onto the word "adjustments". Hold your cursor over that word until yet another list appears under it; sneak over into that list and scroll select the word "Invert" a bit down in the list.
4. BOOM! instantly all those faces and crisp aprons will spring to life on your screen!
