![]() ![]() This snail trail is a different beast altogether.ġ) How much photoflow do you use? Should I only use 1 1/2 ml per litre?ģ) Does anyone have any special tips for preventing this?Ĥ) Does tapping the reel on your palm a few times after taking the reel out of the photoflow help. They are not water marks, because I have had those before from not using Help either, the snail trail still formed. I tried the squegee as well, but that didn't I removed the excess bubbles/foam that formed at the top with a spoon. So, I usedĢml and got the same results - a snail trail, but this time it was only on the first 1/3 of the film. ![]() Suggested to heavily dilute the Kodak photoflow to about half of what is recommended on the instructions. So, after speaking to a friend who is 'in the know' and doing some research on this site in the archives, it was After they dried, there was a snail trail along the first half of the I put the reels in the photoflow for 30-ġminute, took them out, then hung them up to dry. I have been developing my film but constantly get a snail trail from the photoflowĪt first I followed Kodak's instructions and used 1:200, so 5ml for 1 litre. In that technique of course you do get the silver masking some of the colour, to give a desaturated effect.I think I'm slowly losing my sanity. It hadn't occurred to me until now that bleach-bypass is very similar to this, just with a proper colour developer not a B&W one. I've heard of people doing that with bleach-bypassed negatives to revert to the original colour. I suppose I could pick a sacrificial negative strip and try it, to see what happens! Maybe I'll do that with my next roll - it should be possible to do this process, scan the negative to see the image, then retrospectively bleach and re-fix. My guess is still that if you bleached these negatives you'd end up with virtually nothing, such a weak colour image that you won't see anything. But, presumably those under-exposed areas won't have a lot of colour either since the under-exposure will apply as much to the colour as to the silver (ultimately, as I understand it, the colour couplers act in conjunction with the silver to produce dye clouds, so if there's less exposed silver, there'll be less dye as well).
