Pretty big ISO screw up...

I certainly screwed up. I shot five rolls of Fujicolor Press 400 at a setting of

100. Am I going to get anything off these rolls, and if I do, how hard is it

going to be to enlarge and color correct a good print? I feel like such a fool;

I shot 12 rolls for the class and if 5 aren't usable I'm going to be in quite a

bit of trouble with my professor (she has a bit of a harsh personality).

they can pull process the film with adequate results

just make sure you go to a DECENT photo shop and explain to them, it will cost a little more than usual however.

Hmmm... I get my film developed at my school photo store, hopefully they'll be nice.

Well, you're gonna probably have to go somewhere where you can speak to the technicial personally, they are going to have to change the way they process your film so that you get usable results

You're only two stops overexposed. C41 negative films handle overexposure very well. If you were two stops underexposed it would be a much different kettle of fish, but you should still get pretty decent images from this film even if processed normally. Maybe some blown highlights, but IMHO there is no need to panic just yet.

 

Tell your lab what you've done, and follow their advice. Good luck.

A two stop overexposure of negative film isn't too bad. Many people routinely shoot film at one ISO lower than the box speed. You will have a denser negative than usual but the printer should have no problem with it, the analyzer will automatically adjust for it. "Pulling" film means that you give it less development time to prevent the negative from getting too dense. But, what some labs call "pulling" is to give normal development time for the film and then give the dense negative two stops more printing exposure to make the print.

 

Think about this. People buy and use disposable cameras which have no exposure control. They can take pictures in bright sunlight or in overcast where there is a two stop difference. Still, they get photos

back that look properly exposed. The printer analyzer takes care of that.

I've shot the Fuji 800 speed color print film and rated it at 200, processed normally and

machine printed with no trouble whatsoever!

Develop them normally, they will be perfectly OK. You will notice the grain is finer. The over exposure latitude if neg films is enormous. If you under expose by 2 stops then that is bad news.
