Is this is development or user problem?

<p>I had a roll of Kodak Gold 400 developed at CVS today. Every image is covered in white spots. I checked my UV filter to see if it was dirty and it appears to be OK. I also scanned in the negatives myself with the same results. Could this have been some sort of developing error at CVS? I'm wondering if using old chemicals could have caused this.</p><div></div>

<p>Oh Myyy Looks like a bad case of Cheap minimum wage running the machine...</p>

<p>This is probably a processing problem. There will be dark spots on the negatives. Are these photographic dark spots or is there dirt imbedded in the film? Are there spots in the minimum density areas between frames and beyond the perforations?</p>

Another possibility would be the

processing clerk was not wearing

gloves when they handled your film

after processing but before scanning.

Check that negative for a thumbprint.

<p>Bonnie I had that thought but it went the whole frame and that is a big arsed thumb... :)</p>

Haha, I guess you are right. Then I

would gather it is either dirty

chemicals in the C41 processor or

possibly the scanner lense needs

cleaned. If the neg looks ok, try having

it scanned elsewhere.
