The processor was Fuji in Mansfield, OH. Five came back OK, but the sixth? Well......they missed my notation and it went through C41. Has that ever happened to any of you? Intelesting results, for sure: negative transparencies, looking pretty much like color negs but without the orange mask. I scanned a few into Photoshop, inverted and jinkied the color, primarily reducing yellow and green. Prints are passable - good enough for the wife's print album of the trip. Fuji did call me and apologize, mounted the 'slides,' and included a roll of Superia 200 and a voucher for free processing of our next PRINT roll (for the wife, that.) I've never made a mistake in my life! :-). Why did Fuji have to? With MY roll, yet? :-) again. Stan Yoder Pittsburgh BTW, I'm going to buy some of those day-glow-orange self-adhesive labels for future slide rolls.
