Hey guys, I have been into film for quite some years now and have gotten hold of a film scanner (Veho VFS-002m) a few years back and have always been scanning my own negatives, cutting down the cost of having the shops scan them into CDs for me. I don't shoot that often - I know it's not THAT GREAT of a film scanner.
Anyway, I have noticed that sometimes, a number of pictures from each roll of film will turn out something like this:
It's usually in the corners, and quite small so they don't usually matter to me since I don't print out my pictures. They also tend to follow the lines present in the image.
I honestly still have no idea what they are - it would be good if someone could enlighten me? Lol. Usually I would just re-insert my film into the scanner and it would go away after a few attempts.
But my recent roll of film came out with almost every picture filled with those "effects" which I would really like to rectify. It is an old roll of Kodak Elite Chrome 36 that probably expired in the 2000s - they were actually slides but the lab told me they don't do E6 processing anymore so they did a x-processing for me and basically transformed them back into negatives.
Note: this is the preview of the negative in the film scanning software and not the scanned film.
Is there a way round this? Am I doing something wrong? Is it the scanner? Do people with flatbed scanners get this too?
Thanks!
