    If you know somebody with a decent negative scanner such as an Epson V500/V600 or V700 it should be possible to scan them with that. It might be a bit tricky but not overly difficult.

    Once you can get the disk film out, to place it flat on the scanner it shouldn't be a problem.

    They have been developed at some stage, I know nothing about photography and just downloaded photoshop free trill so I could invert a photo of them to see what's on them. I left home at 16 in the 80's and went to England with no money in my pockets and nowhere to stay but I did have this camera for the first few weeks but have no idea where the photos went. This is a photo I took with my camera phone holding one up to a white background on the computer just to see if I could recall any of the pictures.

    Color negatives are very different than scanning positive slides or prints. Color negatives have an overall orange mask, designed to aid photo printing of negatives onto regular photographic paper. The orange mask makes scanning color negatives difficult.

    There is ways, but if you aint to fresh with PS, wont be easy, you'd also want some serious scans to get anything usable tbh
