Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 This Photo is from a roll of tri-x developed in t-max. I thought maybe the neg possibly was stuck to another neg during processing but this is the only neg that has the problem. I also think that I overdeveloped this roll because there is a lot more grain than other rolls I have done with the same film/developer combo. The times were the same, but temp was too high I think. One other thing. Can this at least be saved in PS? Anyone looking for a project?<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silent1 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 That does very much look like contact between layers of film on the reel -- and such could affect only a single negative, since the other area of film involved would be the base side. The dark (in positive) area is both underdeveloped and shows water marks or something similar. It might well be possible to save the image in PhotoShop, if you're an expert; most of the damage can be removed by cloning in the flat sky from undamaged areas. I think if you fix the sky, you won't notice the effect on the woman's face and upper body... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anupam Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Should be really easy to touch up in PS, IMO. -A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_champagne Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 It was... new horizon line changes viewpoint a bit but I guess you can live with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglas k. Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Why worry about it? The frame isn't worth saving. FWIW, it doesn't look overdeveloped, as I don't see any blown highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_oneill Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Much better...now get rid of that distraction on the right edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 29, 2005 Author Share Posted January 29, 2005 Douglas. Ouch. So the negative was stuck to another inside the reel. This hasn't happened to me before. How do I prevent this for next time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglas k. Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Anthony-- If it was stuck to another section of film, this frame would have been stuck with its emulsion side to the back (non-emulsion) side of another frame, so that's why you didn't see another ruined frame. I would guess that this frame was towards the end of the roll. How to avoid it happening in future? Practice rolling film onto reels (use outdated film), and perhaps get different reels -- I like the plastic type, as they're easy to load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
