Sandy,

As Walker suggested it seems like just reading it as is is the simplest -- (after all if you are doing negatives you
need to flip your point of view of positive/negative quite often).
But if you do want to just flip the ink separation files, just open in Photoshop, select just the Green channel. It'll
now show just the steps in B&W. Select and Invert either the whole thing or just the step wedges.

Walker,

Yes, I understand that the values would be the same going from 100% to 0% as going from 0% to 100%, but then when I read the value of the positive it is in inverse relationship to the scale. That is confusing for me, and would be even more confusing to explain to a student.

But perhaps it would be easier for me to just flip the scale on the negative so that 0% reads 100% and 100% reads 0%.
