<p>The holes do not line up exactly the same with each image on the roll, so I have to assume it was something that Kodak did to help index the film either for the camera or for the developer?</p>

<p>I already gave up, Scott. That image you see here is the best that Photoshop can do with the colors. The red channel is just plain faded away completely. The blue is almost gone as you can see in the broom handle ... the green is still there although extremely faint.</p>

<p>They look machine punched to me. They are in the same order and spacing for every frame on the roll. Although different rolls have a different number of holes per frame. It's like some kind of roll ID thing maybe? Not sure if the holes were punched by Kodak (I'm assuming it's Kodak film) or the developer.</p>

<p>Wow Vick, you're quick! :-) I posted an example of one of the negatives. This is my mother at Halloween time I think. Probably Oct 1946?</p>

<p>I am going through my grandmother's boxes of negatives and scanning to preserve them. I found some very old (1940's?) color 120 film that I have not seen before. The images are 6x8 and the color has faded so much so that I can only scan them in B&W mode - there is not enough color information to even restore - just some of the blues and greens are left. The film has a series of holes punched in the edge for each frame. What kind of film is this?</p>

<p>Thanks!<br /> Bryan</p><div></div>

<p>I just wrote a short 'how to' article on how I transferred my 8mm to DVD. But I sent it out to have it done -- the DIY route was too expensive and not as good quality as I wanted.</p>
