help with red slides

[sillago]

Anyone here can help with this slight problem:
People processing my slide film really (really!!!) screwed up with about 4 rolls of my film. They've all turned up really red, maybe the temperature was wrong or maybe the chemicals were old..I don't know.
Problem is now what can I do with the slightly (in some cases very) red slides that I have.
Thanks

Do you still want to show them as slides, or will you be wanting to eventually do prints from them?

You might want to try having the slides scanned, then correcting the digital image via a program like Photoshop. But it will be a lot of time & effort.

Unfortunately, we all wind up with mistakes like that once in a while. Sometimes you have to just chuck the batch & chalk it up to "experience".

Hello,

Red slides could indicate a light leak somewhere in the process, perhaps in the camera, film storage/handling or in the film development. Light leaks will appear in blobs and inconsistent thru the roll. Some areas may look completely burned out.

Old chemicals will look slightly different. If the color developer is old the colors will turn out awful, you'll know as soon as you see it. Old/bad color developer will show a somewhat uniform uglyness thru the entire roll(s)

Incorrect temp/aggitation will show up as under/over developed and can appear in blobs thru the roll.

Kinks in the film will appear as bright spots. It's caused from incorrect loading on the developing spools. Can really ruin the frame.

To really know what's going on I would have to find out some more information about these rolls. I have had one roll of color print film turn out almost black and white but some very slight touch of color. It was with the film and not the processing/developing/handling. The best I could figure was old film. Sometimes strange things do happen for no good reason.
