<p>Thanks for all the help guys. You're definitely right, it's hard to see the color but it's there. I'm not sure how that initial image I posted came out the way it did, I think my scan software may have defaulted back to black and white after I set it to color or something. Having had a little time to try other ways of at least getting a preview of what I've got, I managed to flip things to a positive in Aperture, and the results look much more promising. I do need to get a proper scanner, but I'm feeling better about my development process now.</p>

The Unicolor kit combines the bleach

and fix into one bath. Do I need to

extend my blix time and/or get more

exacting with temps?

<p>There is an overall orange mask, but I was concerned by a general lack of color beyond that. My original "scan" for some reason doesn't show that at all. I'll attach a photo of one of the negatives held up to my computer screen.</p><div></div>

<p>I'm pouring over the negatives once again, and I'm actually seeing some colors in places. I think the one shot I managed to "scan" before I went to work was of a particularly grey Washington day, this whole roll is grey cloudy days, but I am seeing some little bits of blue and orange here and there. I may just need to get a proper film scanner, and shoot more than just cloudy days.</p>

<p>The edge code on this roll is 400 GC, it's supposed to be Kodak Gold. Was really hoping for a second that I had misread the label or something and bought chromogenic film, but something has obviously gone wrong in the developing. Just trying to figure out what now.</p><div></div>

<p>I picked up a Unicolor C41 powder chemical kit from freestyle photo and gave it a try last night for the first time. I used a roll of generic Kodak 400 color negative film at the recommended times, and as close as I could be to the recommended temps, but my results don't appear to be in color. I don't have film scanner currently, but using the backlight of my phone on my all-in-one's scanner, I did end up with moire'd image of what appears to be a black and white negative. There's a decided lack of blues and reds when held up to the light, it really just looks like a grayscale negative. <br>

What would I have done wrong to end up with these unexpected results?</p><div></div>
