I searched the forum and elsewhere to find a similar looking anomalie that I've been encountering on my negatives, but I'm just not certain what is going on.
I have experience developing, but recently have been encountering small spots with a halo around them. I give my tank good solid taps to dislodge bubbles, but could these be air bells? I don't typically presoak, and usually never have these spots.
I use a shared lab and the chemicals are mixed and maintained by a tech so I'd assume everything is right there, but you never know. I just want to figure out what I could be doing wrong in my workflow that could cause these annoying spots.
I give a final rinse in water with photoflo and hang in a drying cabinet. I've wondered if this could be a drying issue?
I'm attaching a crop that shows some of them. They don't occur on every frame. After turning positive, these appear as dark spots with a lighter halo around them. I appreciate your input and apologize if there was a similar post on this before that I missed. Thank you
