negatives and transparencies/slides

Explanation:
These are "diapositivi". A photographic print is a "stampa" - a positive image on photographic paper.
"Transparency" or "slide" are the commonest EN words for positive images on photographic film

--------------------------------------------------

Transparency would be the better term here, as slide implies that the image is mounted in a frame for viewing with a slide projector - unless you know this to be the case, stick with the more ambiguous term.

Also, "negativi di grande formato" are technically known as "large format" negatives, not "large size".
