How do you keep the negative flat?

Nice results, I think you may have the negative viewed from the wrong side and various bits of writing are reversed! Just have to flip the images to sort that out.
Very nice set ! Liked the first one the most ! Mike's observation about reverse writing is correct.
Thanks for the comments

Rawtherappe can handle pixel shift files in DNG form, Its open source so it is free to download.
A steep learning curve but excellent for raw file processing.
I haven't personally shot a pixel shift photo yet
Be prepared for rather large files, on the KP I have seen 125MB raw.
I have only only done a few trials with it however there are lots of help online, I have seen mention of saving the PP file as a 16 bit tiff but IIRC I've only done Jpeg. There is a way of tuning the Motion Correction somewhere too.

"It's great that one can convert older film negative or slide at home."
I copied the prints rather than the negs as my Ohnar slide copier will not hold the negatives. I'm sure I managed it once before but it's a problem from memory.
So I'm contemplating getting a flatbed light source and neg holder, I have just been looking at this;

not bad for £23 but noticed one complaint that it didn't work on negatives!
Anyone with helpful suggestions? clean ones please.
Thank you guys for your comments, appreciated as always.
