The edge markings seem to appear fine but for whatever reason all the slides are dark. I'll have to do a test one last time this weekend before the 1st developer goes bad.

Sorry to revive this old thread but the same thing happened to me. Developed right after mixing the kit and allowing the chemicals to come up to temp. I used the Dynamic Chrome developer diluted 1+1 for 9 mins, as instructed, with constant agitation on a Unicolor motor base. Slides still came out super dark. I've developed slide film several different times over the years and never had such poor results. It was 4 rolls from 3 different cameras. Film of varying age from 2 - 10 years expired (normally not an issue with slide). The best looking roll out of the lot was the 10-year expired Aerochrome of all things. The rolls from my Nikon point-and-shoot and Yashica TLR (with fresh meter battery) all came out super dark. Last night I mixed their normal E6 developer to push 2 rolls of Provia to ISO 200. Followed the instructions; diluted the developer in half and followed the time on the sheet. Even added a whole minute for being a few degrees under temp. Still very dark compared to results from other kits. I wonder if it's this whole dilution thing and maybe their timings are off. I really don't know.

<p>I just called my nearest Walmart in West Covina, CA. They told me prices are $10 and up for a roll. The woman didn't sound very knowledgeable about the whole process.<br> She did say that it takes about a week. You don't get negatives back - only a CD. The Walmart website mentions getting web uploads but she didn't mention that.<br> http://www.walmart.com/photo/how_it_works.gsp</p>
