Norman, I curious, is the edge of the film (by the holes) darkened? I'm making the assumption that the photo-sensitive emulsion is even over the width of the film, even the portion not normally exposed. If the film edge is clear, then overexposure is likely the problem. If not, then xrays are the culprit. Dave

Norman, For black white film that is very dense, there is something called farmer's reducer that chemically washes some of the denseness from the film. Assuming you have color negatives, you might want to investigate if such a thing works for you too? Maybe someone on the list knows? Dave B.

Using a Nikon 2000 scanner or a HP Photo smart scanner and nikon and vuescan software, what would be the best place to start to extract the images from the film. The images were shot underwater documenting coral diseases. I am not so concerned about quality as the ability to see diseased coral. It is just too hard to go reshoot.

Art, You certainly do have a point. For me, though, it's certainly not as much profit as I'd like!

FYI, this quotes the Readme file installed with the upgrade. Dave B.
