Ok sorry I had to just share this quickly but is it common knowledge that you can scan film negatives, invert, and process RAWs in camera for Pentax cameras? I have tested it with my K1 and found that the feature is also there in older bodies. 

In a nutshell, the process goes like this:

1. Take a RAW image of the film negative
2. use RAW development to edit the negative image
3. use "Digital Filter" > invert colours
4. adjust WB (for me, I adjust it by Kelvin to the lowest and play with the cast, and other minor adjustments 
5. save as JPEG (at this point the colour is still a bit off)
6. Edit JPEG and add more digital filters (saturation and contrast) as the digital filter functionality outside of "raw development" can be stacked. I usually just to 2-3 passes of increased saturation.

The good thing with this is it can process multiple files all at once. Beats having to load it up in lightroom / photoshop though will lose the ability to properly play with colours.

Anyway, hope someone finds this helpful! 

Side note, is this only available in Pentax cameras or does anyone know if other brands have it?
