Have I got this right....the idiots cut the frames through the images? If Alex is having to stitch cut frames together, his task will be greatly eased if he has the frames drum scanned. This will ensure that he has the absolute maximum usable image area to work with at the join. The reason being that there will be no curl at the unsupported image end, which would be the case when using a CCD film scanner, unless he is mounting between glass, and that brings it's own problems big time!
One of the many benefits of drum scanning<BG>
Dear Alex
As a follow up to my previous advise, since the lab ignored your clear instructions and severely damaged your film, they should accept full responsibility and stand the full cost of having the job rescued to the highest standard at the absolute minimum.
I suggest that even if you had not given those instructions, the lab is still at fault for not checking the film prior to cutting, after all its on the cards that any film could have non standard frame spacing.....I am assuming it was a professional lab?
Hope it all works out for you.
Cheers
