- Occasionally, I have intentionally processed some slide film as yours was
- processed, but for an entirely different reason: to get increased contrast
- and saturation in shots of fireworks.
-
- You can get slides from your "negatives", but they certainly won't be
- "good" slides; the contrast will be high, the colors surrealistic, and
- there will certainly be some color crossover.
-
- The procedure I'm about to describe really falls into a home-darkroom,
- do-it-yourself task. Maybe you can find someone with the facility.
-
- Sandwich the "negative slides" with a piece of developed, unexposed C-41
- print film (to get the orange mask). Duplicate it onto Vericolor Slide
- Film 5072 or SO-279. This is the film which is used to make color slides
- from color negatives. It is hard to predict your results, but hey, they
- may be interesting.
-
- In any case, I hope you got free replacement film and a sincere apology
- from the photofinisher!
